Sister Bagozzi and Sister Hudspeth

Since we had our YA New Year's Eve Party on Friday night we were still able to have our own New Year's Eve party with the missionaries on December 31st. Sister Bagozzi is always a good sport. Here she is trying on Sister Hudspeth's mask for the evening.

New Year's Eve Party

Of course no party would be complete without food. We had plenty of that. We tried to get everyone together for a picture but of course it was hard to get them all together. We think about 80 people came to the party so we were happy with that.

One of the games they played was an obstacle course. They had all kinds of things in the way including people. I'm always amazed at how much fun they have with simple games. It was hysterical watching people get in the way and stay in one position for several minutes while others manuvered around them. Very fun game.

As part of the decorations for the New Year's Eve Party, they cut out figures of people dancing. It looked really cool. Then they made confetti out of the paper and wrote the words " Boldog Uj Evet" with them. I thought it was a very clever idea.

Our New Year's Eve Party was alot of fun. The best part was we had many YA help us get ready for it. They helped with food, decorations and games. The girls are making Pogacas. They are small Hungarian rolls with cheese on top. They are very tasty.

Elder Johnson and Elder Olsen

These are two of my favorite Elders. Elder Johnson and Elder Olsen. Elder Johnson served in the office as one of the secretaries. He didn't like decorating which was sad because we had a lot of parties therefore lots of decorating. But he always had a good attitude and was so fun to work with. Elder Olsen was lots of help with the loom hats and scarves. His mom taught him to knit and crochet so he was so helpful with that project. He always had good advice about which yarn to use. I'm going to miss them.

New Group of Missionaries

When a new group of missionaries come to Hungary, Sister Baughman serves them dinner in their apartment. This time there was a large group so we helped her with the dinner. They are a super group of missionaries. They are excited to be here and ready to get to work. The Assistants are at the front of the table - the rest had only been here for a few hours. It was fun to get to meet all of them before they left for their assigned areas.
