Szervusztok,
Last week was really good for us. We
had a baptism for a 13 year old girl. Her mom is a
single mom with three daughters and just recently started to return to activity
in the church. Since we have no baptismal font, we went to a local indoor pool
to perform the baptism. The branch president was the one to baptize her and it
went well. We plan on having another baptism for her little 8 year old sister, but she said she wants to be baptized on her 9th birthday
on April 14th.

And then on Sunday we
confirmed her a member of the church, and the stake president for the Hungary Budapest stake was also
there because he was visiting our branch. The stake president’s name is Southwick
elnök and he is actually an American from Idaho. He was a missionary here years
ago and married a Hungarian girl, so now he lives here in Hungary and is the
stake president and he looks super young. I think he is only in his 30s.
Listening to him speak during church was so much easier to understand just
because the way he puts sentences together as an English native speaker as compared
to a native Hungarian speaker.
Last p-day we were just walking around
the town and we decided to walk in one of the dozen Catholic temples in the
city. Mass was starting so we decided
we might as well just stay and attend. It was a little weird because everyone
got up to take the sacrament except the two Mormon missionaries sitting in the
back. And then when it was over, and we walked out onto the street, everyone
was being really nice to us because they thought we were Catholic priests,
haha.

I don’t really know what is in the
water. I just know it causes missionaries to lose their hair. My companion
takes some pills to keep his hair intact and it has worked for him so I just
decided to do the same thing. And I have yet to be fed by a member here.
Missionaries just don’t get fed too often here, we just have to fend for
ourselves most the time.
