Terror Haz, and riots, not to worry...

03/23/09
hey dad!
so i got a lot to tell this go around :) first off:

the terror ház was intense... maybe if you all come we could visit it. but ya it was the secret police headquarters during the communist era and it was procommunist and betrayed a lot of hungaian people... no good. but ya, we saw the execuation room with all of the gallows and we saw the holding cells, the solitary cell, we saw the torture chambers... and some of the torture tools, and we saw tons of things like that. it was really intense, but interesting to read about and hear about. everything there had engliosh subtitles or recordings or papers. it was a neat experience though... it was weird to be in the basement area with all the really bad stuff and it was all dark and dank and no good... most of it has been redone to make it prettier, but you can still imagine back then, all brick and wet diungeon look and such...

well, the older investigator of ours is still coming along, he likes the idea of meeting once a week and whenever we get in to his house he reminds us that we need an opening prayer and he like sto say it to "practice" what more ould oyu want?

with our 16 yr old kid, he can be baptised with a permission slip signed by his parents, and speaking of his parents, they wanted to meet us and we went there last night and we taught the whole family about the restoration! we got the whole family somewhat interested and they are wanteing to meet again next week. it is awesome and we are really excited!

the riots here weren't too bad, they called in 4000 extra policemen from surrounding villages and had thigns rpetty much under control. i guess a few years ago the protestors wound up with a tank and ripped some streets up and since then they have kept thigns pretty under control. but it was a big hungarian holiday, they had a revolution that day back in 1956 and now they celebrate it even though they didn't win the revolution... but still.

zone conference was really good, it was on endure to the end and we had some good trainings. i didn't ahve to do anything this go around :) but it was a good one still-.

well, that is about it, it is still really cold here, the wind chill today was no fun...

but i love you all and hope that thigns are going well!
love ya tons!!!
