We look forward to meeting
with our Senior Couples for training in Lodz.
Six of us departed from the Mission Home Friday
morning. Elder and Sister Jensen along with Elder and Sister Hutchinson
came and picked us up. President was thankful Elder Jensen drove.
It is hard to see, but the back of the "transporter" was completely
loaded with supplies for our various cities.
We started on time
with Elders and Sisters Jensen, Reed, Hutchinson, Tufts, Durrant, Sheley and
Lloyds. The weather has been so wonderful all week; but unfortunately
today it started to rain. It takes more than rain and cold to dampen the
spirits of these great Senior Missionaries, though!
Instruction started
with President Nielson then each Senior Couple took time to teach, inspire and
share ideas of what they were doing in their specific areas and assignments.
Elder and Sister
Lloyd helped out tremendously as this training was held in Lodz where they
serve. Sister Lloyd is explaining how to drive to our restaurant Friday
evening following a busy afternoon. It is not an easy task 'to caravan' during
rush hour traffic and not get lost. But all our Seniors did well!
Once we all arrived,
and found parking spots, we enjoyed a wonderful evening and dinner just
visiting and getting better acquainted.

It is always fun to see who is going to take pictures. Sister Nielson has to take
pictures wherever she goes, but President is going to take them tonight.
That doesn't look very safe!!
Eating breakfast at the hotel before going to
the church for more instruction.

I have had since coming to Poland.
