Hi!
I have finished the equivalent of a sister’s mission! On November 25, I reached the one and a half year mark! :)
This week I travelled a lot, and was in Békéscsaba for only three full days.
On Monday we went to Szabadkígyós with the Howells where there is a beautiful castle in which a rich countess and a count lived. The fall colors were beautiful and the castle was very nice.
We were with the zone leaders in Szeged for splits. Elder Szuch and I were with Elder Smith. We tracted on the streets and met with a mission leader in Szeged and talked about the Light he World initiative, and what kind of service activities we can do during the 25 days leading to Christmas.
On Thursday we celebrated American Thanksgiving at the Howells. We ate chicken, stuffing, fruit salad, mashed potatoes, and pie. It was delicious. We all took turns talking about what we were grateful for. It was a nice experience.

Week 12 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
This week, one of our investigators took us to the local market. There was honey, cheese, lots of sausages, clothes, food, and many other stuff. Then we went to a restaurant and ate fish soup. It was very delicious, well seasoned, and one of the finest dishes I have had in Hungary. We also had a lesson with him and talked about the origin of the Book of Mormon and about Joseph Smith's story.
With another good investigator we had a very good lesson about the Word of Wisdom. He accepted this law and said that he is used to drink a glass of wine a day, but he could stop doing that even tomorrow! He is progressing well, he loves to learn, and is now reading from the book of Jacob in the Book of Mormon.

Week 11 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
It's unbelievable how time flies. I have less than six months in the mission field, and in seven more weeks Christmas will be here!
This week was not too busy and there were not too many interesting things happening, but there were some good lessons that I would like to write about.
We met János and we held a lesson about tithing and fasting. He understood everything and he has finished reading 2 Nephi. He came with us to institute and also to church on Sunday. Elder Szuch went to Pest, and Elder Shepherd and I visited the Belkó family where we had a very good conversation with Tibor and Edina. We read part of Elder Uchtdorf's talk "A Yearning from Home". When we talked about spiritual experiences during the conversation, Tibor said that he prayed for Edina a few days ago because she was not feeling well. Edina said that soon after she felt a lot better. Both of them were amazed that this happened to them and their eyes were a little tearful. The spirit was felt very strongly then. I feel that tiny but continuous changes are beginning to happen with Tibor. We also met Ági, a recent convert, and talked about missionary work. Elder Howell and I visited many of the less-active members.

Week 10 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
On Tuesday night we held the Halloween party for the branch and it was fun. We played a game called "I came from America", music chairs, had a few games for kids, and there were cookies and sweets. Elders Szuch, Neumiller, and I dressed up in cowboy costumes.
Wednesday was transfer day and it was good to go to Pest and meet with my missionary friends. Elder Shepherd came down on Friday, so I'm back in a tripanionship.
We taught a few lessons this week about the ten commandments, priesthood and auxiliary organizations, and overcoming challenges. We also had our English class with the advanced group. We were reading articles from a magazine and it was very good. We also played Uno after the lesson.

Week 9 in Békéscsaba
Hi!
We got the transfer calls this morning from President Szabadkai and I am staying in Békéscsaba with Elder Szuch. Elder Shepherd will be replacing Elder Neumiller who goes to Dunaújváros and is quite happy because he will serving there with his friend, Elder Thomas.
Elder Shepherd is from Utah and is a great guy. He is from the same group as Elder Knight and goes home in December, in just 6 weeks. I am excited about this transfer. I know that it will be good and we will laugh a lot and help the congregation and the people of Békéscsaba.
