Well another crazy week has passed here among the wonderful Hungarian people. One of the craziest of which is the fact that this week marked one whole year since I stepped on a plane and left my home country and everyone in it, as well as one more year that I get to spend in the service of God and these great people.
Our week started with the first of two adventures. We had to head up to a city called Dunaújváros (New Danube city) for exchanges with our zone leaders. This gave us approximately just over 3 hours to sit around on 3 different trains to make the trip there. Our time in Duna was really fun though and we were able to learn a lot from our time with the zone leaders. Although our exchange ended on wednesday with us running to the train station to make sure we didn't get stuck in Duna for another night, but it was fine because we had another 3 hours of train rides to catch our breath.
Thursday was the big day of my one year mark on my mission. I had some great plans with a really cool district meeting and meeting with a member who always feeds us delicious food as well as english class, but I ended up getting sick and couldn't really do anything all day. It did give me a lot of time to think about my time on my mission and what I want to achieve in my next year though, so it was still fun. Oh yeah, also burnt a shirt, which was pretty cool.
On Friday we got to travel down to the promised land of Pécs for our interviews with President Szabadkai. It was super cool because I've wanted to see Pécs my entire mission because it's meant to be one of the prettiest cities and it's also the home of President and Sister Szabadkai. I definitely understood why people say it's one of the prettiest cities, it's seriously incredible, I'd serve there in a heartbeat. In terms of interviews nothing too interesting happened though, just good chats with President Szabadkai.
Saturday we had a cool Music night in our branch, so there were people singing and reading poems and stuff, everyone loved it. I know what you're all thinking "Did you perform anything?" unfortunately the answer is yes and there is a video, I'm just not sure the world is ready for that right now.
Sunday I also had to give a surprise baptismal interview for the other elders investigator, Dávid. He passed and so he's all ready to be baptised on the 25th which is super exciting.
Well this upcoming week is the last one of the transfer, so the next time I email will be Tuesday right after I get my next transfer call. So I guess we'll all just wait and see what happens to me for the next 9 weeks.
Sok szeretettel,
McKim Elder
