Sorry I didnt email yesterday. I forgot to tell you last week that we are having 'mini' transfers this week so our p day got changed to today. 10 weeks is a long time for a transfer and some people are leaving during the middle of the transfer because it is no longer 6 week transfers. We were a little worried about transfer calls but we are both staying together in Nyíregyháza!!!! Wahoo! We are getting one new elder here and Elder Judd is going.

That is hilarious about mom and dad getting the senior citizen discount. haha! Hey, if you guys come over here, you can ride on the trains for free!!!! and at least you got the food cheaper.

I am glad that Julie is doing better and got to go home. That just sounds so painful! I hope she heals fast!

This week has been really good. We have still been meeting with A and it has been going SO well! He is awesome! I dont know if I told you this but he is from Africa and it has just been a totally different experience teaching him because although he has lived in Europe for a long time, he is not european. He is doing so good! He said a prayer for the first time this past week and it was so simple but you really could feel the spirit so strong just from the simple words. I love being able to hear people pray for the first time. God really is so aware of us! All the ward members Love him too and have been answering all his questions and have been so helpful to come to his programs. It has helped us so much!!!

Also this week we met with K and her adorable son L. I love them!!!! i dont know if I have said very much about her, but when I came here at the beginning of the transfer they were going to stop meeting with her because she wasnt keeping her commitments. We decided to give her some 'question of the souls' that she could find out of the BOM and it has totally just changed her. We met with her and she had read almost every single one of the chapters and told us what she learned and she had TONS of questions for us. She said that everytime she meets with us and everytime she reads from the BOM she feels something but she cant describe what it is and it helps her to feel better. She is thinking about baptism and thinks she wants to be baptized. The only thing is that she is from Romania and they will be going back to Romania in a few weeks :(

This week we also got to watch some of the talks from general conference in ENGLISH! Which was a huge blessing! I love general conference! It felt so good to listen to the apostles and the prophet. While I was watching it, I realized that the most important thing that I need to be doing right now is to love the Lord with all my heart, mind and strength. It was just like an answer to a prayer that I didnt realize I had. As I have tried to focus more on loving the Lord, my love for other has grown so much. Yesterday we went streeting and talked to this lady. She was atheist and was not very friendly to us when we first started talking to her. But as we started talking to her and listening to her, I just saw this soft change come over her. By the end of us talking to her she just told us that maybe their really was a God and then she just looked at us and said that she had never met anyone like us before. She said that she could tell we were different because of something in our eyes. She said there was just like a light in them that she had never seen before. I dont know if we will be meeting with her, but I know we really did have a powerful affect on her! It was a cool experience!

This week was also Krüdi nap. I have no idea who he was and I am pretty sure a lot of Hungarians dont either but they had a little holiday anyways haha! They had some cool things for kids to do in the belváros (the center of the city pretty much) and it was fun to see some of the things there.

Tomorrow is the 1856 revolutions holiday tomorrow. They are setting up for it all over the city. It is kinda like independence day. Also tomorrow is my HALFWAY point! So crazy! Time is just flying by so fast! I love being a missionary! Hope you all have a good week. Thanks for the letters. Love you all lots.

So for Elder Judds last week we decided to make palacsintas at the branch house. We put pudding in them and we had just a little bit left so I was going to throw it away because no one wanted to eat it. And anyways, long story short, it somehow ended up all over his face. Dont know how that happened. He must be a messy eater. Also another funny story, if you look at my forehead you can see a big goosebump (its not the clearest in the picture). Last week when we were leaving the emailing place, it was really bright and we had been inside for a while so I was looking down at the ground while I was walking. And this big huge sign walked right in front of me and ran into me. haha! My companion was pretty worried that I got hurt but I think the only thing that got hurt was my pride. haha! I got a pretty good laugh out of it.

nyíregyháza in the fall ( i dont know if i told you this but Nyíregyháza means birch house nyír = birch, egyháza means church)

awsome rainbow we saw this week! If you look in the background on the left is our branch house. It is in an office building on the second story. The members are really hoping for an actual building sometime soon!

this is Hungarys entertainment for children. The people in the middle are manually working the ride. And the little kids are just riding in big baskets.

this is some of the other toys that they had for the kids to play with for krüdi nap.

they had a little puppet show playing about krüdi nap for the kids. it was really funny!
