Debrecen



Sister Christensen just got transferred to Debrecen. It was so fun to see her again. Fortunately for her Sister Hansen is a super nice person so I think she will be happy with her. The Szabo sisters sang for Sacrament meeting. It was so beautiful. I was sitting next to Sister Christensen. She had a good view of them so I asked her to record the song. Probably shouldn't have done it in Sacrament meeting but I wanted a memory of it.

Dinner in Debrecen




We went to dinner with the Gudgells and the Hartwells at the restaurant in our Hotel. They really know how to present the food. It looked so good we had to take a picture. Just so you know -- it tasted as good as it looked.

Lunch in Nyiregyhaza

We took the Elders in Nyiregyhaza to lunch at this really nice Mexican food restaurant. It's always so funny to me to eat Mexican food in a foreign country. I don't know why it just seems odd to me. But it was good -- Jeanie said her enchiladas didn't taste much like enchiladas. And my tacos tasted like there were mashed potatoes in them, but we still had a fun time. Elder Forsythe ( on the end) has been here 4 days. He's Elder Conklin's new companion. Then Elder Payne and Elder Wright are on the opposite end of the table. All of them are super nice young men. It was fun spending some time with them.

Elder Conklin's new suit

This is Elder Conklin's new suit. He shouldn't have worn it yet because it's too light. But I think he was so excited about it that he didn't care. He had it custom made. The lining is red green and white like the Hungarian flag. Several missionaries here have had suits made. I told him to enjoy his one time wearing it in Hungary but then he could wear it as much as he wants when he gets home.

Ricsi's Baptism

We were so happy to see Ricsi get baptized. His father who has only been a member for a few months was able to baptized him. It's so great to see a family come into the church. He has one sister who is not a member but his mother and father and younger sister are all members. So hopefully his other sister will join soon.

Elder Johnson's Birthday



We also did aparment checks for Elder Johnson and Elder Cox. It was Elder Johnson's birthday so I made cupcakes for him. I also brought candles so we could sing to him. He's such a cute young man. I really like him. The other picture is a view of Vesprem where he's serving. It was freezing cold that day.

Elder Abram and Masters

I had to take a picture of this apartment. We went to Elder Abram's and Masters' apartment for apartment checks. I don't know how they live in this. The walls are so bright it would make me crazy. But they said it doesn't bother them.
