Sziasztok,
In our city the library is closed the
first Monday of every month, so that is why I am emailing on
Tuesday instead of Monday. This past week we did a lot of traveling.
We went to the mission home in Buda for new missionary training. That was
really nice because I got to pick up an early birthday package. Then we went to
Veszprém for splits. And there we celebrated my birthday a little bit and
opened up all of the stuff in the package. It took awhile because every little
thing including all the small butterfingers were wrapped. But I will probably
wait to make the brownies with the candles until my actual birthday, and also
we made Mountain Dew floats with citrus ice cream.

Since fruit season is starting to come
around and there are a lot of cherry trees in the residential neighborhoods, we
have been eating a lot of cherries while tracting. It provides a nice treat for
us, and I'm excited to see what other kind of fruit trees I can find
later.
Also this last Sunday was a Western
Europe Stake Conference Broadcast, which meant we watched a broadcast from Pest
for 30 minutes where the stake president spoke and then we watched a broadcast
from Germany where Elder Uchtdorf spoke and Elder Patrick Kearon and some other
people. It was really good to hear from them. But the person who usually sets
up the technical stuff for the branch had to be in Pest because he is the stake
technician, so the responsibility eventually got passed down to us missionaries.
Luckily everything worked out, and I was able to get everything running with
the projector and the computer.
As for how the branch works with the missionaries, there could be a little more involvement. There is no branch council, and the
branch mission leader and the branch president don’t speak to each other about
the work. It is really hard to get members to come with us to lessons. I think
this is why the stake president visits here often. Anyways, Happy Birthday Mom. I hope you have a good trip to Oregon!
Sok szeretettel,
Udy Elder
