We left Lodz after the baptism, traveled through the snow storm and were able to spend some time in Kielce Saturday night with the great threesome there. As the sign says..."Life is Beautiful"... and it really is when you are on a mission. I wouldn't trade our experiences for anything. These days are priceless!
President Nielson and Elders Hinckley, Curtis, and Guthrie in the Plac Artystow (Artists)...a square in the middle of this most beautiful street named...
...Sienkiewicza Street. A resident of Kielce told us that it was voted 'most beautiful street in Poland'. At the head of this very long, lovely street is the following statue:
This is a statue of Henryk Sienkiewicz who was a famous author and poet who wrote about the persecutions of the early Christian church. All students are required to read his books in High School. (And this great street is named after him.)The weather went from rain, to snow to calm, back to snow. Just before this picture was taken, the First Fall of the mission took place. I was walking with President Nielson around a corner and slipped on the ice. I grabbed his arm, he slipped and both of us were sprawled out on the street. Nobody was hurt and I am sure it will be the first of many such falls. My only regret---I didn't think to take a picture! But the Elders will always have a great memory of it!
And last of all....the only statue in the world of the American Jazz Artist, Miles Davis. Why in Poland? Go figure! President Nielson, show a little respect to all our jazz enthusiasts! It was great to visit with these great Elders in Kielce. Life IS Beautiful!
