In Hungary Mikulas (Santa Claus) comes on December 6th

December 11, 2017
Sziasztok barátaim és családom,

This week we had interviews with the mission president, so we took an hour bus ride to Pécs (The hometown of Szabadkai Elnök). Afterwards the Pécs missionaries and us sang Christmas songs downtown and a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. We are currently in the process of making a Mormon Misszionárius Vagyok (I'm a Mormon Missionary) Video. We will debut it on our Facebook page sometime this week and hopefully people hit us up with some shares. If I can, I’ll try and send it next week. Also this week Cushing Elder and I had a big time meeting with the Mayor of Kaposvár. We have been planning a big Christmas event downtown on December 23rd, but we had to get permission to use the park that is located downtown. The Mayor gave us permission and now we just have to make sure we do something big. 

In Hungary Mikulás (Santa Claus) comes on December 6th and little kids leave their boots out at night and the good kids get sweets and presents in their boots and the bad kids get sticks in their boots. Anyways for some reason a lot of people just dress up as Mikulás and just walk around the city on December 6th. There was even an event where a bunch of Mikuláses rode their motorcycles around town. And whenever I'm on the bus, I always ask people what they got from Mikulás and for some reason the old grandmas always think it is funny.

It has snowed a little bit here, but not enough to cover the ground. I can't believe that my letter already got there, it took less than a week! Thanks for the pictures. 

Sok szerettél,
