Hey everyone,
So I recently reflected back on my mission and realized something that is unusual. I have thrown up 3 times on my mission but never once because I was sick... Interesting record huh? The first two times were when I was in Veszprém the land of dreams, and I did the milk challenge twice. The 3 time was this last week when I went on splits and I was with an elder who really likes to exercise and is really good at it. So I told him to prepare something hard and I would do it. So we got up a little early and started to exercise. An hour later I had just finished doing a pretty difficult task when my stomach started hurting really bad... I tried to do the next exercise but my insides started doing some weird things. Ran over to the sink and yeah..... threw up. Well... after someone throws up they always, usually, feel a lot better, so I went back and did the remaining 30 minutes of the workout! It was pretty great! I was only sore for the next 5 days!!! Party.
This week we met with some really cool people. One of the families that we meet with is a part-member family. The father is a less active member who we looked up. He has had 3 other marriages and is now living with his girlfriend and her children. We looked them up a couple weeks ago and since then they have been coming back to church, bringing their children, and last week they told us that they are getting married next month!! The girlfriend was really excited and told us that one of the main reason they are getting married is so he can worthily use his priesthood again! Really cool!
Last Monday after we emailed we went to a family night that we organized for our investigator and she cancelled last minute and so we just went and hung out with members! It was pretty fun.
On Friday we went to a falú called kiskunderozsma. A little information before I continue on with the story. In hungary they right their 1's exactly like that 1. So it isn't just a straight down line but it has a little hook thing on the top. So in Hungary you have to cross all of your 7's so that it won't get confused with the 1s. Well... my companion is determined not to pick up that habit on his mission so when he wrote down the address he wrote down 37 when it really was a hungarian written 31. So we travel forever to get to the place, the street doesn't even have a 37, and we do a little tracting and then go home. We get back and then my companion realizes that he is in Hungary and he needs to do numbers differently! Well.... silly companion.
On Saturday we went and played soccer with a group. One of them is a member and a couple have been investigators! It was really fun. They all have really really dirty mouths, besides the member, but it was still super fun!
My companion bought some trout from the store last week and decided to cook it up. We didn't have plates that were big enough for the trout so we used some palacsinta pans! It was really good!
It was also valentines day this week. One of the sisters in our district described it as a slap-in-the-face day for missionaries. We got some heart stationary from a sister and wrote a love letter to one of the members. He loved it!
I think that is all that happened this week! I hope you all had an amazing week!!
Sok szeretettel:
Biesinger elder
P.S. there is also another interesting Hungarian thing. When they start their letters they don't use a comma like we do "dear so and so," but they use and exclamation mark "dear so and so!". and then at the end they don't do a comma again, but rather a ":" mark "sok szeretettel:". I am not sure if that is 100% all the time but a lot of them do it! Interesting little quirks!
