Well, the transfers come and go, and sadly Elder Peterson is
leaving me! He's off to go train a new missionary in the city of
Szombathely. Last night, we had a pretty good idea that he was
leaving, so he started telling me everywhere to go tracting, where
some of the less-actives live, and things about the car...because
starting tomorrow I get to drive a car! Freak out!
So today is the first day of Fall! Yay! The trees are starting to
change color, and I'm super excited!
So, I will be getting Elder Raymond. He's only a transfer under
me, but I hear he's an amazing missionary. And also a professional
model. I'm so excited! It's gonna be great!
We went to the city of Veszprém last week on splits. Can I just
say really quick how lucky I am to be where I am and have the
ability to see so many awesome cities? It really is incredible! I
was able to serve with my greenie, Elder Mellor, for like a whole
day! I miss that kid, soooo much! We are definitely hanging out
post-mission. We got a let-in with a really cool older couple who
said the elders can come back and teach them. Elder Mellor turned to
me while we were knocking and said:"It's like Szeged all over
again!" Minus the 120 degree weather and mosquitoes, it was! Haha.
I don't have a lot to say, other than the fact that our work
isn't doing so hot right now, but I have some big plans for the
upcoming transfer. Sometimes you can get a lil' blue on your work,
but if you remember that every disappointment is a blessing on your
head, then it will all work out. So I guess we'll keep knocking on
door until our knuckles are sore! Another important thing I'm
learning: attitude. It's all about your attitude to not only
yourself, but to others. Be kind to others, especially be kind to
those that kick you out of ten-stories, call you rude names in
Hungarian, and threaten to call the cops. It's all part of the
journey, and it really does get better with time. Plus- you get
something to laugh about!
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."-Plato
Love you guys! Have a good week and do good things!
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
