I WENT TO THE HUNGARIAN CIRCUS! 🎪 😲Week 3

 

You guys will not belive the week I've had here in Hungary! WOW. First off, we went to the Magyar (hungarian) Nemzeti Circusz! We used our Pday hours to go and rode our bikes in the freezing cold to get there. Our tickets also didn't work when we got there so we had to run to an ATM 5 minutes before it started and then paid double. But it was SO worth it!! Giraffes, trapeze, horses, flips, dancers, everything you could ever imagine a circus to be. It was magical! If you ever find yourself in Hungary I would highly recommend it.

Next is that we asked "R" and his mom to be baptized!!  We have a lot of faith in "R" and his sweet mother.  I was able to use my plan of salvation cut outs that I made in Hungarian! And even though I couldn't say much. It was fun to feel like I was contributing in the teaching. The kids loved it. I will keep you updated on them! 

Getting ready for Missionary Work- We bike everywhere ! It's starting to get really cold!!

Here's the  final crazy thing that happened this week. So we have a friend named "I". She and her husband are super strong members of the church. She makes us amazing homemade Hungarian meals We were able to reconnect with a family a that was so amazing....So we visit with them the other night, sat down with her and started looking through old photo books. She showed us so many pictures of the first missionaries in Hungary! She was like a mom the all the missionaries there. All of a sudden I heard her say the name McDougal. And I said I know him!! ( we are great family friends with the McDougal's. We live a couple houses away from them and Wesley McDougal was amongst the first missionaries to ever serve here!) She said NO WAY! Elder McDougal baptized my daughter!! And the rest of my family!!! 

WHAT A SMALL WORLD!!!

Here I am on the same street as Elder McDougal was as one of the first missionaries in Pápa. 

Apparently Wesley McDougal baptized the daughter first, and then the son, and then the rest of the family! And then that family was so strong that the parents became the mission presidents!! Absolutely crazy. It was a huge miracle because then we all bonded over that  She also invited us over next week to teach us how to make some meals! It was the coolest experience! 

Missionary life is amazing! Hungarian is hard but it really helps to hear everyone speak it! I love Hungaryyyy!!!   

ALSO send me an email and tell me how you're doing!! I miss you guys. Update me on your lives!!
