We have had a somewhat weird week. To start off, we had
interviews in Budapest, which is a four hour train ride both ways.
Sopron is out in the boondocks on Hungary out by Austria, so it takes a
while to get to Budapest. So most of our day was spent on a train.
Interviews was great, I'm so grateful for a mission president that is
concerned about us and our welfare. He's a great man. By the time we got
home, it was almost 9:00, and we pretty much just went home. Then, the
next day, we had zone training in Gyor, so another day of trains! So
pretty much, our work got slaughtered for the week.
Then, the unthinkable happened: I got SICK. SO sick.
Like, I haven't been this sick in a year or two. I was down for the
count all day on Saturday and a good chunk of yesterday, Sunday. It was
rough, to say the least. I just sat in my bed all day, and the other
elders rotated shifts so someone could be babysitting me while the other
two went to programs. I felt pretty useless. I did have a lot of time
to kind of sit and ponder a bit, and I did think of how precious my time
here in Hungary is and how quickly my time flies by. Heck, my 1/4 mark
is this week! Really quite terrifying. I resolved to make good use of my
time wherever I am. I'll make it work!
So between being on trains and being sick, that is
where most of my time fell this past week. Not a whole lot to talk
about. An old missionary is here in Sopron visiting, so that's been cool
to talk with him and get advice. It's cool to talk to someone "from the
other side". Haha.
I'm so grateful for the prayers and support from
people back at home for my dad and my family! Thank you all so much! I truly appreciate it. It was a little frustrating being several thousand
miles away and not being able to do anything really, but I knew that I
could pray. And Heavenly Father answered. I'm aware of tons of people
who helped my family during that stressful time. Also, I never felt
overwhelmed or incredibly stressed about dad. I know that was a blessing
from God. You have no idea how much of a relief it was to hear that my
dad was taken care of, and so was my mom and brothers, by His angels
here on earth.
So once again, thank you. :)
I hope you all have a spankin' good week! :)
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
