Elder Teixeira is a counselor in our Area Presidency and a member of the First Quorum of Seventy. We picked up he and his wife Tuesday night and spent the next 3 days with them. We had a wonderful and enlightening mission tour with these tremendous servants. The mission learned so much and if we apply if will help us bring more people into the gospel.And where did this tour start???
KATOWICE....the 'skyline' gives it away! These power plants are everywhere; but it was actually a beautiful day.
And of course more bridges. We take pictures of these but they are so much more colorful and interesting than the photos show. Bridges are now a part of my life... as we travel to the Saints in Poland!

A BIG THANK to Sister Austin who did so much work in getting the lunch together...it was great!

These were great conferences and it was so wonderful to see all of the missionaries again.
We then took the Teixeiras to the airport, packed again and headed to Zgorzeloc (Gorlitz on the German side) to a CCM meeting with Elder Schutze. Only an 8 hour drive that starts Saturday morning. Wroclaw on Sunday and District Meeting Monday and back to Warsaw when Elder Lapot arrives from the MTC on Tuesday. Departing couples on Wednesday, Zone Leader council on Thursday and we start over...
