WARSAW, Poland — After a 10-hour train ride, LDS youth in Poland were able to visit the Freiberg Germany Temple Feb. 17-18.

"We know that service is a good thing to do but baptisms for the dead are a special service for us," said Jihae Song. "When we were in the temple, our minds were totally blocked from the outside world because we know that the temple is a holy place."

During the trip several youth from a small Polish branch were able to participate in their first seminary lessons. They also attended Sunday meetings in Freiberg.
