Zoo and Budapest

 Last P-day we drove to Niregyhaza with the sisters to see the zoo there.  It is the biggest one in Hungary and a really nice zoo.  We are inside the aquarium in this photo--it was pretty impressive.

 See the camels in the background?

 All four of us inside the aquarium.  I can't help but think of old Esther Williams movies at times like this..

 We took Sister Weberg into Budapest to bid her a fond farewell.  While there we went to the Nagy Piac for a couple of hours.  It is a huge market with fresh food on the main floor and touristy things on the 2nd floor.  It was a fun place to look around.  I did actually buy a few things also.

 We ate there also--stuffed cabbage and golyas soup--very Hungarian.

 In the background is Gellert Hill.  I think it is the hill where Elder Russell M Neilsen dedicated Hungary for the preaching of the gospel, around 1990.

We took our elders out to dinner last Saturday.  It is Elder Nabrotsky's last week in Hungary and he will be going home to Toronto, Canada on Thursday.  He has been a wonderful, hard-working elder.  He has a mastery of the language, is a great teacher, speaker and trainer.  Elder Hofrel was fortunate to have him as a trainer.  We were blessed to have him in Debrecen his last two months in the mission.  Well done, Elder Nabrotsky!

We have grown to love Elder Hofrel.  He is a humble, sweet missionary with lots of faith and isn't afraid to speak up and declare his beliefs. What a blessing to work with him.  These young missionaries are a great joy to us  in the mission field.
