We started our free English class again

February 5, 2018

Sziasztok mindenkinek, (Hello everyone)

     Last week we had our zone conference up in Budapest which was good. It fells like we are always going up to Budapest and whenever we do we always lose a day because of the 6 hours of sitting on a train. But it was a good conference, and afterwards the zone leaders came down to Kaposvár so there were 6 of us on the train.

Last week, while we were talking to people out on the street, we ran into one of our investigators who lives outside Kaposvár. He took it as a sign because he usually is never in Kaposvár and the one time he is, he sees us. So we took him to the church, or branch house, and we gave him a little tour. Hopefully we can get him to church one of these days. It is a struggle here to get people to church.

We also tracted into a new family that we started teaching. The dad is in the military and will be going to the Croatian border for the next 2 weeks, but he said he will read half of the Book of Mormon because he will have a ton of free time. 

Also this week we started our free English class again. We teach both a beginner and advanced class. Last week we taught the advanced class so we did things to initiate conversations with them because they mainly just want to practice speaking since they all speak fairly well. 

Unfortunately I've been told not to disclose anything about the mission, so I am unable to answer your questions at this time, but maybe next week. (Side note: The church announced it is realigning the boundaries of 19 missions and merging them with adjoining missions--July 1st.  This announcement could affect the Hungary mission boundaries).   Click here to read official announcement about Mission Adjustments.  That’s cool you got a book from the Library on Hungarian history (The Bridge at Andau). I don't know that much about the history, but it would be good to learn some more. That's good that the Patriots lost and hopefully BYU will be able to make it into the tournament this year. Do you know if they are going to make it into the tournament? My meals mostly consist of pizzas, ramen, and turkey nuggets. And occasionally we go out to eat or I might make hamburgers, tacos, or pancakes. The members here seem fine with the change in the prophet, they haven't expressed too much about it. And I think I lost my SD card reader, so I will have to buy a new one somewhere. 

Sok szeretettel, (Lots of love)
