Sziasztok,
Today was transfer call day. I will be staying here in Szeged as
a Zone Leader and Elder Willes is going home to California. Elder Smith who is
actually already serving here will be my companion. We get along really well,
so it should be a fun time. Again the mission got a lot smaller this transfer.
6 Elder companionships had to be taken out of Hungary and 1 companionship
got taken out of Szeged so we will have the entire city to ourselves next
transfer, a city of 250,000 people. But hopefully sometime in the future more
missionaries come in.
There is a really old, big Jewish synagogue that is right next
to our church meeting house, so on p-day we went and visited it. It is the 2nd
largest synagogue in Hungary and actually the 4th largest one in the World so
it was pretty cool to see. When we went in they gave us 2 instructions. 1) Put on a Yamaka 2) Take pictures. So
that is what we did. Also there was a little tour so we went on that too.

This past week we also translated an article from English to
Hungarian about members of the church and playing professionals sports on
Sunday, because one of our investigators who is 11 years old doesn't want to
get baptized because he said in the future his soccer matches will be on
Sunday when he is professional. We went to a little village to deliver the
article but there were 3 bus stops in the town and we weren't sure which one to
get off at. Of Course we got off at the wrong one and we were a few kilometers
away from where we were supposed to be. But luckily Hungarians in the small
towns are super nice and we were able to get a ride from a stranger which was
nice. Hopefully the article helped him resolve his concern. I find joy
and happiness in this work and I am excited to see what the next transfer
brings.
That fire in Kennewick looks baaaadddd. Good thing we
didn't buy that house that got burned down. I remember touring it and liking it,
but at least you still have a house that isn't in flames. Also I got the
package from Lon and Carleen, and it was good to eat all of those Butterfingers
for breakfast.
Sok szeretettel,
Udy Elder
