családom és anyukám,
First of all, I am sorry I forgot again to tell you this
week is transfers and p.day is now on Tuesday. I am still not used to it,
because p-day is usually on Monday.
Hey, before I start anything, I will talk about mother's
day. I am totally planning on calling you, I just really don't know anything
that is going on right now with that. Why? This week is not only mother's day,
but also transfers. (I am getting transfered) I couldn't tell you when I would
call you until I knew if I was leaving or not today. So I am leaving tomorrow
to serve in Pécs. It is supposed to be the prettiest place in the mission, so I
am pretty stoked, plus I will be serving with a missionary that I really like,
named elder Lynch, and I am going senior. It will be quite a change. Anyway, I
called them up and they haven't planned anything about calling, so I am getting
them to plan it out today so that hopefully later today I will email again to
you, to tell you when and what we will be doing. From what I heard we will be
able to skype, so we will see. I guess just wait for my next email.
Your favorite hungarian missionary is doing really well. we have had a blast together, and I will miss serving with hm.
We do have bikes, and we did ride them, and they are pieces
of junk, and it is pretty hilly here... You know how Matt always got his random
fun, possibly effective and good ideas, that seem a little far fetched, but
they usually worked out, and he was really cool for it?
Elder Ábrók is like that. He has always wanted to try out
the scooter thing, because it is fast, and you can still use the bus, and so
forth. So we are using scooters.

I can't believe all these young people are going on
missions. Our first group of really young people will be by next fall. It will
be so weird being 2 years older than all of them. I will be super old compared
to most of the mission by the time I go home.
Alright some cool things happened.
First thing... WE FOUND A FAMILY!!!
We tracted into this super kind, super awesome woman this
last week.
We taught her a super good lesson, and then we told her
she needed to pray about it. So when we met yesterday, she had prayed!! And she
got a really concrete answer. She said she was completely at peace for two
days, so said her husband noticed the change, and now her husband wants to meet
with us. She has a kid, and she is an English teacher, and I won't be able to
continue to teach to them. Not cool. Oh well.
But I have now found a family in my mission.
Taught the black guy again!!! He is also super cool. We
got him to realize the importance of Christ's church, and he is really loving
it.
He is fun to talk to and a very spiritual person, and I
am pretty sure he will get baptized. I don't know if he will be baptized here
in Hungary, but when he goes back to Nigeria, I believe he will.
This last week was Stake conference. I only mention this
because of what they talked about a ton. They talked a ton about the importance
of family, and how money is not important. Weird right? Hungary is in a pretty
bad economic stance right now, and people are going crazy trying to get work,
and trying to get money. We ask this question a lot from people, "Mi okoz
neked boldogságot az életben?" What causes you to be happy in life? A lot of people answer, "money". So
the stake really attacked that this last weekend, about realizing what is the
priority. They also slipped tithing into there as well. Overall, I think this
is so true, people are so worried about getting gain, and getting stuff, they
forget their families, and God. Pay your tithing, and you will be ok, Trust In
God.
I will miss Veszprém. I have learned a ton here, and I
have put a ton of work into it. It will be nice to restart and learn to love
new people. my work is going really well, and I am loving my time here in Hungary
a ton. God helps me every day by giving me comfort and strength for every new
day. I really hope you all have a nice week.
Hopefully I will see you all this week end.
sok szeretettel
Decker elder
