March 22--big day for Lilla and all of us.
 Sister Kennedy and her parents were able to be here.  Sister Kennedy and Sister Oberhansley were the sisters who "found" Lilla.

 RS BIRTHDAY PARTY
Right after the baptism was the RS birthday party.  They enacted the first RS and then told a little about each of the general RS presidents.  Twas very nice.
 Szilvia and Lilla in their bonnets.  Along with Michael, they are our most recent converts.  They are both darling girls!
 On P-day one of the investigators took us on a walking tour of Debrecent. The spring flowers are in bloom so I had Elder Hoferl pose by them.

We walk by the new stadium and hotel and usually stop to check out the progress.
 Spring has sprung in the Nagy Erdo (big forest).  It's so pretty right now.

 A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE
Tibor and his son Tibor come to English class every week.  
They are so kind and have invited us to their home for dinner a couple of times.
I love going because I feel like I get a real taste of rural Hungary.
He  has several farm animals--He has two cows in his small shed.

 Rabbits that they raise to eat......

 Geese and they eat their eggs.
