Kaylee in Budapest: HUMP DAYYYY

May 4th Hump DAYYYY
"Burning the Skirt"

Well what do you know, we have officially hit half way! It feels like just weeks ago that we were in the MTC on our "Halfway to Hungary" mark, but now we are halfway to home! The time sure does fly by! To celebrate we had some fun and burnt a skirt!

This week we won the mission challenge and so our mission president, his wife, and daughter all came down to Békéscsaba and took us out to lunch! It was so great to see them, and the food was so delicious! (See the pictures to follow)

Sis Grogan & I shared this plate!!

A Typical Hungarian Meal

Dinner with the Szabadkai's!

Erzsike, the sweet little néni we met this week!

Sister goulding accidently took the tag off my jacket instead of hers, so we were both "LeBaron Nővér" for the whole dinner with President! At first i couldnt tell if she did it as a joke, or if it was an accident, turns out she had no clue she had done it! It was pretty funny, we all got a good laugh!

The work here in Békés is going great! Unfortunately Marika, our investigator with a baptismal date, moved unexpectedly this week, to a town an hour away that has no missionaries, and we can no longer meet with her, so she wont be getting baptized on the 4th. I did call her and talk to her for quite awhile and she reassured me that she does still want to get baptized, it will just have to be later, if she ever moves back. So that was a bummer.

This week i found an old record of a less active member in the branch and called her up, and she invited us over! We went to visit and she is seriously the cutest little lady ever! She has had a pretty rough life, her husband died within a few years of marriage, and she never had kids, she lived through both world wars and the whole communist reign, and then 6 years ago she found the church and was baptized! Because of health issues she is no longer able to make it to church on sundays, but she continues to read the Book of Mormon daily! We had a really great talk with her, and shared the visiting teaching message for the month! I cant wait to go back to see her again, she is now my new favorite person, she is just so adorable!

Szabadkígyos Kastely!

This Sunday, I got to give my first talk in Hungarian. It was nerve-wracking, it had to be 15 minutes, but it was a good experience and alot of fun! I based it off a talk given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf in the 2012 October general conference, called "Of Regrets and Resolutions." I would attach my talk, but its in Hungarian and I don't know how many of you guys would understand it, and I'm sure President Uchtdorf gave it better, but it is an amazing talk! I would definitely recommend that you all look it up! He suggests three resolutions that we can all work on, so that we wont have regrets down the road! Beautiful talk, definitely give it a look!

Other than that our week was pretty busy with crazy stuff as usual, so I don't have time to write it all, but it was fun and full of hard work! I hope that you guys are doing great at home, I love you!

Sok Szeretettel,

LeBaron Nővér
