Hi!
This email will be very short, as I have already talked to you on Skype the day before yesterday.
On Friday we had the Christmas Zone Conference. There were talks, we sang together on a square near a subway station, ate a delicious lunch, and Santa Claus came!
The branch’s Christmas party on Saturday was a great success and many members and investigators came. One activity was carolling in the city. We sang Hungarian Christmas songs and every member was excited to give away to people on the streets a copy of the Book of Mormon along with a Christmas flyer. We got back from this program a phone number of a potential investigator.

Week 16 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
First of all, I plan to Skype at 9:00 a.m. Toronto time from the Howells's home.This week we "killed" Elder Shepherd, which means that he finished his mission with us. He packed on Tuesday and we held a farewell party in the branch for him. On Wednesday we went to Pest and we met with Elder Knight who went home with Elder Shepherd. Then we went to Érd to visit grandma. She was very happy to see me and it was a very uplifting experience. I showed her the photos I took when I went to Hőgyész and Kalaznó in March doing family history research, especially the photo of the house where she was born. She knows many names that were engraved on the tombstones so she told me many stories about those names. It was great to be there and I felt very good.

Week 15 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
Monday was a very eventful p-day for us. One of our members, László, took us to Póstelek. It had snowed and the ruined castle was very beautiful. There was a small creek with a small boat and with the help of ropes we could crossed over to a small island. All four of us stepped on the ship and there was no problem. But then the water underneath bubbled up and soon it began to fill the boat. Elder Shepherd quickly jumped back to the island, Elder Szuch pulled the boat back, I sat on the railing to stay above the water, and László just stood and laughed. All of our shoes got wet. It was a funny little adventure.

Week 14 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
This week, we focused on the Light the World initiative. We met with a lot of investigators, church members, and with less-active members, and talked to them about the Christmas advent calendar and the initiative. We also stopped people on the street to talk about it.
On Saturday we held the branch Mikulás (Saint Nicholas) party. It was a great success. Lots of kids came, so the mood was very fun. The kids played musical chairs, had a scavenger hunt, and played other Christmas games. The peak was a visit by Mikulás. László was Mikulás and he played this role very well. The kids really liked it.
