Oct. 24, 2016 Post~My House in BUDApest

Well folks, it is official, I am getting old! This week marked the beginning of my 7th transfer in this Csoda Ország of Hungary! Which means that there is only one more! Thank heavens I get to spend it with the coolest companion ever! Also yes, we are both red heads, so there is alot of fire here in Buda these days! Speaking of which, MEET SISTER WITHERS!!!


 Isn't she a beauty! Don't worry, she gave consent to me sending these! We love each other already! We made a transfer goal to film a video every single week, this weeks is titled "Banana Breaking 101". I will try to attach it at the end and hope you all enjoy! (It is in two parts, sorry about that)

  This week was just wonderful! It was sad to leave Veszprém as it always is when transfers happen, but i feel that i can leave saying that I did my best and gave it all I had while I was there! Our last night in Veszprém consisted of...

1) Saying goodbye to Gizi Néni ft. Tomika and the Pelican poncho.







2) Játék Est with the usual's! Oh how I just love these two! Definitely what I will miss most about Veszprém!  Olivér is just the cutest little thing ever, such a sweet kid, and has literally become like a little brother to me these past 9 weeks! Our relationship was just golden!
here is a picture that depicts it really well!
3) McDONALDS!!!! Because that is the classiest restaurant here in Hungary! Also they have a play-place, and you cant pass those up!

"The Cliff"
It was hard to leave another great companion, but Sister Evans is amazing, and I know that her and Sister Swenson are going to be able to work really well together and be able to really help the people there in Veszprém



Transfer day came and went! Got to say hello to a few people I haven't seen in a long while
 (specifically my baby Dorny),



I got to say goodbye to a few that headed home (Elder Bunker),



And everybody else in between
Transfers are always a little bittersweet, but overall just mostly sweet!



















Our first night together as STL's!                                                                                                                                           
And I am just so excited to be here in Buda! Just the past 5 days here have been so amazing already! I love being able to serve with Sister Withers, she is such a great example to me and makes me want to be a better person and missionary! I am so optimistic about this transfer and the things we are going to be able to accomplish together!



White Chocolate Rasberry Turo Rudis! These suckers are life-changers guys! 
Sister Withers officially likes Turo Rudi now!

When your comp has been in Hungary for a year, and still never knew about the magic light up bottom! After all, it is the little things in missionary work that bring true joy! Glad that I can still teach her some new things!






And other weird things you find in Buda....






Since being here in Buda, we have been able to meet with one less active member, Emilia, who ended up coming to church and staying for the whole thing! We had a good teaching on the Law of Chastity, and were able to watch one of the churches inspirational videos about it and have a good discussion about it afterwards! It went really well!

 We also met with Tibor, a recent convert, and talked about Tithing! He seems to understand it really well, and informed us that he has already been paying it since he was baptized, so we are super proud of him!

We met with a new potential investigator this week, her name is Lilla! She is a younger girl, in here 20s and she used to frequently attend angol óra and csaladi est, and some of the other activities that were hosted at the church a few years ago, so she already had a basis of our beleifs. We talked alot about the Book of Mormon and the importance of prayer and how it can help us! She said that she already has a strong belief of prayer! Unfortunately she is really busy next week and we were not able to reschedule with her yet, but she said that she will come to the Meet the Mormons showing on Saturday and that we can plan a teaching appointment for the next week there! 

Right now we have a baptism scheduled for this upcoming transfer for our investigator Erika, and we have a lot of potential investigators that we are working with! We are in the process of scheduling with them this week, as well as looking for more! While tracting we have had a few people give us contact info with a desire for us to come back, so hopefully in the coming weeks we will be able to meet with them as well! 

Tomorrow we will be starting our splits, with the Szolnok sisters, so I am excited for that! 

I love you all and hope that you have an amazing week!


Sok Szeretettel,
LeBaron Nővér
