Well here we are again at the end of another 9 weeks. As per usual that means that my time with my current companion Elder Terry has come to an end but luckily enough my time in Dunaújváros has not. My new companion is going to be Elder Thomas, who is from my MTC group. I'm really excited, he's from California and he's super hilarious, so we're going to have a great time. Also one of the sisters in my district is staying and getting a new missionary which always makes life a little more fun. So it's going to be a wonderful transfer.
Our week started off a little different than it usually does. Because our zone had 5 baptisms throughout the transfer we were able to win ourselves a zone day from President Szabadkai's challenge. Which meant that the whole zone spent an entire day together in Duna where we played some sports and games, got some delicious lunch and got to watch Moana (or Vaiana as they call it here). It was a super fun day, although we had to organise it which made it a little less fun, but it was nonetheless still great.
Wednesday was nothing too special, just had our apartment inspected and did a bit of finding and teaching, pretty normal.
Thursday started with our final district meeting for the transfer, so we did a thing called "District Conference" where we all prepared a talk (well except for one of the sisters, because she gave a presentation on Kolob and the creation) and then we made the entire meeting like a session of general conference. It was pretty fun. We also did service at the home for disabled people and got cancelled on by our one lesson for the day. Great day.
Friday and Saturday were really fun. We had the Pécs elders come here for splits, which is always great. We also tried one of the weirdest pizzas that I've ever eaten. It was called the "Americano" and had hamburger meat, fries and pickles on it. It was strange to say the least, but not too bad actually.
Sunday was pretty normal, and so was yesterday, until we met with a woman named Izabella. Izabella is an older woman who really loves us but does not care at all about the gospel, she also loves to feed us, a lot. We told her that we couldn't meet with her at her house if there was no male there and so she made us meet her at this restaurant so she could say goodbye to Elder Terry. We at so much food it was ridiculous. Then after she pulls out these two packages and hands them too us. They were just full of random Hungarian items, which were all super cool but it was still really crazy that she was giving us all this stuff. So now I have a couple books about Hungary, some Hungarian CDs and a really cool hand made "House Blessing". She also gave Elder Terry a 5000ft coin in his, which was pretty insane.
Anyway, that was my interesting little week. I hope yours are all great too!
Sok szeretettel,
- McKim Elder
