Dear Family and Friends,
So, basically I have no time at all
to write anything. My time is almost out and I have got to go and do some other
things before the day ends, but I will furiously type the things that have
happened this week.
For the main highlight, I am no
longer in the same companionship. Yeah, there were some small things that
happened in the mission. Elder H, who was my 2nd companion, was one of the Assistants
to the President, but this past week he broke his foot exercising one morning
and the doctors told him that he would have to have surgery on his foot, which
meant that he would have to go back home and have that done. So, this past
Wednesday, he took his flight back home. Fortunately he will be able to come
back in June, the time when Heather comes into the country, to finish up his
mission. Since he is on medical leave, his mission clock stops and will restart
again when he comes back. It's such a sad happening! He is one of my best
friends and it feels so weird with him gone!! I am definitely looking forward
to him coming back. So this is how it affects me. President had a few changes
he had to make due to this circumstance. One of the changes was that he called
one of the elders from the other companionship in my city to go Secretary, and
he asked me to replace his spot as District Leader. So, I'm still in the same
city, but in a different companionship. My new companion is Elder Ch from Utah!
He is 2 transfers older than I am, but we both are getting along super well and
we are excited to be together. Ha ha, it's so funny that this happened, I was
just getting settled in with the other elders and their investigators, and now
I have to move and start over anew. Fun things happen while you're on a mission
:)
So that's basically the big thing
that happened for me this week. I got to go up to Budapest to drop off Elder L
and I got to have interviews with President, which was so awesome!! He has been
such a great help for me with my questions and personal trials that I have been
going through with the work and everything. We also got to talk about Heather
for a little bit. He pointed to the board of new missionaries and said 'Do any
of them look familiar to you?' 'Ummm....are you hinting to that girl that's on
the board that says Heather Magda?' 'That's right! She'll be coming in this
next June! We are so excited for her to arrive.' And so am I!!!! I think I may
be more excited than president! Seeing her picture on the board brought so much
excitement and enthusiasm! Plus she will be entering the MTC this Wednesday!!!
WWWWWWHHHHAAAAAATTTTT?!?!?! Ohhhh she is going to have SOOO much fun!! She has
to let me know how everything is going in the MTC and who her teachers are. I
wonder if she will have the same ones as I had. Get ready to wear that 'Red
dot' your first day :) Just 9 weeks and she will be in Hungary with her nephew,
Magda Elder!
Alrighty, that's all I can write for
today. Oh, almost forgot, SPRING IS HERE!!!! I can wear short sleeved white
shirts again!! It's truly a miracle. :)
I love you all! And here is my motto
for the week
And it came to pass also, that he caused the title of liberty to be hoisted upon every tower which was in all the
land...
Hoist
those banners for all to see! Let them wave with pride! Let all see who you
stand for, who you fight for.
Sincerely,
Magda
Elder
