The Siple's: Poland trip (March 2010)

Here are some pictures of our trip to Poland on March. We stayed at the Elim Christian Center, which is a wonderful place. We did service projects and also had lots of fun... enjoy

The Elim Center is actually an old castle the years ago 4 missionary families transformed into a place where they help the needed. The castle runs through donations and help kids in the community and also unemployed people. We stay 3 days and help sort some clothes and also we did some painting.

This is the aparment where we stay:

The Elim Center is close to a small city called Boleslawiec which is famous for their Polish pottery. This city exports most of the polish pottery that you see in the States. I'm going back for some serious shopping before we leave Germany :)

We decided that we were going to find a church in Poland, the closest one was almost 2 hours away from where we were, but we went. It was a little bit difficult to find, but we found it ... see the small black square ?

We got there on time, It was a really small room with 15 people including us. They only have a branch president and the missionaries are the ones who give the talks on Sundays, so you can imagine how many talks this missionaries have given in their missions. The 2 missionaries we met were from Utah and translated the service for us, they were so happy so see us and we also met a sister missionary from Utah. The members where so nice, even though we couldn't communicate we felt their love and excitement for having visitors.
