The Great City of Bialystok.

Members of the Branch in Bialystok- Krzysztof, Elders Davis and Kalinowski, Branch President Libert, Sisters Kuc, Sisters Zoya and Nielson.
President Libert and Sister Zoya after a temple recommend interview and preparing to receive her Patriarchal Blessing while in the Ukraine.
As usual, Pizza on a Saturday night with Elders Crittenden, Davis and Kalinowski.
It was a cool 4 degrees Frahenheit outside tonight.
Part of the Rynek at night.
An Ice Rink they had built a few days before. Seems pretty easy, throw down some water and in a few hours its ready to skate on. This was a pretty busy place.
  The Christmas decorations were just being put up. The city Centrums are beautiful this time of year.
Early Sunday morning, the first day in about a week where the sun was trying to come out. It was quiet and just beautiful. The sidewalks are semi cleaned off. This will be interesting to see these walkways in a couple of months, with more snow.
More of the shops along the Rynek.



This sidewalk was actually pretty well taken care of. Just enough to get by.
One of the Churches as we were leaving Bialystok on our way home.
One of the many little Churches in a little village. Its about 6 degrees outside and the wind in blowing pretty hard.
The snow is blowing hard across these two lanes roads and we are told to be careful of black ice.
With all the warnings, you still see this all the time- the truck on the left is passing on two solid lines, on a two lane road and going about 90 Kilometers in a 70 Kilometer zone, wind blowing hard, 4 degrees outside with traffic coming in the opposite direction. We really expected to see an accident. As usual, everyone just crowds around and creates a third lane and you survive.
