Zone Conferences

These missionaries did the musical number during Zone Conference. I thought their attire was very clever. They sang a few Patriotic songs. It was very fun even though a few missionaries in our mission aren't from America.

Eger

This is a view from the top of the hill in Eger. It is a beautiful city. We didn't get to stay very long but we enjoyed our brief visit.

Eger

After visiting the Branch in Nyiregyhaza we went to the Branch in Eger. This is one of the Churches in Eger. We weren't really sure if it's a Catholic church or not but it is one of the main religions in Hungary. It was massive and very beautiful. Eger is a beautiful little city.

Nyiregyhaza

After church we found some benches and stopped along the street to eat our lunch. Wendy and Bob had a great time trying to get the pigeons to eat some of their bread. There are no senior missionaries serving in this city right now. Often we eat lunch with the senior missionaries when we go on speaking assignments. So this time we just brought our own lunch and shared it with the pigeons.

Nyiregyhaza

We went on a speaking assignment with the Bagozzis to Nyiregyhaza. Elder Crandall and Elder Lindelof are serving there. Eszter is the redhead in the background. She speaks English very well so she was our translator. This branch was very small but the people were so nice. Elder Crandall is the one who asked me to play the piano and then changed his mind. Eszter was just called to be the YW Pres. She was so excited. There are 4 YW in their Branch. The Branch was very small but they were so happy to see us. We had a great time visiting them.

Londa Chase

This is my new companion getting introduced at Gofri Est. As you can see she's tiny. She's from Hawaii. I really like her. She is here on a temporary assignment until my permanent companion comes. She has been serving in Germany at another YA Center. Even though she's new to Hungary, she has had alot of experience in Germany that has been very helpful here. She has 9 children so cooking for large crowds comes natural to her. We are having a good time.

Szandra Boleska's Homecoming

This is a girl from Hungary who recently returned home from her mission. We had a big party for her on a Gofri Est in May. One of the members brought a chocolate cake. We found out later it had alcohol in it. There were also cherries in it that had been soaked in some kind of alcohol. One of the missionaries told me about the cake. I told him we weren't going to say anything. It was nice of this sister to bring the cake and we were just going to appreciate her thoughtfulness. My companion, bless her heart, just said " well everyone will just be a little happier on their way home tonight." I loved it. I thought it was a great response.
