Our quarterly CCM meeting in Prague. L to R: Presidents Hapgood (Warsaw District) and Pawlik (Katowice District), Elder Schutze (Area Seventy), 2 District Presidents from Czech Republic, and President Irwin (Czech Republic Mission President).
President Irwin and President Nielson...good friends, neighboring missions. Standing in front of President Irwin's transfer board. Soon our friends, Jim and Diane Bohne from Las Vegas, will be seen on this board!
After the meeting, Presidents Pawlik, Nielson and Hapgood did a little sight-seeing...about 10 minutes worth!
More of the beautiful centrum in Prague.
On the way back through Poland, President Nielson stopped in Wroclaw to visit the branch there. This is the Zan family.
This is the Call family...Sister Call is the Katowice District Relief Society President...
...and Branch President Cielenski and his family.
Now...this is the coolest statue(s) I have ever seen.......and the pictures don't do them justice. On one side of the street there are 6 people (?) trying to cross the road. As they get closer to the crosswalk, they start sinking into the pavement.
On the other side of the crosswalk, people who have crossed 'under' the sidewalk are popping out of the pavement! Notice the pavers on the sidewalk.
There are 2 thoughts on these statues and what they depict. #1: These 13 statues make reference to the underground walkways you find in many European cities that allow pedestrians to go under busy intersections. #2: The statues called "Anonymous Pedestrians" depict the introduction of martial law in Poland and more specifically the many people who disappeared in the middle of the night on December 13, 1981. You decide.

The statues are referred to as the "Anonymous Pedestrians" and It commemorates the introduction of martial law and in particular the many people who disappeared in the middle of the night on 13 december 1981. Here's a link to a little more about it :)
