9/8/08hey dad!
so i got transferred to a city called Dunaújváros. it used to be one of the smaller ones in hungary, but when the communists came in, they built factories and 10 stories and 4 stories all over the place... half the city is factory (literraly, if you looka t a map it is true...) and the other half is a mix of housing and some stores... it has a place called Romai Kert (Roman Garden) and it is the most condensed collection of 10 stories in europe i hear... and one of the most densely populated ones too... haha the factories belch clouds out all day, and there is this one we call "Mordor" that opens on the hour and it spews a huge, massive black cloud and sometimes it lands right on the city!!! so sometimes if the wind is bad... we get good wiffs of factory and it is not pleasant, and the factories drop little ashes on us all the time...
on the other hand, Duna (shorter name) has been open for like 15 years or more, it was one of the first opened... so everyone here knows us... sometimes we tract with our free english class instead of the Book of Mormon!! crazy huh??
well, my companion is from the group just below mine, so i think i am senior, but at this point, it doesn't matter too much, but technically i think i am :)
they have a pretty cool branch, they used to have two branches here ad now just one, so there are inactives up the wazoo to try and help... but we'll gtet it done!
I think that the Pécs golden family is ok, i haven't heard yet, but D... will keep me updated.
speaking of the adversary throwing stumbling blocks, check out this ladies story, one of our investigators. so the elders are teaching her and ask her to pray about the church and the BOM and such and she says ok... and that night she prayed and in the morning, she woke up and totally like broke her ankle, rolled it real bad, and she is about 80 years old and has liek palsy or something so her hands shake... but she rolls her ankle and the elders come over and she asks if that was her answer and they laugh and she is scared to pray again, but the elders convinced her that this is importantand that she shouéld pray again.... well, she does a while later and the next morning she has a stroke!!!!!!!!!!!! not good!!!!! so now she won't even come to church, she is afraid of dying! i feel bad, but that is kind of funny too :)
well, thigns are going well, i hope i survive this transfer!
well, sorry, but they don't email for very long , so this transfer may be a little shorter than usual,
love ya tons!!!!!!! gaufin elder
