Elders Nielson, Basha, Buckner and Kalinowski in front of the Bydgoszcz Chapel. This is Easter Sunday and the streets are empty. One great thing about the Poles, on Easter, they stay at home with their families and it is a day of rest and worship. The Elders were enjoying the day and the beautiful weather. Below they are showing some of the candy they somehow received from the Easter Bunny. L to R: Elders Nielson, Basha, Buckner and Kalinowski.
On Saturday we ran into the Wencel's at the huge park in Bydgoszcz. Here Andrzej is showing the art of fishing to his little family. You figure out what the sign says.
It was a beautiful day to enjoy the sun and be outside. We walked around the park- or at least as long as Ola could last.
One of the sights we found was the top of a tank that they used in some film. Right behind this is where they build the Trams for the cities in Poland. Here 'Mr. Athletic' gets up on top of the turret..... on the 4th try! 
Artur and Kornelia and their great family...a great addition to the Primary!
President Isaac (Branch President) and wife, Renata. They are great people and we enjoy their friendship.
Elders Nielson and Buckner with an investigator and a member.
The Zalewski family....a great strength to the branch. Hey, someone is missing!
Here's Olivia! She was upstairs in a lesson with Sister Tarasevich, the Young Women's President.
Easter Sunday, after the meetings and interviews we were heading back home, while preparing for our 'in-the-car Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches', Elder and Sister Tarasevich invited us over for a Sunday dinner. Thank you so much! This was unexpected and most appreciated.
As you drive around the country there is a lot of construction. They are getting ready for the 2012 Europe Cup Games. They also have these signs explaining some of the detours. We aren't sure how you are supposed to read these signs while driving in traffic, usually before a Rondo (round about) and trying to figure out what the GPS is telling you. So we took a picture...we still can't figure it out.
Anything different in the picture above?
We drove home late Sunday afternoon and the roads were amazingly easy to drive. Since it was a holiday, there were ZERO trucks on the roads. The drive usually takes 3.5 - 4 hours and that is if you drive rather fast. Today we took it slow (well...within the speed limits) and returned home in just 3 hours. That's it...we will ALWAYS travel on holidays from now on!
SIDE NOTE: As we were leaving the Tarasevich's apartment we happen to see a NAME that caught our attention. 'Balija'...the legacy continues. Amazing how names - especially Elder Balija keeps coming up again and again... and it is ALL GOOD !! We miss our missionaries who have returned home...be good! We love you and expect great things out of you!
