Mon, 2 Jun 2008 Yo Mom,

not much is happening here, the interview went well, i didn't find out much about if i am getting tranfserred or anything, we get transfer calls next sunday and i think my comp is out of here and i will get a new one from somewhere...other than that, things are still kind of slow and i hope they pick up soon.

haha i saw the biggest bug in the world the other day, actually 3 of the biggest ones in the world, two were those big beetles with giant pinchers on the front of them and one was like 3-4 inches long and the other was 2-3 inches. and then we saw a giant cricket looking bug and i tooka picture with my hand spread out next to it and it's antennaes were almost as wide as my hand!! it was crazy, next week i will send it to ya, or maybe in dads email...

Mon 6/02/08 Hey Dad!
haha no worries about the email, it showed up leter that night when we checked again... :)

all good well, Pécs is coming along, it is still slow work, but we had interviews this past week and it was a long hot bus ride through winding roads to Kaposvár... not the best and there were about 6 sick missionaries who stumbled out of the bus that afternoon... but the interviews went good, we have transfers next week, transfers are every 6 weeks and you usually stay in an area for 3ish, but it really depends on whats goin on, my comp is in his 4th here in pécs... so it kind of depends... but usually 2-3ish.

it has been slow work here and kind of frusturating... things just come up that rpevent us from goin tracting and doin some of the stuff we need to do, maybe with transfers it will get better, but we'll see...

the members here are awesome, the are very cool and they help the missionaries a lot, they have ward missionaries who go to programs with us and help us a lot. back in my other branch, they weren't like that, but pécs has the best missionary branch mamber relationship in the mission, so it is a blessing to be able to work here with people :)

we do do a fair amount of less active work and some of them have come back and others don't... kind of sad, but it comes with the job i guess... i just hope the work picks up soon, we do have a few people we are trying to get on bap date, but they have bneen investigating for 3 years and are held up on tithing, but they have been to church 3 weeks in a row which is a record for them and i think we can do it, it just takes time, they are trying something this month, setting aside 10 percent of their income to see if they could even afford tithing, so hopefully it will work out...

my comp is pretty cool, he is from Kamus and is a cool kid. he goes home in november so he still has like 5 months left, but we think he is getting transferred this next transfer.

i think my love of god is increasing, i can see his hand in a lot of things since being out on my mission and i have realised the importance of the gospel a lot more than i thought about it before (i don't think that sentence made sense...) but ya, it is hard to have people tell you that they have enough to get their opwn salvation or that they don't need any more scripture or this and that door after door, but we try i suppose... haha just not much has come from our labors... things will get better though, they always do :) right??!

well, i best be off, i love ya tons and i will talk to ya later!!!
