Édes Family Baptism

This was a very happy event. The E'des family are very happy to be members of the church. They found us when Elders Grossen and Hintze handed out Halloween Party invitations on the street. It has not been an easy road for them the whole way but the changes they have made are so wonderful to see. Brother E'des has been interviewed for Priesthood ordination and will be made a Priest next Sunday. Sister E'des is anxious that I learn to be a Hungarian cook before i leave the country and is starting on me this week with langos, Hungarian fried bread.

Life is a Cake Walk

I forgot to add these Farsang videos of my Cup Cake walk. I think the adults like this better than the kids!

Farsang

Farsang is Hungarian Carnival. In some areas of the country it is the time of Balls and expensive parties. In some communities there are traditional masks.

But in Sopron in our Branch it is the time to have a party.

There were costumes of a sort. Ádám was a missionary

Laura was a princess and Bi was just cute

We all made masks

Dad even played pin the tail on the donkey

Sorry it is sideways. I don't seem to be able to fix that. Maybe Christie can.

Family Home Evening

Erika, Elder Nichols, Elder Hintze

Preparing for family home evening gives me a little something to do on my preparation day, prepare for dinner. It seems that we are all more open to talk and to accept a message over a meal. There is just something about eating. We are also trying to get each branch member or family over. It is really helping us get closer to them.

"Szuper" waffle night

We decided that waffle night was getting a little stale, so we had szuper waffle night and played some games. You will recognize scrabble here. It was very fun to play. I cheated and had Kata Édés help me. And we won. You will notice below that this is not the scrabble that you are used to. There are a few more letters to work with. This is my scrabble game so everybody get ready to play when I come home!

My Investigator board

This is the investigator board that took me forever to make. I still haven't got the pieces laminated. But it is a good thing because the folks in the Branch found a couple of mistakes i had to correct. I used the Conference messages and the Gospel principle and Preach My Gospel to get my text. Pictures I found in old Liahona's and also I went on line and copied some. I have in mind what my next one will be. It will have more pictures and less text.

Hungarian Class

This is Etta, our Hungarian teacher and her husband Richard and her son Max. We spend every Monday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday morning at Etta's from 9 to 11. It seems like such a lot but we still don't really speak any useful Hungarian. We just hope that we can get this family interested in the church. We try to work in gospel principles as much as possible.
