Well what a crazy week it's been, full of plenty fun adventures.
Tuesday we had our Christmas zone conference, which when being out in Kaposvár means a 6am train ride to get to Budapest. But it was so worth it. Our conference started pretty spiritual with some trainings but then the fun started as we went out carolling, had some lunch, had a zone wide talent show, watched "The Little Prince", had a game of White Elephant before finally Santa came to give us all our presents. It was a super fun day, but it ended kind of sad because we ended up missing the last train back to Kaposvár and so we had to spend the night in Buda.
Wednesday consisted of an early morning train back to Kaposvár and then heading out to work trying to share the Christmas spirit with everyone.
Thursday we had District meeting, so we talked all about Christmas and why Christ is important to us in our lives. It was really spiritual and we all had time to reflect on how our knowledge of Christ has influenced us and helped us.
Friday we had exchanges with the other Elders and I got to spend some time with Elder Harris which was great. We were able to visit a few people including an investigator, so we had a really good day together.
Saturday was Christmas eve and as such we weren't allowed to tract or anything which basically ruined all our plans for the day. We tried going streeting for a bit but there was literally no one out on the streets, it was actually a little creepy. After that we went to a members house who fed us some traditional Hungarian Fish soup (bones and all) as well as 2 other whole meals. We were so full but it was sooooo goooood (well maybe not the fish soup, it wasn't bad, but it was just interesting.)
Sunday was great, we had breakfast with the other Elders with all of Elder Harris' family traditions and we opened all of our presents. We then had church before getting to skype and then head over to the senior couples apartment for a wonderful Christmas lunch/dinner with all western foods. It was also sooooo gooood.
Monday was a pretty normal day of proselyting, although it was still a holiday so it was a little strange but it was cool. European Christmas is super long but hey I'm not complaining.
Hope you all had a magical Christmas and have a wonderful new year!
Until 2017

Me with Santa and his uhhh...elves
Found a random pile of snow (it doesn't snow here).
Thought we'd take the opportunity to take a pic when no-one else was around.
