Well after another fun week here in Hungary it's now been 11 months since I've left home. It seems like every week in my emails I'm freaking out about just how fast time is going, but I really can't believe that in a month from now I'll be passing my half way point. People aren't kidding when they say that your mission flies by like nothing.
The interesting part of our week started on Wednesday when we got to head down to Budapest for new missionary training. It was a great meeting and we had a lot of conversations about obedience and how that affects not only us but everyone that we come into contact with (companions, other missionaries, members, investigators, strangers, etc.). It also started snowing while we were in Budapest which was cool, especially because we thought we weren't going to have to deal with it back in good old Kaposvár.
Turns out we were wrong about the snow when on Thursday it actually started snowing here as we headed out to district meeting. It really isn't as fun as it might sound. That night we had english class and one of the people in the class brought her bow and arrows so she could tell us all about her talent of HORSEBACK ARCHERY, which is apparently a pretty common Hungarian sport. I gained a lot of respect for the Hungarians after hearing about that one.
We also had splits this week and I got to work with Elder Gonzalez, who is actually fluent in Hungarian, so that was a way cool experience. We got to visit a few people which all went really well, it's just hard to get them to come out to church, but hopefully we can get that to happen and then they could be ready for baptism in a while. It was also incredibly cold the whole time we had splits, it was like -8 celcius during the day and with wind chill it was down to like -18, so we were definitely coated up but it was still so cold that we felt like we were dying. But we lived, so all's well that ends well I guess.
Yesterday we had our normal sunday church and then when we were tracting we found a young kid who we're hoping could become a new investigator. He was pretty legit and told us to come back super soon. So the work is going pretty decent here in Kaposvár, it's exciting.
Hope you all have fantastic weeks.
May all your wildest dreams come true,
