Proud father

Jó olvasást kívánok!

This week was super hectic, I feel like I pretty much did no missionary work because we just had meetings and had to go do residency stuff pretty much the whole week, it was pretty insane, but still a great week.

  For P-day firstly I went and did a bit of shopping, got myself some new shoes because I already trashed the other ones that I bought a couple of months ago. I guess we're just doing too much tracting over here or something. We also found sweet ties in a store that were 2 for 390 Ft which is like $1.50, so our whole district got some sweet ties. We then decided to head out on a nice walk up Gellert Hegy, which is a big hill with a cool statue thing at the top. We then started our splits with Érd, where I was with Elder Robinson which left our two sons together all alone in Buda. But despite not speaking much Hungarian they were able to talk to a woman at her door for 20 minutes about the Book of Mormon and get her phone number. We're going back to visit her tomorrow, so I have a testimony that the gift of tongues is real.
  On tuesday I went out with Elder Robinson to visit this guy named Róbi, who is basically a 75 year old man who used to be jacked out of his mind. He still benches every day even at 75. He made us some paprikás csirke and showed us his little shack in his back yard where he makes kolbász (sausage) that he sells around the world. We were also talking to a guy later on when a woman came out and started yelling at us telling us that we were wrong because she talks face to face with the Lord every night and visits with the spirit all the time. It was a weird conversation so we just bore our testimonies and left.
  Wednesday we had new missionary training, which was a super cool experience. It was a little longer than we thought it was going to be (3 hours) but it was really fun, especially doing role plays of how to deal with disobedient companions. We also got pizza after which is always nice.
  Thursday was just dealing with getting everything ready to get Elder Allred registered in the country and then teaching english class. I also got a sweet scarf as we were coming back to Buda.
  Friday we had to actually go to the Hivatal (government office thing, I don't know the word in English) and we waited for a while, but everything ended up being successful which was nice. We then had district meeting and did a bit of tracting.
  Saturday we ventured out into the cold rain to try and look some people up and do some tracting. But basically no one was home, because that's basically what happens with Hungarians and rain apparently. Then we had a fireside with Elder Leimer who is an Area seventy, it was way good, he talked a lot about missionary work and gave some cool promises to us.
  Sunday was pretty normal, besides the fact that it was fast sunday, good day though.

Well I hope that you're weeks are all wonderful and hopefully much warmer than mine are.

Sok szeretettel,
- McKim Elder

Random dog we found that is just ridiculous (it's pretty huge)
