Ya this past week went by really fast. We went on splits this week and it was me and Peugnet ,we were in the MTC together, And we tought this lady but we both are still learning this language and didnt quite understand everything but it was way fun. And that lady actually said the closing prayer at our program. The Elders have been meeting with her for about 4 months now and she has never said a prayer while they were there. And she finally did. it was pretty cool. Church was good this week we had alot of people there, and some really good speakers.
So the other night we were just chilin and then this car alarm started going off and about 5 min later it was still going so we went to the window to look and see where it was coming from, and all of a suddon we see this thing fly out of the window below us. haha these drunk people were throwing little things of Yogurt out the window and trying to hit the roof across the street but they we so drunk they couldnt even make it across the street. It was pretty interesting to watch. So thats whats new here drunk people throwing yogurt out the window.
Mom thats way cool that your friend at work is interested in the church. Thats so cool. i hope that goes well. its so awesome the power you can feel when you read the book of mormon. All of our investigators and less actives, that were teaching, i can tell when they read the book of mormon because there week went alot better and they are alot happier and have questions.
I love you guys and hope life is going good for yall.

Well family this week has been awesome! It was really hard to say goodbuy to debrecen, and especially Szabó and the District. But new place, Newish companions and tons of people. Wow this place is huge sorry the pictures are small or blury but im using an old computer and its weird to use so i don't know how to do it right. But hey so we live on the 11th floor and this is the veiw from my bedroom window you can see the Duna, Parliment, Fishermans Bastion, and lots more but ya its really neat. Ha so yesterday we were streeting people down by the Duna and its been raining like crazy here, and the Duna is so full that there is this road that goes down by the shore and its almost 3ft under water, so the duna is about 6'-7' overflowing, and the Duna isn't a small river. So thats alot of rain.
Well Mansell i now on this P-90X Diet workout thing and hes got me doing it too :) haha talk to reed about it he'll know about it. Basically its a really tough workout and eating diet but it makes you really strong. We did Yoga the other day and i dont think ive been more tired and sore in my life. Ha its way fun though.
Alright so pest is HUGE but we had English Class on thursday and we taught the Profi Expert class and there is this old guy named Frank and he is one funny old man. He kept trying to stump me on what engine parts were and how to build engines haha It was really random but i knew all the answers and i stumped him twice but, we ended up talking to him after because he was, Amazed by me, about the church and he didn't come to church but were working on him.
Yesterday was awesome we were streeting and i couldn't get any body to really listen to me, then Mansell told me that i just need to bear a simple testimony. Dang it worked, i saw these 2 guys, on separate occasions, and the first kid was about 18 ands moking but i just told him that i know that this messge is true, and he said that he wants to meet! Then this other guy that was about 22, he wants to meet now just becuase i told him that i know thta it is true. Thats it. Ahhh it was so awesome.
Well being in a threesome is really different alittle more rushed but wow its so fun. I learn alot more from the both of them, Lynn is really good in the Language so i learn aton from him, and Mansell is just.... Mansell :) Hes an amazing missionary he works so hard, hes a great example to me. I think thats why president put me with him again, because he wants me to learn how to work really hard and be very very determined about my goals. Almost Obbsessed.
His Homecoming is on August 16, at the big white church by the Holgol Zoo. Hes not sure about the church but ill try and let you know more later. The Gassers is on the 9th of August, in Bountiful im not sure again which church.
Well i love you guys and thanks mom for the Love, My companions thank you too, I worked out a deal with mansell, since were not allowed to go to a Massage place, for 2 oreos he gives me a 5min massage. I think its worth it...

Happy Fathers day! I have the Best Parents ever!!!! Thanks for all the stuff, care packages!!!! You guys are awesome!
K this is crazy so us the Elders ran to the other elders apartment to do a super work out and then we did our studies there. But mainly so that we could all be together when we got transfer calls. So they came really early in the morning and Brockman Answered it. So Szabó is getting Apgood, My mtc district buddy, And haha your not going to beleive this, I am going to Pest In a 3some companionship with Mansell And Lynn Elder, Haha wow im so excited. Lynn was my Ősi, The older Hungarian elder, In the MTC so this is going to be way tight! BUt im going to "kill" be the last companion of Mansell's. Ahh im so excited, I really sad to be leaving here because finally all of our hard work is finally showing but now im leaving it all for apgood haha oh well the work is going pretty good in Pest so thats good. WEll now i will have served in the 2 largest City's in Hungary! Not what i was expecting.
So This week was pretty good we had alot of good bye programs with Ági and Zitus, Ági left for america on Saturday, Then we finally were able to meet with Krisztina Néni, She is the Coolest Néni ever, She fed us so much food. ahh it was so good then we taught her about Temples and that was good. Oh but the coolest thing ever is we went on Saturday To Zsoka's Garden House, She is our landlord and a very faithful Angol Óra, English Class, Student. haha but wow we went out into the country way back into the trees and fields and Her family has this little House with a big garden around it. We picked Sweet Cherries, little red things, little green things, little purple things and raspberries. They all tasted good but i dont know what some of them are called. I have never seen them in america. Then we went inside and ate dinner with them and the sisters were there. ohh it was so cool, i loved going out there, I want to serve in a place like that so bad, but that wont be for awhile But the city will be fun im excited.
Well it was hard saying goodbye to people and there is this family The Szabóék and they have these little kids that i can never understand but i played blocks and puzzles with them at there house and now they love me. But the little girl kept giving me hugs at church and she cried when i left, ha wow that was kinda hard to see. I love these people a ton they are so neat. I am going to try and put some pictures on so i hope that they get to you. Thanks for everything and the packages!
