Mother and family,
First things first, the package was wonderful. I know how
much work you put into getting those things together and getting it shipped, so
I really appreciate for still helping me out even though I am so far away...
Provo far away. I really can't remember what you wrote me in the package at
this moment so I will answer those questions. I do remember what you wrote
about Grandma and Grandpa, and can I say I am grateful for them. Their prayers
are working. The Hungarian language is coming really fast. I can't wait to be
the ösi.
The days are blending together now. I cannot remember the different days very well. Everything has become very habitual and the same. I did teach my first lesson without memorizing Hungarian lines. As in, I just went in and spoke Hungarian. It is cool, I know.
Sunday was yet again my favorite day. For the devotional
Jenny Oaks Baker came. She is the daughter of Elder Oaks, and is a professional
violinist who has done it all. So for the devotional she gave little thoughts
and then played beautiful (gyönyörü) Violin solos. Oh they were beautiful. She
was amazing. She then had her four kids, ten and younger play piano, guitar,
cello, and violin. They were better than I ever wish to be. It was way cool.
This last week I have also learned a lot about Hungary.
Things like it is way hot in the Summers so you sweat through your tie, and
there is no air conditioning basically anywhere, so it is always hot. Also one
of their favorite things to eat is pig fat with spices. (I forgot what it is
called) And they do the kissy thing in which missionaries are supposed to
avoid. It is going to be way fun.
The three new things that happened today is I got a haircut.
It something different so I enjoyed it. If you really want to know it looks
like it always does. The other thing is the ösi started consencration week
today. All Hungarian for them. I have already gone and talked to them. They
still know words I do not know, which is good. The other thing is my good
friend Tanner Pierce from college came today. He is going to Albania and is in
my Zone. It is going to be fun to have someone I will see from home a lot.
szeretettel,
Decker elder
Figure out what this means and I'll praise you :)

Knowing how to say it would be even better. We kind of say it
a lot.
