Happy times...

Hellosztok!

This week has just flown by super quick and it's crazy that it's already time to send another email, we had a really good week though with a lot of cool little miracles happening.

  So basically Márk is just one of my favourite people to teach in the entire world, he's just such a pleasure. He's progressing super well and he just loves everything that we teach him. We really only had the commandments left to teach him before his baptism, so this week meant my first real times teaching both the law of tithing and chastity. He seriously loved both of them though and he's super excited. He's also becoming such good friends will all the members here and he loves them all, it's so great. For those of you who will be at my Home coming talk I hope you are excited to hear about Márk because he's seriously been such a huge blessing to us and so he's probably going to be half of my talk.

  We had two sets of exchanges this week, one with the elders from Kecskemét and another with the elders here. There were some good fun meeting with a few crazy people, walking out in the sun, almost getting stung by the HUGEST wasp I've ever seen in my life (seriously this thing was like 2 inches long, it died on the floor next to us for like an hour, it was so gross) and catching up with some old friends.

  We had a really cool experience this week with a couple named István and Mónika that we've been meeting with a little. So István is a less active member and is living with his girlfriend Mónika out in a little village just outside of Szeged and we visit them occassionally with the senior couple from Békéscsaba. A few things happened and a lot of little miracles that led up to this but we ended up meeting with them on Wednesday night and had a super good meeting with them. Afterwards Mónika said that she would love to start taking the lessons and learn more about us and then on Sunday they even came to church, Istváns first time in years something that was really hard for him, but the members welcomed them like an old friend and they really enjoyed being there, so hopefully we'll see more progress with them in the future. 

  We also got roped in to helping the branch organise a family night on Saturday and we kind of thought it was only going to be like 10 people that would end up coming but when we got started there ended up being probably around 30ish people including a bunch of non-members, so it went pretty well and it was a lot of fun. I even got to do some stick-pull against Márk.

Hope everything is going fine and dandy in all your lives!

Szervusztok!

I've been terrible at taking pictures recently, but here is a picture of when they shut down the main brigde in Szeged this week to have a huge festival. I ate a HUGE Kürtös kalács (chimney cake) after I took this, it was great.
