Üdvözlöm benneteket!
So first of all this has been a really long week, not because anything hard happened, just because it was 9 days long. Basically Hungary had this holiday yesterday called "Mindenszentek napja" (All saints day or Day of the Dead) where everyone goes to cemetaries and lays candles and remembers the dead, so they closed everything for monday and tuesday.
This week has been really cool. On monday we headed over to the Duna as a district and showed our new missionaries some of the great sights of this wonderful city. We also went to the big market (that is a literal translation of its name) which was cool. After that we got to meet with a super cool family for Family Home Evening, who gave us Elder Allred's first real Hungarian meal, paprikás csirke.
Tuesday we also got to meet with a really cool family who had a bunch of young kids, the had SO MUCH ENERGY! It was so insane, but it was a lot of fun, even got some drawings and a little handbook in Hungarian about how to keep fish from it.
Wednesday we had splits, which was super weird because it was my first time being a senior companion on splits, nothing that interesting happened but it was good fun.
Thursday was Zone trainging, where we talked about the importance of Baptism and confirmation and how to work more effectively to those as goals for our investigators.
Friday we were going to have our one teaching with an investigator for the week, but she cancelled 20 minutes before the lesson, szegény, but what can you do, there's always next week.
Saturday was a day that we had been getting hyped up for for weeks now, we were having our "Ismerd meg a mormonokat" este (meet the mormons night), where all the members were meant to be trying to bring a friend to watch the moving and then have some food afterwards. Unfortunately only one member actually brought a friend, but it was still a really good night and the food was way good!
Sunday and monday were pretty average days, but tuesday is where it got interesting. Firstly we went to visit János, the man who we weren't sure if we were going to keep teaching, but we actually had a really solid teaching with him and it seems like he wants to progress, so that's way cool. Then we got to go to a cemetary so we could see the "celebrations" for the day of the dead thing. It was really cool and actually a really spiritual experience, it made me really grateful to have the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and my ability to live my love ones again eternally after this life.
This week is going to be short but jam packed so I'm excited and hope you will all enjoy yours as much as I will mine. :)
