Transfers

 We always think we have transfers figured out but we are quite often surprised.  Sister Kennedy thought she was going for sure, but she didn't (which we are awfully happy about.)  We will send her home to Brigham City in December.  Then we thought Elder Cutler would stay, but he didn't. (which we were sad about.)  He was sent to Szeged.  We will miss him a lot.
But one nice thing about transfers is we get to meet new elders and they come with different experiences and ideas.
We were really fortunate to get Elder Bebel (rhymes with pebble).  He is an outstanding missionary and he and Elder Nyman are working hard.  They keep really busy,  And, of course, we have the most wonderful set of sisters in the mission--Kennedy and Oberhansley.

 These were taken at pancake night.  Laszlo and his father, Laszlo.  They come to English class and join us in some of our other activities during the week.
 Janos and Virgil.  They have fun kidding each other.  Janos told Virgil he wasn't going to eat because he didn't want to get a big belly like Virgil.  So Virgil just kept feeding him pancake after pancake all night. 
 Dorie--our awesome YSA
 Sunday dinner again with our favorite people.  Our Special guests today were Sister Madgar and her roommate Zsoka, branch members.
 This is where you'll find Virgil after every Sunday dinner.  He is such a good sport to do the dishes all the time.
 We were in the MTC with Ruth and Marvin Smith.  They are "stationed" in Szolnok.  We took the train one morning and went to spent a few hours with them.  They showed us around their city and we ate lunch with them.

 We are ready to get on the train, heading back to Debrecen.
 There are a couple of souvenirs from Hungary that most of the elders like to get. And they can get them both while serving in Debrecen or Nyridghaza.  One is a whip from Hortobag and the other is a custum-tailored suit from a lady near Nyridghaza.  We go to district meeting at Nyridghaza every other week.  The first week we took the elders to be measured.  The lady's shop is in her basement and is quite interesting.  Then we took the elders again before the next district meeting to get their final fitting and they were able to pick up their suits after district meeting. They were both really happy with their suits.  They are custom made for only $100.  The coolest thing about them is the lining is like the Hungarian flag.  This is Elder Nyman getting fitted.

And Elder Bebel.  Pretty nice!
