Elder Lapot Arrives in the Mission Field!

Heavenly Father is really blessing our mission...He has just sent us another Polish speaking Elder! Our native Polish speakers are such a blessing to the work here.

This is Elder Lapot from Nova Scotia, Canada. He was actually born in Krakow, Poland; and he has been a member of the church for a year and a half.

After spending 3 weeks at the MTC (Mission Training Center) in Provo, Elder Lapot has arrived--on time and no lost baggage! His testimony is strong and he is anxious to bring the gospel to his home land. Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared as I usually am to serve dinner right when we got home from the airport. No worries! I had plenty of help in the kitchen. Elder Lapot with the Office Elders, Murphey and Sheridan.


The Assistants, Elders Eastman and Garrett joined us, and we had a great time getting to know Elder Lapot.

Dessert was hit! Yes, Dane, it's your favorite dessert with a Polish twist!

What a wonderful addition Elder Lapot will be to our mission. He is a great young man who is ready to work and give his 'all' to invite others to come unto Christ. Welcome! We love you, and President Nielson and I are excited to serve along with you in this beautiful country. (Above L to R): Elder Lapot with 4 new 'brothers'...Elders Garrett, Sheridan, Eastman and Murphey.

Where will Elder Lapot be serving?? You'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out!

  1. I'm Elder Eastman's sister, Brooke. It is so great to check your blog and see pictures of my brother (he is always so excited in your pics. :) ) and the wonderful country of Poland. Your blog, the pictures, and his letters all help us visualize and understand his mission a little better. Thank you for your sharing.
