Well we're already into another year and I'll get to spend this entire one as a missionary! It's crazy to think that I'm almost at half way now but this has just given me time to think back on the time I've had here so far and what I can do to be even more effective in the year and a bit to come that I have left.
Our week was interesting because all of our investigators basically just said "come back after the holidays" so we had a bunch of time to go finding this week. People were a lot nicer to us than usual and that was evident by the record 4 let-ins that our district had this week. I'll have to be honest the other elders got 3 and we only got 1 but it was still a pretty crazy week in terms of finding success. Our let in was with some former investigators whose door we happened to knock on while tracting in basically the nicest part of Kaposvár and we should be going back there this upcoming week which should be great. I heard that a lot of other missions had early curfews for new years eve, but I was glad that we didn't because we knocked on their door at around 5pm on new years eve, otherwise we may never have met them.
Speaking of which, Hungarian new years eve was an interesting experience. Apparently fireworks are completely legal here, so they were being shot off all day starting from like 4 in the afternoon and we still heard plenty of them well into sunday night. They were also 10 minutes late with the countdown and fireworks display.
Other than that we just met with some members this week and had some good old Hungarian food. We also got to watch the Christmas devotional in Hungarian with one of the members so that was fun too.
This is going to be a pretty crazy week coming up, so we're pretty excited and hope everything goes well.
Hope you all have a great week and year and may all your resolutions make it past January!
