Sziasztok! Hey-sztok! Lol-sztok.
I took so many pictures this week. It was one of my goals. Goal-accomplished. (fist pump).
But, seriously, we had a pretty fun week. Except one thing...my
companion kind of had strep throat the ENTIRE week...lame. So, he had
like no energy and I got to hangout at the apartment for long periods of
time. Darn you sicknesses!
So, last P-Day, we totally went to a Jewish temple. Yeah, I know, it's totally awesome. Don't worry, it's not a used Jewish temple. It got bought out by a DJ company and now it's a dance club!
Awkward. But, it was still super pretty and what not. And there were
some cool statues of Moses and other cool people like him. Prophets.
Cool stuff right there. After checking out that sick place, we then went
out to a member's house out in the boondocks to have an FHE. It was an
awesome success, and we got a yummy dinner of gyros! I love Hungarian
food!
On the way back whilst waiting at the bus stop, a
stray cat came up to Elder Mullen and started like purring and
everything. So, he picked it up. It then fell asleep in his arms. Cute.
But, it was a stray cat, and the white handbook says that we can't have
pets, so we had to let it roam free. Sad.
On Saturday, we celebrated the Hungarian holiday of
Farsang (FAR-shawn). I don't know why they celebrate it in February, but
it's like Halloween for them and they all dress up and eat lots of
sweets and everything! The ward threw a party and everyone dressed up!
The missionaries were Skittles! We all dressed up with bright colors (we
made sure they were all different) and wore "S"'s. The members totally
were lost, and it took like atleast two minutes to explain what a
"Skittle" was. So funny! Elder D'Angina and I ran a booth at the party,
and it was that fishing game where you throw a line with a cup on the
end over a white board and someone on the other end puts candy in it and
TUGS ON THE LINE AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. We were the happening thing at
the party. The kids were laughing so hard!
Missionary experience: We met with one of our
awesome investigators who is dating a member of the ward, who is
currently serving a missionary here in Hungary. I might have already
mentioned him. We met with him after church on Sunday, and he said that
he wanted to read something out of the Book of Mormon with us. We asked
him where, he looked at me and said "Giacalone elder, open up your
scriptures and that's where we'll read!" Oh dear. Talk about pressure.
With a little prayer in my heart, I let the pages fall open. Alma 18.
Ammon bearing testimony before King Lamoni. We read the entire story and
it was so awesome! As we wrapped up, the Spirit was so strong. We knew
he could feel it. We jokingly said how lucky we were that he had that
idea. He said something to the effect of "Well, I am a Son of God!" Boom. Powerful Spirit. He really knew what he was saying.
I love being here. This city is awesome. My
companion is awesome. Being a missionary for the Lord is awesome.
Remember who you all are! You all have divine lineage. So, show it!
Shout out to my dad: I love you! You are still my hero!
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
