March

 Almost every week we have district meeting and we take turns with Niregyhaza.  The Jensens are now the senior couple in Niregyhaza so we get to see them a lot which is nice.
 Sister Grigg and Sister Moffett from Niregyhaza.
 Elder Spedding, Sister Rupard, and Elder Haws.
 Last week we visited a woman and her new baby.  She is the non-member wife of one of our members.  They live about 40 minutes outside of Debrecen.  The drive out was beautiful countryside.  This photo is of their backyard--I loved the backyard.  So quaint and rustic.
 For my birthday last week we went with the missionaries and Michael to an Indian restaurant.  L-R is Sister Rupard, Sister Woofendin, Sister and Elder Steel, Michael, Elder Hoferl, Elder Haws.
 The flowers Virgil gave me for my birthday.  They have a real Hungarian look about them.
 Last week we had zone conference in Budapest.  Three zones were there on Thursday.  Our darling  Sister Oberhansley is going home and she ate lunch with her MTC group one last time.  She was the only sister in the MTC group and they had a lot of fun together.  When the sister goes home from the MTC group they call the elders "bachelors."
 Our table at lunch.  L-R  Elder Steel, Elder Bagozzi, the Stake President of the only stake in Hungary, Elder and Sister Jensen, Elder and Sister Smith.
 The whole group at lunch
 We finally met Elder Neely from St. George.  We have never served around him so we were able to meet him at the zone conference. We hope he gets to serve in Debrecen sometime.  We hear great things about him.
 Afterwards we went into Budapest to eat.  We had to get a picture in front of this casino.  We didn't eat there but went to a nice restaurant along the Danube.
 This musical ensemble was playing at the restaurant.  The food wasn't great but the music was.
 Five bridges cross the Danube in Budapest and they are all lit up at night.  Budapest is a beautiful city.
 The Bagozzi's (they are golfers and St. George snowbirds) the Jensen's, Elder Steel
 I picked up my birthday package when we were in Budapest.  It had so many fun things in it.  My favorite was this birthday banner with notes from grandkids written on the flags.
 On Friday night activity night we decided to branch out and not just have pancakes.  Once a month we will have a cooking demonstration.  Sister Hegedus made Poor Mans soup for us.
Dishing up.  The lady in blue and her family are from English class and are not members. They usually come to Activity night on Friday.
For Sunday dinner we invited the Szabo family.  I work with the mom in Primary and just love her.  We met them the first week we were in Hungary and have visited them regularly every since.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I just saw this comment because I don't look at the comments very often. We miss you too and think about you often. I hope you will come again and meet with the elders so we can see you again.
