Hi!
Another chapter in Elder Gonzalez's mission! Now I have not one, not two, but three companions. QUADPANIONSHIP!
No, we did not get another greeny. And I did not make myself a clone. But one of the elders in Szolnok became sick and went home, so his companion, Elder Rohner was sent here by the mission president, so now we are four. It's a little tight and we have to do mini-splits, but it's all good haha. Elder Rohner is from Australia (Melbourne) and has been in the mission for a year. It's funny that now a Canadian, an Australian, a Hungarian, and an American are serving together. A small UN!

Week 24 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
This week we got a new (greenie) missionary in our companionship. On Monday night, President Szabakdai spoke to us on this phone about it and on Wednesday we went to Budapest to pick up Elder Rusz. He is 25 years old from the Buda ward, He used to work in the "Gringos Amigos" restaurant and I knew him and his sister when I served in Buda. Elder Rusz is a very good and smart missionary. He also draws very well.
We had a lot of programs this week and taught lessons to investigators, a new convert, a less active member, and also to active members, so we had a very busy week. In addition, we helped Bea and her family a lot. They just moved into our branch and their house requires a lot of work. We did a big clean up of the house and among other things emptied old bottles of liquor (pálinka).

Week 23 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
This week we found a new investigator and a total of four investigators came to church on Sunday, so it was a week rich in numbers!
We met with a young man from our English classes and shared with him the message of the Restoration. He has already read the first six chapters of the Book of Mormon and he prays. He said that he feels a lot better and sees positive changes in his life after he began to meet with us. A few days later we met with him and with his girlfriend again in a cafe house. We drank hot chocolate and he asked why we did not drink coffee, so we taught them about the Word of Wisdom.

Week 22 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
I’m down to the last 101 days in my mission, so tomorrow I’ll reach the last 100 days!
This week we had some good programs. We found a new investigator in English class and talked to him about the purpose of life, the Fall, and the atonement. We also taught a part-member family about the Family: A Proclamation to the World.
President Szabadkai came to Békéscsaba on the weekend and helped us teaching. He also conducted a Temple recommend interview with me and gave a talk in church on Sunday which was a very busy day. We took the sacrament to a member who was sick and visited inactive members, as well as a member who is in rehabilitation.
We went with an investigator and his family to watch a volleyball match. The Békéscsaba womens’ team is very good and have won many championships in Europe. They are the best team in Hungary. They played against an even stronger Italian team and lost. But despite the loss it was a good match. Yeah, and last week we watched a women's handball match too. The local womens’ team played against Dunaújváros, a much stronger team. Dunaújváros led in the first half but Békéscsaba attacked and defended well and managed to win. It was a very good and exciting game.
