The YSA's planned a missionary activity at the Mission Home this weekend....a mini-mini mission! They arrived Friday night at 18:00 for the traditional 'welcome to the mission' dinner. Which was followed by...
a 'welcome to the mission' talk by President Nielson. He also introduced our speakers for the special missionary fireside we had.
Karina from the Warsaw I branch talked about the mission she served in St. Petersburg, Russia; and
Ellie, from Warsaw ll branch, told of her experiences serving in Poland on a mission. Both these returned missionaries did a great job. Thank you Sisters! Following mission rules, lights were out at 22:30. 
The next morning, Elder and Sister Richards (the YSA Leaders for Warsaw---and our Office Couple---joined the YSA's for breakfast. 
President took his 'new missionaries' through the Little White Handbook and reviewed some points in Preach My Gospel. So....let's meet the YSA missionaries....
Nasa!! Yes, that is snow behind us....it snowed last night.
Kamilla!
Alex!
and Dominik!
The whole group! Just after this picture was taken, our full-time missionaries showed up to pick up their 'trainees'. The first thing they did with their companions was 'companion planning and study'.
Elders Waits and Kalinowski studying Preach My Gospel with Dominik.
Our full-time Sisters arrived at the Mission Home and everyone waited to see who was going to be paired with who.
Sister Leppanen (Warsaw II Branch) and Nasa planning out their day.
Alex and Sister Stay (Warsaw I) studying for the lessons they had lined up today.
Our threesome of Sisters...Kamilla, Sister Allen (Warsaw II) and Sister McAdams (WarsawI) were busy finding the right scriptures to go with their Investigator lessons. And it was time to go!!!
Books packed, umbrella in hand these Elders (Waits, Kalinowski, and Dominik) are ready for anything.
It was a very cold day but Sisters Kamilla, Allen and McAdams are well protected.
Nasa, who was so excited to go 'white boarding', and Sister Leppanen.
And finally Alex and Sister Stay are ready to find that 'special investigator' that is ready for the gospel. And what about President and I????
As our missionaries headed out the door...so did we. Packed and ready to go, we are driving first to Kielce for a baptism and then to Katowice for 2 more! We have everything timed out perfectly. Hope the weather cooperates! Stay tuned for info on the great baptisms we will be attending today!

We love reading you blog. Thanks for the great pictures and information about the members and the missionary work in Poland. We are so happy to see Nasa and Dominik as missionaries. Kent & Karen Bulkley
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sight! I was a sister missionary in Berlin with Pres. Kopishke and served in the Institute for a few months. Those European YSAs are the best!!
