Bummer there isnt halloween here, but we carved some
pumpkins last P-day with the elders so that was fun! 
(Elder Wilcox and Márk a little boy/ recent convert in our ward whose sister we are currently teaching!)
Tuesday we had
greenie training, so that was super fun, we took a little trip up to
Budapest! In one of my trainers first areas she served with Sister Kovács a native from here in Hungary and she got married on Friday, so we got special permission to go to the wedding up in Kecskemét (AKA goat town in English)! It was super fun and Sister Kovács was super pretty in her wedding dress! She is super sassy and her wedding was not your typical wedding, but it was definitely a blast!
Our mission president was at the wedding also, so him and his wife drove us home to Szeged and Saturday morning they made our distric some breakfast and we had a little program with them! It was super sweet of them and the food was delicious! Saturday we had another wedding in our branch so we got to go to their reception, it was fun!
Last night we had a really cool experience while we were tracting! This week in District meeting we were talking about involving the Lord in your planning and letting him know where you will be throughout the day so that he can put people in your path. So last night as we were walking down the road that I had chosen to tract, a man was outside in his yard and he yelled hello to us from across the street, which let me be the first to say that that normally does not happen in Hungary. The people here are very kind, but they are also very reserved to themselves. So we jump on the opportunity to talk to this man and we went up to his gate and introduced ourselves as missionaries. He invited us inside his home to get warm and when we sat down at the table he told us that he would listen to whatever we had to say! AKA another miracle, because that never happens! We ended up teaching him the whole restoration and when we got to the Book of Mormon he told us he actually had one that he had recieved years ago, and it ended up being one of the super old translations into Hungarian from 1991. It was super neat! He was the sweetest guy that I have probably ever met! He brought us out some water and two chocolate candy bars for me and my companion. As we got talking he told us that his wife had passed away, and yesterday was Halóttak Napja (day of the dead) so it was something that had obviously been on his mind before we came. We told him that we believe that God has created a plan for us so we can return to live with him and our families for forever! He wanted to know more so we scheduled to meet with him again! It was a super awesome experience and a definitely testimony builder to me of planning with the Lord and relying on Him, not just on our own ideas!
