Szervusztok,
This past week was another good one.
Last week on p-day we went to the Tisza River which runs through Szeged. We did
a little fishing but the only problem is that the Tisza is more like a dump
than a river. The water was straight brown. I don't think I have ever seen a
dirtier river.

On p-day we also went whipping which means that we had a
Hungarian whip and we just threw it around and made a lot of really loud
noise.

Yesterday we had our first interviews
with President Hettinger. It was weird to talk to the Mission President in
English. It felt so much different from the previous interviews I have had with
the mission President. It was really nice to be with him and Sister
Hettinger. He is always using slang and cracking jokes and asking for the
perspectives of missionaries on topics. He is a really good leader and we are
lucky to have him as our mission President.

One of our investigators, who has a
baptismal date for September 15th, smokes a lot--which
really isn't a weird thing here. It is a normal thing to see a bunch of young
teenagers smoking in this country. So we introduced him to the classic 15- step
program to help him quit smoking because he only has 1 month to quit. The
program is really good because it combines scientific ways that have been
proven to help people stop smoking with faith. Info on 15 step program to stop smoking
Also again this week Izabela Geambasu
came to Szeged. She is a church member from Romania who sings really well and
is doing a tour around Hungary. I already saw her once in Székesfehérvár, but I
got to see her one more time here in Szeged. To promote the event we went into
a bunch of businesses and put fliers up and also passed out a ton of them.

This
is also the last week of the transfer. It has flown by probably because it was
only 5 weeks instead of 9. But we'll see what is in store for me and what
changes come next week.
Sok szeretettel,
Udy Elder
