hey dad, tell mom not to worry, we are just fine here :)
so i don't have much time right now, we had to go to budapest for training on monday, that's why there was no email, and we had to go to Zone conference in Miskolc yesterday so i couldn't email then... I don't have much time now, but our city is just this small little thing. we have some 4 story buildings and a couple of old churches. it's foggy in the morning and night, but it's so cool here! it's a little picturesque place... they even have some cobblestone streets and such! we are surrounded by miles of rolling countryside and lots of fields. they plant their forests in rows, because their country is so old that they have cut down like all of their trees, so thy are trying to rebuld the forests, but they planted them in rows! it's kinda funny :) you guys would love this town, that's for sure. Debrecen is really pretty too, it's the second biggest city in Hungary with 200,000 people in it. it has the debrecen plaza with the big yellow temple in it, it's so cool. If you guys are planning on picking me up, you might have to visit some places before you get me, or after or something, because it's amazing.
so sounds like big doins around the house, new flooring (for the kitchen i resume...) wayne isn't doin so hot, that's no good... is mom still in her Borg outfit? haha :)
the language is coming along, i understand more and more now, i figure by my birthday is when i will be able to understand orat least get the gist of everything they say and i should be able to spit something back out at them that they can understand :) it's only light here from like 7:3o till 4:3o, so we have to get up at 6 everymorning and go to bed at 10.
we have one lady waiting to be baptized on february 16th. that1s after the transfer, so i think i'll still be here, but my companion might have to come back to do the baptizing. he might be going zone leader sionce he is the district leader now and they are losing 2 zone leaders...
well, i have to run now, i'll write more next time about the city and such...
love ya tons, oh, i got 1 letter from you gys when we went to budapest on monday and 2 from uncle kent and aunt barbara.
thanks for sending the language, hopefully it's on its way :)
love ya guys and I'll talk to ya later!!!
