Szeged Week Seventeen (Week 66)

So, first of all, I bought a fancy European suit. Finally. I only waited like fifteen months to buy one!
Wow, so that was one of my highlights last week. Just kidding, there was a good amount, as always ;)
It's still so, so, so hot. Let me say that one more time: SO HOT. We sweat the minute we leave our apartment in the morning, and keep sweating until we come home. It's a good thing that this is my last Summer, because my short-sleeve shirts are failing...fast! But, life is great.
What else...when it wasn't super hot last week, it was pouring rain. Yes, we are now in the crazy rain season of Hungary! But, it helps us get let into buildings because people feel bad for us crazy, soaking wet Americans, so we found some really cool people last week! One of them was a seventeen-year old kid who is living by himself and has TWO apartments in Hungary: one in Pest and one here in Szeged! He's like loaded! He is super busy, but we're going to see if he's home this week. 
We had an awesome feeding program yesterday at a member's house. She fed us this really yummy vegetable soup with Hungarian tejföl (...it's like Sour Cream, but...it's not?) mixed in it. We then had some Cherry bars. What I really like about Hungarian feeding routines is that they literally set aside like a half hour for "rest" after you eat a big meal. So they literally make you lay on a couch for like up to thirty minutes to just rest, or you offend them! It's the best! :)
We had an intense program with one of our investigators about his bapdate. He's a little unsure about some things in the church, and we've been working with him. He wants to get baptized so bad, but he is struggling with one or two commandments. We had planned to talk about temples with him, but he brought up the baptismal questions suddenly, and we both just started going through them with him. As we went through them, we began to realize what his concerns were, and we set a plan with him to get them resolved. I'd never really had a program like that before, where the Spirit really just guided us to what the real problem was, and then we could bust out a plan to solve it. It was really neat!
So, this one is a little short: sorry! We have a few programs today and then we might do a ropes course: how the heck do you do those things?! Also, my camera is still struggling...so...meh. :( But, I love you all! Do good things! I know you all can :)
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
