Dear Family,
Sorry I haven't been able to email
for a long time, with Christmas, New Years and transfers everything was
crazzzzy! But first off, E`s baptism was perfect!! And it was the best
feeling ever having the opportunity to baptize her! It’s just super sad now
because I left Buda and I won’t see her for quite a long time. She also said
that now M. also wants to be baptized and I won’t be there for it as
well. Seriously the coolest thing ever to see their progression, in just a
couple of months, I have been able to see such a big change in her and she is
so much happier; it’s amazing to be out here bringing these people such happiness.
So far Eger is an awesome place and
my companion is hilarious. His name is Elder P, and he was trained by the
one and only Elder O. (who I flippin love), so I was pretty stoked. Also on
Saturday the new secretary came up and it was Elder C!! He is the Irish
Elder who I served around in Sopron. We were in a tri-ship for a couple days so
that I could train him how to be a successful secretary and it was the
funnest thing ever! The office actually became a cool place. We also had quite
a bit of success finding too, which was funny because it was at the most random
times; like shopping at the nagy piac on P-day we met this cool lady who we talked
to for 30min. and she wanted us to come back sometime. Then at Burger King
I met this super girl named "K" who surprised me when I
ordered in Hungarian and she answered back in fluent American English. We
talked to her for a while, but she was working so we just gave her our
number and later she called us and we met with her, and she is super cool.
Anyways Eger is flippin tiny
compared to all my other cities, especially compared to Budapest. I haven't left
Budapest since May; I lived there for around 8 months. At first, I really
wanted to leave, but as I got to the train station, I really didn't want to
go... I really fell in love with Budapest. I’m even thinking about going back
for a semester abroad or something. But Eger is super pretty and a really nice
town. We actually went to the basilica here which is huge and it turned out
that they were having mass. . . it was very interesting, a ton different than
our church, but it was super cool to see!
Anyways hope every bodies New Year
was spectacular!!
Love
Elder Waldvogel
