We start off with a wonderfully stressful tuesday where we did a "drill" (that much we did not know). We packed all our belongings and took other procedures incase of emergency to all be safe. We packed fast. Then with extra time I cleaned our entire apartment (after this picture) (stress cleaning is my favorite) then unpacked my bag and packed it again. No need to worry about me in a emergency. Ill get out quick and if anything does end up getting shipped home everything will be folded. I like to think our landlady would have been quite pleased.

We finished tuesday meeting with the Péter and Borbála the greatest hungarians. I love them and have had my testimony confirmed over and over as we have taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are progressing towards baptism and bonus have the neatest home. Péter is a potter and has a little studio in their home with a kiln in it and Borbala is a professional singer. They send their love and want me to tell you thank you for letting me come here. Ill keep you updated on them!
Wednesday featured TONS OF TRACTING. And sweaters because tempeatures dropped out of the blue and in result tracting became harder. But just look at diligent Ribar Elder over there getting yelled at by nénis who were taking naps and were woken up by our ringing!
Thursday was pretty rough since three of our investigators all canceled on us without telling us. So we ended up spending a lot of time waiting and practicing the Christlike attribute of hope! Luckily after the end of our day our one meeting that never fails is the precious skip bo cards. I won twice this week that is for the books since Ribar Elder is usually unbeatable.
This was taken at the end of our Missionary Correlation Meeting with our new Mission Leader Zoli! He has been a member for about a year and is such a great member missionary. He was there on the doorstep of two of our investigators homes waiting and hoping with us till he drove us back into the city. (Cars make me a little uncomfortable now they are so small.) Oh and we got a new sister in our city. Trios are hilarious in a painful way. Better to watch one then be in one in my perspective.
I found my best friend Saturday on the way home from an less active members home. I gave him a lot of love and he gave me a lot of wounds. It is always the best when youre walking though a park and run into a wild hedgehog.
Sunday was fantastic. Partaking of the sacrament is a privlegy. With my limited selection of hymns I decided to play an easier one for the closing hymn in sacrament (God be with you till we meet again). This was a mistake. No one told me before hand sadly but it started out with me playing the introduction and all the nénis in the ward paniking asking each other SO LOUD how the transfer was over so fast. I was so confused at why they were being so loud and talking about the transfer as I tried to focus and get though the first verse (they still wernt singing) the chorister started laughing . I was confused. The branch president was now laughing and the nénis were still talking. I played through thankfully and then said the closing prayer. That was followed by 3 nénis chastising me for picking that hymn. They apparently have a branch secret no one was kind enough to tell me that they only play that the sunday before the transfer and they all thought we were leaving. It was scary in the moment and less scary now but still pretty fresh in my head. I will never play that hymn again hahah.
Sorry that was long. It was supposed to be faster but it wasnt. Psalms 23 inspired me this week as I reflected over all that Ive been given.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I s

Turn to the Lord. Let him restore your soul, let him lead you beside still waters. We need not fear if the Lord is with us. And if we are obedient to his commandments we have the promise of his companionship. I know God lives. He loves each of us. And he sent his Son to lead us back home.
Stellar week kivánok!
I love you.
