Greeting the members at the New Warsaw ll Branch Chapel are Elders Stohel and Darowski. When we arrived in Poland there were three real estate/building issues that needed to be resolved. The Mission Home (purchased), the Mission Office (moved), and the third was the location of the Warsaw ll Branch. President Nielson along with Andre Lutter and Peter Vernes (from Frankfurt) and Michael Isaacs, found this location in September. There were three different sites. This one seemed to feel right. The attorneys worked on the agreement for months. Some of the owners lived in England, others in Poland and they owned parts of the building. The size was negotiated, the rooms, the parking, the terms, the amount, etc.. It was on, then canceled, then on again... In the meantime, the lease on the current site had expired; and we were down to the wire. On the signature day, as always, someone else wanted this location; so we had to hurry and negotate certain issues. The day of the signing, the four partners and President Nielson met in the foyer of the building. Five large stacks of documents were present. All followed each other around the room signing and initialing each page of these endless stacks of paper. But the deal was closed. This little story was an eight page journal entry for President Nielson with details. As he has told me, the Lord makes these things happen or not. Countless events happened to have all three real estates deals come together.
This is looking at the new chapel. For those who have been in the previous Warsaw ll chapel, you will note there is no pillar you need to look around anymore (and no more leaky roof!) It is an open chapel. Large windows to your right add cheery light --with a large park/playground to view. On the opposite side of the building is enough room to grow or plan for programs to use such as: YSA, Family History, Offices, etc.
The Jarosz family (from Warsaw 1 Branch). Bro. Jarosz, a District Council member, was on assignment from District President Hapgood to speak. He and his family were the first speakers in the new Warsaw II chapel.
After the 3-hour block the members gathered for a surprise get-together for one of the members of the branch.
