This week we had 2 young women come visit who became part of our lives in Poland...Aleks(center)-a Polish convert and Laurel(right)-one of the missionaries who taught her.
One of OUR favorite places to take visitors is 'Top of the Block'. Never heard of it? It's the view from the top of our building, 20 Lincoln Center. It's stunning in the day...
as well as in the night!
We also had a wonderful dinner at one of our favorite corner restaurants. We have met a Romania young man, a waiter there, who actually talked to missionaries in his native country. Aleks was able to talk to him in Romanian where she served a mission. Now they are social media friends!
Another highlight of their trip...Taking Laurel and Aleks to the Jamaica 1st Branch in Jamaica Queens.
It was a perfect Sunday to have them visit as it was Missionary Sunday! They were able to help role play in the combined meeting and share their testimonies in Primary. They were a great 'visual aide' in showing the blessings of being a missionary! Now it is off to JFK airport where they will go their separate ways...Laurel to San Francisco and Aleks back to BYU Provo. It was great having them here and showing them this city we have grown to love and of course, the wonderful temple here.
