Szeged, The city of dreams.

Jó napot kívánok nektek!
Well it's a new week, a new transfer, in a new city with a new companion. It's been a week packed full of craziness, but it's been great.
  Tuesday marked the end of my time in Kaposvár and we sent of that wonderful little city by going out to dinner at a super nice burger place with our favourite senior couple the Petersons, who are going home this week. The burger was huge and super delicious, no regrets at all.
  I didn't realise the struggle that everyone else faces on transfer morning until this week, when I had to haul all of my stuff through the whole of Kaposvár to get it on a train at 6:20 in the morning. We then had a fun final 3 hour train ride together as a district before splitting off as we all headed to our new areas. We then had another fun 3 hour train ride with a completely different district as we headed back to Szeged, where I met my new companion and the funniest man in the world, Elder Hughes.
  It doesn't matter where you are, Thursdays will always be the same here in the Hungary Budapest mission, district meeting and english class, still fun though no matter where you are.
  Friday was another early rising as Elder Hughes and I had to head back up to Budapest for MLC, which is basically just a super long training for all of the zone leaders and sister training leaders that we have once a month. It was a really good training, it just ended up being 5 hours long instead of the planned 3. We also got to come back and experience the end of our branchs retro themed farsang party. All round interesting but fun experience.
  Saturday was pretty normal which was nice, we finally got to meet with some people including an inactive member who is now a JW and basically just tried to convert us for 20 minutes. We also had to start our planning for our zone training that we're giving this week and that pretty much filled the rest of our weekend. That is besides church of course, it was super weird going back to a 3 hour block after being a Kaposvár but it was a good time and the members here are really cool. Szeged houses Hungary's best university (we're actually emailing in it right now) and so a whole bunch of the members are actually young people which is a cool change.
That's my really long not that interesting update for this week.
Hope everyone has a great week!
