Well it's been another crazy week full of adventures in the wonderful city of Budapest.
On Monday we spent our P-day in a little Falu a bit outside of Budapest where we went bowling in what the other Elders made sound like a bowling alley, but it just turned out to be this big shed with two bowling lanes in it, still super fun though. Then we begun our exchanges with our zone leaders where despite tracting at 8:30 at night, we found some of the nicest people that I've met in Hungary so far.
Tuesday continued our exchange where we had one of probably the most successful finding days that I've had, we just met so many cool people who were willing to talk to us and Elder Roberts even gave a Book of Mormon to a lady while she was working in a money changing booth, super cool day.
Wednesday gave us our first real lesson of the transfer and it was a little hard for Elder Stringham and I with our limited Hungarian, but we got a lot of help from the member we brought with us so in the end it went pretty well, I think.
Thursdays are pretty hectic because we have to head out to another city called Érd in the morning for district meeting, come back to work and to go to our missionary meeting, then head back out to Érd so that we can teach English class out there, so things are super crazy but also pretty fun.
Friday we had another set of exchanges but this time with the Elders in Érd, which meant that we had to down there once again. But I was able to spend the day working with Elder Robinson who was my MTC companion, so it was kind of crazy actually getting to do real missionary work in the field together, but we worked together really well and we were able to have a really solid finding day.
Saturday we got to watch the kulturális ünnepség (or cultural celebration) for the rededication of the Freiberg temple because we're in that temple district, so that was super cool but it was all in German so not the easiest to understand but they had a few Hungarian things in there which was cool. They even had all the youth from Hungary go to Germany to participate.
Then sunday was the actual rededication of the Freiberg temple. I never really thought that I'd witness a temple dedication on my mission, but it turns out I get to see two. It was really good though, even though it was in Hungarian and so not super easy to understand it was really cool to be a part of and to see how much this temple means not only to the German people but also to the Hungarians for who it's their closest and most accessible temple. It made it even cooler to get to see Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar speaking in German too.
So that was basically my week, full of a bit of everything I guess.
Hope you all have a wonderful week.
Szeretlek benneteket!
