November 22: Crazy Week

Hi everyone!

This week has been kind of crazy. We had a training in Budapest on Tuesday so we had to tract at 8 in the morning so we could get everything done because of how late we would be getting home. Luckily no one was getting mad at us and we were able to talk to a couple people. 

Thursday we had splits in another city called "Tatabánya". I was companions with a new missionary (we don't call them greenies anymore). It went better than I thought it would. We were able to talk to people and I was able to understand most of what they were saying and I could speak back to them. But it was a stressful couple days because neither of us spoke Hungarian! 

We had 5 member presents this week. That means that we had 5 meetings with an investigator and that a member was there. In Pápa we usually get 1 or 2. This week has been insane with work!! 

On Sunday we had district conference (because we are not in a stake). We left at 7 and got back at 5. Long day! But I really enjoy those kinds of days!

My companion and I have been cooking a lot more. This week we made Egg strada/ breakfast strada. It turned out AMAZING!! It was super good. But this upcoming week we are going to be filling all of our free time up with cooking, cause it is thanksgiving and we are having a district meeting feast because it is scheduled on the same day!! Should be super good! There is also a NATO base in Pápa (weird, I know!) and there is a American family that are members , so we got invited to go to the celebration for a little while on Friday. They will be having real american things shipped in so we can have a taste of home... Kind of.

This morning my comp and I were throwing a Frisbee in the alley by our apartment. The Frisbee accidentally got stuck on top of a ledge. I offered to let my comp stand on my shoulders and just grab it, but he didn't want to "break my back" and so he taped some stuff together and tried to get it down. After a while it finally worked. But I got some good pictures and a fun video showing what he did!

Pictures: cool Hungarian embroidery, The picture of a family we are teaching (father is strong catholic, son wants to be baptized but wants to have his fathers blessing, mother is a member), one of the nénis we teach binds books and she is working on this bible that was printed in 1918... that is a little older than me!!

Well... Besides getting a haircut I think that that is all that I did this week!!

Good luck everyone with everything in your lives!!
