Zone Conference and Spider Hunting

2/9/09
hey dad!
so today it snowed a bit and now it is just back towet and soggy. i can't wait for spring, yesterday was pretty warm and felt almost like spring, but not quite there...

haha and rest assured, there are some pretty good lookin ties that i have, and some that i wouldn't let mom catch me wearing :) haha! those are the best for zone conferences and such :) just kidding...

so for waffle night, we cook them american style... i don't know if they make waffles here, if they do, i haven't found any place that i can get them... and no cheese in them... just a gaufin thing i think... but they are tasty and we have 2 waffle irons going and i had to help cook them 2 weeks ago, it was fun :) felt like christmas at our house.. well, almost :)

so this weekend we went to ana ctivity for the youth and we palyed 3 on 3 soccer and it was a lot of fun :) we had a less active kid come to that and he also came to church and to help clean the branch house, so i think he is coming back. we now just have to work on his brother... but it is cool to see him coming back, i guess a little while ago, he wasn't even coming to church...

so zone conference was in budapest, i think it is always there for everyone but the people in the east and in the south... but ya, it was in the misison home. it was good, the theme was "the spirit is the key" and i liked it a lot. so, at zone confernce, there is an on the spot talk that is on the theme each time, we we do some recitations (d and c 4 and our mission purpose in hungarian) and then there is an inspirational moment, and a missioanry moment... then therea re trainings and such like that...mostly we are taught how to be better missaionries :) haha umm.. we are trained on whatever the theme is, so this time we focused on recognizing and using the spirit... so it was fun..

this time, sister [g...] had some misisonaries stand up and say when a major turning point in their life came fromt he spirit and it was really good to hear those stories, i liked it a lot...

so this week we went spider hunting, it has been a titch wartmer and they have come out of hiding,and we have lots of them, like big daddy long legs, but differenter... haha we shoot them out of the corners with rubber bands. it was all fun and games till my companion shot one onto my bed and it wasn't dead... no good! but iot has been fun :) sometimes they like to surprise you in the shower, adn our shower is small, so it is either me or him...

things are going well, we have transfers next week, i know, this transfer has flown by for me too!

well, i love ya tons and thanks for everything!
