Monday night we finally got to Gdansk just in time to go to dinner with the missionaries and some VERY nice people who live in this beautiful city.
L to R: Elders Zatylny, Hancock, Lundin, David, Elders Plumb, Siebert, President Nielson, Brat Kempa-branch mission leader in the Gdansk Branch, Sister Zatylny and my new friend, Marzena Kempa. After a great dinner we took a walk down Dluga Street.
Here we are in front of Lech Walesa's office--the 1st national leader of the Solidarity Union. Solidarity (a broad anti-soviet social movement) was founded in Gdansk in September 1980--it's birthplace being the Gdansk shipyards. Years later this would lead to the break-up of the Soviet power in Poland.
L to
R- Brother Kempa, his wife Marzena, Elder & Sister Zatylny, Elders Lundin, Hancock, Plumb, David (their investigator), and Elder Siebert.
We continued our walk and found ourselves on Murami Street---otherwise known as the "Amber Street". During the day this street is lined with merchants selling beautiful amber jewelry. This precious stone is found in large deposits along the Baltic shores in Poland. Yes, I'm coming back when these shops are open! We had a great evening...great company! Brother Kempa promised us a personal tour of this amazing city. In the background is one of the tallest brick cathedrals in Europe.
The next morning, we were on our way to District Meeting with the Gdansk missionaries and guess what? Yes, another devoted recycler! I am impressed!
Once at the chapel, District Leader Elder Plumb held a great district meeting. Elders Lundin and Hancock (on the far left side) are serving in Warsaw but were in Gdansk to fulfill residency requirements for Elder Lundin. Missionaries in Poland are not required to have visas but have 2 year residence cards, allowing them to stay here for that period of time.
Our missionaries in Gdansk: Sister Zatylny, Elders Siebert, Plumb, and Zatylny. Things are happening in Gdansk...they are teaching to find and finding to teach. Keep up the good work!
