How can we be in 2 places at one time??? Easy, split up! And that's what we did!

Ross and Jean Richards, dear friends from Las Vegas, have finally arrived here in Poland. We have served together in ward, stake and temple callings. I had anticipated a quiet dinner for 4 at the mission home to catch up on all the news; BUT.....here's how it went......let's go back to the airport.....
The plane coming from London is late....as usual....Sister Richards, as always, is leading the way "power-walking" out to the airport waiting area. She is ready to serve.
Elder Richards brings years of dedication and wisdom into the mission field.

 We are thrilled that the Richards have been called to serve in this great country of Poland. But wait...where am I in this picture? I am at the mission home hosting a Single Adult Fireside for the Warsaw District.
District President Hapgood gave a wonderful presentation on the Book of Mormon. Helping him with translation for the non-polish speakers in the group is Brother Kodym.

President Nielson and the Richards showed up towards the end of the fireside and were introduced to many of the people they would be working with here on the mission.
 Of course, no Fireside is complete until the refreshments are passed out and the mingling begins. Barbara, Monika, Anja, and Karina are enjoying the apple crisp dessert.
At any Mormon function, there is always a crew in the kitchen......Some of our great Senior Sisters: Sisters Richard, Harding and Briggs. It was a great night and it had been so nice to get to know the members in Poland a little better. After everyone left and I had finished the last dish in the kitchen, I heard the SKYPE ring on my computer. Much to my surprise when I clicked on the button......there was DARTH VADAR himself (breathing deeply) glaring at me!!!!

 No worries, Grandma!!! It's just 'DAX Vader'......even though he is only 2, he stays 'in character' most of the day. WHAT A PERFECT ENDING TO A PERFECT DAY!!!! To all my friends...."Serve a mission! It is truly the best time in life!" We love you!
