Marty & Karis' trip to Hungary

This is right after Marty and Karis arrived. They both looked great. I don't know how they were able to travel for 20 hours and still look so good. But it was so fun to have them come.

Little Prince

One of our Gofri Est activities we read " The Little Prince" and then talked about it. It's a great book with alot of insight about life and people. Afterwards we colored and decorated crowns to remind us of our potential to become Kings and Queens as children of God. As you can see not many participated in that part of the activity but those that did had a good time. I just had several Burger King crowns. So they covered the logo and decorated the crowns. I thought it was super fun and a good reminder of the purpose of the evening.

Missionary Conference with Elder Christofferson

Here is a picture of a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. I was able to meet and talk to Elder Christofferson. It was an amazing experience. He is such a genuinely nice man. He gave us great counsel and advice. We were so lucky to have him come speak to us. Immediately after our Conference with him, we took a Mission picture. Of course in 6 weeks this picture will change but it was fun to get all of us together for a picture.

Beardos

I wanted to get a group picture of all the missionaries with their beardos but it was nearly impossible to do. So here's just a few of them. Elder Saunders ended up with the most unusual beardo because he chose a very fluffy yarn. Elder Johnson is demonstrating his the best because he has the beanie on with it to hold it in place. This was a fun thing to do. I ended up making about 10. There would have been more but I told them to quit telling other missionaries about the idea. :)

Nagykaniza

President Baughman decided to open a new area in Nagykaniza. This is a picture of the 4 missionaries who are serving there. Elder Wanlass, Vasquez, Headrick and Rosen. We went to help them get their apartment and a place for English Class. Super young men - They are very positive and hard-working. I'm sure they will do a great job there.

YSA Committee

We had a fun weekend planning for our YSA Conference. A few of the Young Adults who live in other countries spent the night and went to church with us. Then after church they came over for lunch. The young men in the picture are Zoli, Adrian, Vasek and Janos. The young women are Eni and Ewa. They are from Poland, Czech Republic, Romania and Hungary. It's hard to tell from the picture but Adrian( long sleeved white shirt) has huge arms. He says he and his cousin enjoy working out. So they are going to " take care " of any problems we might have. :) It was so funny when he offered his services to us. We are having a great time with them.

Speaking assignment in Pápa

We had a speaking assignment in Pápa. I was sitting by this woman with a darling little boy. I wanted to talk to him but of course I don't speak enough Hungarian. Then I noticed she was showing him books in German. Perfect -- so I say to her "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" It was wonderful. It's so fun when you are able to talk to the members. The other picture is Istvan. He translated our talks for us. He speaks great English. It's a very nice little Branch. I enjoy going there. The members are so nice to us.
