Found an Apartment, Broke Nose, Gastritis

Trev’s Email 10-11-10

hey just at mcdonalds, if you ever get this..going to the doctor today to figure out what this stomach thing is..i dont think its
lactose intolerancy, i dont think i could live without milk. we will see what it is.. got your letters, they were awesome!

(I told him that Tyler thinks his chest pain is associated with stress as he has the same kind of thing.) haha welcome to the mission... stress. ya it definitely could be.... we have found our apartment and its wayyyy nice!!! it has a loft thing, like one room below, and we sleep upstairs, and the kitchen and stuff is open and below it... we want to sign the papers today and get going today, but it might be another day or something.... when i eat more its a little more painful, and when i say pain, its like a pressure so dont get all worried! haha but its gotta get fixed, and please promise me that when i get home, we can get my nose fixed, where i hit is flat....and bulges out.... today im going to the doctor at 12:30, my nose did break, it might not have shown it on the xrays but it is misshapen....


ill get back on to let you know what i find out at the drs.... i seem to get dizzy a lot more whenever i stand up, ill ask about that too.... looks like your on....

yeah, the chest stuff isnt what im concerned about, its the stomach thing, if i push on it, it hurts, like under my ribs to my belly button so, im expecting some tests and what not today. thanks for the pictures, i cant believe its fall already! and the lake has turned into the small fall lake. The cabin looks awesome! wow! can you get like a large picture of the new and improved area that they cleaned up? like the south side from the east... SAWEET STORY DAD!!! haha i still have a hard time believing you pulled the trigger of a gun in the direction of a deer haha where was that before my mish??? haha when you get on i want lots and lots of pictures!! hey can you resend the spider bull picture in an attachment? i cant get it off the email to see it....

well, the work. our numbers were really low because we were searching for an apartment all week, normally they take 3 to 4 weeks to find, so we got lucky! but we had a few old old records and called a few and one kid who was taught one time 2 years ago wanted to meet the next day, not too bad huh? well he only met them like one time, i have no idea why they even made a teaching record for him but yeah, he seems like he wants to explore divinity i guess is how you would say it... haha here our English class is what gets us connected to people, the street is hard to use, but we pass out english class fliers and some people will stop instantly, read it again, wonder how this could be free, walk down the street, call us, asking if its really free, then they ask how, then we tell them, and repeat, the questions 4 to 5 times.... haha

(Lynn told Richard about an article in LDS Times about the church in Hungary so we passed it along to Trev.) i read a little bit of the Hungary thing you sent me, Bishop Balatoni is our bishop. I just presented a Project Referral and he is gonna get it going. We need to use the members so much! this place is huge! we shouldnt even need to do finding, the members should do it for us!!!oh ya, i saw a guy with that jacket on!!! WHAT THE HECK???? GRANTSVILLE UTAH??? i guess there are used american and england clothing stores all over but how insane?!?!

i want a mission where we kept the rules and do our best but missions are unfortunately a lot different than what people imagine. I still try to do everything a little better than the rules that we are given.

yes i am happy, a little nervous about the stomach thing but all in all its in the Lords hands. I just finished Genesis, Joseph was betrayed, enslaved, built up, broke down and put in prison for 2 years and then, when his brothers came he said, the lord brought me here to save you. I am to the point that i will go anywhere the Lord needs me. No matter what, it will be for my good and in some way for others as well. "I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord" whatever happens, happens. I could complain, and then i think about Job. Or Joseph, and then the one who took it all, our Savior. He knows, how we feel, and he knows what to do to make us grow, all we can do is give Him our will. Thats all we have, use our will to govern our choices and love and work harder to become the person He wants us to be. It will all work out in the end. Joseph was quite impressive.... when his brothers said, we are sorry, he said, no, the Lord needed me here and though it was hard, and infact, evil doing, i needed to be here to save your lives and the lives of those in Egypt.

Now that is what we would call, the big picture. What a perspective....

the A1 rocks!!! i found out that missionaries use it for what we call sajt nite (shite night) Sajt is cheese,



we just make it like arbys cheese sticks but i forgot it when we went over to the other elders apartment so we will save it for the first sajt nite in our new apartment but



you better believe i have already put it in my pasta haha oh by the way, the cheese didnt bug me, i didnt eat a lot but it didnt bug me, so yeah. and thanks, because as you can see, its muffed up, my nose is. I love the hoodie, told bow thanks, i love it, so simple and i can represent for REAL FOOTBALL!!!!hahaha sooo comfortable too!!! did you ever get teh email i sent from MCdonads???? i sent one this morning too







yeah, it wont stop me haha its just a huge comfort knowing that it will get fixed when i get home... i still get some headaches that i think are from the fall haha but i did just fall into a cement corner of a wall.... :)
we live right by Margit bridge, but we are moving obviously, and we are really close to parliment but they are doing reconstruction on the bridge so really flawless pictures are hard to capture.... but still wayyyy cool, parliment, buda castle, and i think its Saint István Church, not sure but its something cool and important hahaha

I feel a little stale in the language, since we havent proselyted much, but it will move. We gotta go but write some more stuff, becuase will get back on to let you know what happens at the doctor...

LOVE YA

I found out i might have gastritis.... basically the inside of my stomach is inflamed and when food pushes on it, it makes everything worse and aggravates it.... so lots of smaller meals, and this stuff to take, not sure what it is? but yeah. Didnt get into the apartment.... hopefully by friday, but we dont have to worry about it now... we can just find people... :) wahoo!!!

bye Love ya.

In Pest... HUNTING Apartments!

October 4, 2010
Email from Trev…
Um, hahaha we are eating very blandly right now, because we have to find a new apartment to move into, ours is that bad.... yeah, so we are keeping it basic, cooking is rare in there haha long story, but yeah, i love serving with bouck and its like B owe k.... oh went to the DR gave me antibiotics, could just be a stomach bacteria that lingered or something... but thats doing fine right now. Im not lactose intolerant, the heart things have went away completely.
Yeah, we are pretty good as a companionship, ive read everything, did you get my email from mcdonalds??? (Comp's name)Same name, Trevor haha we have decided President did this because we had the same names.... Pres does that a lot hahaha
(Hope you enjoy the pictures) Im sure i will! it looked good, from what i saw, i try to not look til night time, sorry but you wont be getting a letter from me til we find a new apartment, hahaha so unorganized and just, ugh, so this will be interesting trying to find apartments with our young hungarian skills hahahaha
Hows life at home? Tyler? Angie? Jared? Trisha? where are they???? hows the business doing? jareds health? is angie reading her scriptures????.... well tell her (Angie) to email me! DANG!
Ya know, tyler could atleast take some cool pictures or something and send them to me....
No, i havent heard one thing from tyler! i mean like when he goes sledding he could send me some pics or some news on the biggest badest something? it wouldnt kill him to write something.

Package taken care of.... will be with me tomorrow.... no troubles at all.... pretty funny infact....
i will have to buy a coat very soon.... not sure how much exactly but definitely not anymore than 100 haha i went to the Chinese Market, its all totally black market, but its awesome haha bought a beanie and sadly found more hoodies than i could ever buy..... im really sorry, i looked absolutely everywhere for one in Pápa....
We got them (Conference) in English and got them this week because we are in Budapest but not the last session, it was too late, how did you like Uchtdorfs????? You might be asking yourself, now thats great and all but what does that have to do with airplanes???? hahahahahahaha

The Doc said that it could or could have been just a bacteria from any food and instead of normally lasting a few days it somehow lingered... but yeah, My comp has the same name as me, and hes a month younger than me... hahah hes from Texas, the blonde in the back, if i forgot to tell you... blue eyes.... whatnot. but yeah, my face is fine it was kinda marred for a day or 2 but just like rug burns and are going away now.
I dont really know what to talk about, i wasnt gonna tell you but for lack of things to talk about.... Tuesday, i stood up, blacked out and fell face first into a wall .... the corner, thought it was broke went to Budapest a day early (transfers) and got it xrayed but its all good, but it was hard at the time to deal with, sooooo many health problems!!!! what the heck? ive never had problems like this in my life before!!
What about the cabin? Jeff sent me some pictures of some bulls and other stuff, havent looked yet.... i need a picture of the spider bull.
Dad where you going for the Muzzy hunt?? Jeff said youll go out Wed?! You better get something big!!! so i can see the pictures of it! Why did you put the shell on the truck? (Richard told him that there are no deer to shoot) well of course there are no deer there, thats why i left and came here!!! hahaha :P no we are in ours (an apartment that is so bad they have to find another) but just living as basic and messily as possible hahaha no organization whatsoever.... haha we cant unpack!!!
(Richard said he would write and tell him about the hunt) Sweet, cant wait! Make sure and take a while and write a really cool detailed story about it hahahaha sorry i dont have any pictures, my camera is dead, i have some wayyyyy sweet pictures of the Danube and parliment and BUda Castle but itll have to wait :)
Google search, Spider Bull, click one, right click the large image, save, go to downloads, attach.
Yeah, hahaha my nose will have a little scar on it but its mostly like face burns, no stitches, all good and in order. Yeah i was studying, stood up, went to my pull up bar, got a little dizzy, black, i remember scrambling or something, and unconsciously realizing i got hit, saw my comp run over top of me telling me not to move, i thought i was fine til i realized i had hit something or done something hahaha but im all good now...
I dont really have much else to say, we have to find a new apartment, havent unpacked, we were told not to. i can send you a picture of my face next week if the McDonalds one doesnt go through.... i sent it at like 7 here. but didnt go play ball, went to the chinese market, and bought a beanie and a tie for 5 bucks.... haha its sooooo Ghetto over there, like i could come home and go to detroit and feel fine hahahaha its not dangerous, just poor and broken down, and we watched 3 tinted black Mercedes pull out of it, hahahaha TOTALLY mafia business, buying and selling hahahahaha they just have their own rats steal things and sell them in the market, i was gonna take a picture but they would take my camera haha

I didnt really get that dizyy til i started walking haha sorry!!! BUt hey i gotta go and concentrate on finding an apartment hahaha i love you all, got an email from Coach, sent one back, responded instantly, really cool to hear from him.

White Washing w/GREENIE FIRE in PEST w/Bourk!!!!

Trev’s Email September 27th, 2010
I am online, i will probably be back online today, some here and now, a little later to finish up... I have a ton of intense news to tell you!!!!

Well, today is the day we found out about transfers... we usually are informed by the APs.... Pres Baughman calls this morning to talk to Caviness, about him getting a new comp and that they are gonna go back to the old style of Comp ZLs.... i asked when will i know where im going, comp said, the aps will call.... 15 minutes later, Pres B calls again, i pick up he asks, “Is this Elder Hansen? i say yes, he says, "Would you like to know where you are going???” “YES!!”

“Well, you’re going to be with Elder Bouck.....”
“Bouck?!!?” (he was the group above me in the MTC (Trev’s Ancient) ...) I said, “really... wow...” (Elder Bouck would be the blond in the center back of this picture) He said, “Your going to Pest... to white wash....” yeah. There havent been missionaries there for a while.... so its reopening... we are the youngest companionship in the mission... wow..... NERVOUSNESS!!!!! but i get the stake center!!! to play ball in!!! YEEEAHH!!!!
When did you send the package?? we will see, they are very strict here.... it might not work out unless it comes tomorrow...
So from now on til i am transferred, send everything to the mission home ok??? because its a trax ride away, we will be there a lot... (There is a package in the mail to Papa)Um the last package you sent took only 7 days! we will try and figure something out.... we will ask the Posta place.... but yeah, crazy stuff!!! the stomach thing is still happening... they have me on an antacid and high fiber diet to see if thats what it is.... but i will be in Budapest to see the doctor very easily if i need to and its an american clinic so haha its a nice place...

Its nothing to freak out about, i have contacts with Sister Baughman, she is taking really good care of me... she talks to the Mission Area Dr and he said try this, so we are just checking it out so far... but i get like gut pains like you do when you run but they dont last and hurt like they would if you were exhausted... so yeah, things are good just taking it easy on what i eat, tons and tons of fiber.... so no big deal, i have WAY bigger things to worry about..... IM WHITEWASHING IN MY 3RD TRANSFER WITH MY ナ心I!!!!!! (ANCIENT)

Is dad up? where are my huntin stories??? will they come late??? im trying to get the call down but its hard!!!! could you send me a video or sound of an elk bugling??? my comp has never heard it before... that is a must for every human to hear!! we will be back on later to finish up so i can get it then?
well... im sooo nervous! ah we are sooo young and we are whitewashing!!!!

gotta go, catch ya later, tell jeff to write back. and everyone else too, thanks for the pictures love them!!!

Elder Hansen

cool, whats going on??

So did you send me a sweet huntin story in the mail yet? how have the hunts been, i heard there were some records, pictures? hey i need a picture of the Spider Bull, a few mission buddies like to hunt but have never seen it and i wanna show them...
No we are not opening it, we are white washing it, it has been closed for a transfer, i had to stay in the apartment already during the training conference a month ago... so they kept it, the beds are terrible but i have an air matress and they might have left the nice nice foam pads there that we slept on... This is a really unusual thing, white washing.... 3rd and 5th transfer.... hahaha someone has a lot more trust and confidence in me than me..... hahahaha oh well, ill learn to speak... thats for sure!
Ok Dad, remember, for every buck you kill, thats one you have to kill when i get home!!! haha hey send me a picture of my bow will you? connecting to people through stuff like that makes real friends.... its really hard to leave Pápa, Zsolt, that one guy that came to church and stuff, we are really really tight with his family, we are so close. He makes things up to bend over backward for us! haha Him and his wife came to the conference in Szombathely yesterday!!! I still havent told any of the members, there are a few who im really close with, Piroska, is like my mom here, haha and i also have another mom.... haha sorry, i gotta take what i can get while i dont have MY mom here...
Ok, i will be in my 3rd transfer... ok, he will be in his 5th... white washing means that they took both missionaries out and put new ones in, so all we have to go by is what is left in the area book, we will do a lot of finding and i heard the members give tons of referrals.... so white wash is 2 out 2 in, normally, its one comp at a time that is moved out and what not... but ya... CRAZY!!
Elder Bouck, from Texas, he was in the MTC with me, so pictures on my computer will be there he has blonde hair, round face, stockier... not my group the group just above me... so yeah, thats him, im excited to use our "Greeny Fire" and serve together. Im way excited!
Ok, is the family good? whats going on? you got any questions? are you finding me girls to date (mom)? hahaha or write, karlie wrote again, it was nice to get another from her...
My back is doing great, that pull up bar is amazing!!! i forgot to answer that, sorry...
OK, well i gotta go, so dont forget, everything to the mission office address unless i tell you otherwise, because i will get it eventually no matter where im at.... but for now, since im in the same city, just send it all there.... um..... yup, thats all i got....

I love you all sooo much!!! and yes, i can feel your hug, did you get my letters yet???

Love Elder Hansen

Ok she has to be cute, at least cute enough to write haha keep looking! Angie... Where is she???
yes i sent you two letters in one envelope.... i hope it gets to you all.... i love you all so much, it will come this week for sure... it can be anywhere from 7 to 10 days....

LOVE YA'LL!!!!

Mailed Letters: "I feel my Grandpas with me..."

September 20, 2010
Dear Mom,
I’m sitting in the branch house. It’s a really really nice day outside; cold crisp fall day, sun is shining, and I just feel really happy. I got the package Friday, the letters, today? beats me. Thank you for everything. You truly are an amazing Mother. I feel your love all the time.
Yesterday, we went tracting. Yeah, after 2 very success filled splits I finally got my comp to tract and street. But we found a lady and knocked on her door, she opened it and had a remote in her hand as if it were a sword or some kind of weapon (ha!) and she said, “Ha!”, like “I got ya!” and laughed and we talked for a few seconds, said she was Atheist but would like to talk, like “why not, you two are nice, sure!” Talked and taught and I shared the story about ___ being Atheist for 14 years and how it turned around in one day. And yes, I did this in Hungarian! I got a lot of help. It was so smooth, just like I had felt a few times in the MTC where I didn’t think, it just came from my heart. The spirit was there! I knew she was feeling it too because I saw her countenance change. She agreed to read and pray. She figured, why not. She answered her own question, “we gotta have faith to find it out.”
That was very uplifting for me. It has been had a hard transfer, ha. As missionaries we need a solid understanding of rules, and why they are there.
I’ve been on two splits this transfer. One kid is from Bulgaria, by Russia, he knows like 8 languages including Arabic… He is a good missionary, we found 5 people that day. The most recent is from Idaho/Wyoming, Kunz. Loves to hunt and works hard. It was so nice to talk with someone about hunting, finally! My comp has a Hungarian bow and thinks he’s pretty Magyar vadász, (Hungarian Hunter) but has never hunted in his life. He says he loves the Hungarians more than any missionary, but didn’t bother to learn the language. Says he speaks more like a regular Hung than anyone else, but tell that to my ears and brain when he double accuses or doesn’t accuse ever! Ahh! I will show them that I more than love them. I appreciate them, and am willing to learn it right out of respect and honor.
I really love Pápa. By the way it’s, Pá (áh!) puh, like apple. So I found out that Agi, really, technically is Ahgi. Because in Debrecen (this is where Agi, our backyard neighbor is from. Her parents, not yet members, live. Agi, Aaron and their family are now in Switzerland), they have an accent, and it’s in Pápa too where they don’t say like cat they just deepen it and hold it out longer haha. Which can be very confusing for non-native speakers to understand because that can mean 2 different things; hat-6 or hát- well…
So yeah. Thank you so much for the leaves! And the dirt (pine chips, from clearing the land on the mountain). My comp thinks I’m nuts. He pretty much hates pine trees. He’s from Washington and lives in the pines. Something about being here has made me such a Patriot. I love our Country. And I’m becoming more and more of a Hick, haha… I can’t get enough of the outdoors. That is why I need animal pictures, old ones even! It doesn’t matter; elk, deer, sheds! Hunting trips. They help me wind down sometimes, very relaxing. Well, I’m gonna go email you ….Now
I love you so much. You can share with Dad, vise versa.
Sok Szretettel,
Elder Hansen

Dear Dad,
How are you? I’m just chillin’ on my bed, it’s just before 10 p.m. It was nice to talk to you today. I’m excited to have a hoodie to wear and sleep in. haha I have looked and looked but they are all either way expensive or just terrible looking, like not something a missionary should wear…
Today was nice to rest. I didn’t want to go on an excursion today and my comp, I think, wasn’t thrilled about it but I needed a day to power down and recharge. I’m trying to get the elk calling down but it’s hard! I hear familiar sounds and similarities in it as I try but can’t get it consistent. Any tips? Top of mouth, where is the tongue and what does it do?
My comp thinks I’m insane I’ll smell the pine bough (wrapped in a bag) or the chips from time to time. Haha. I think the mission is turning me into a big hick. The things I liked at home are magnified like crazy! I like dropping by the hunting sore once in a while to take a look, again. I’m gonna buy a couple hunting videos before I come home, it should be fun to watch because they still hunt very traditionally. Ha
Missions are special, Dad. I feel so protected and uplifted. I can honestly say that I feel my grandpas with me almost constantly. I know they are with me. It’s great to feel that family comfort and security so far away from you all. I really am trying so hard to do my best here. It’s been a harder transfer but it will be for my good. I have seen what things I don’t want to be. My comp skipped everything in the language and tried to learn like a baby would. It didn’t and doesn’t work. We’re too old for that to work. As it goes, “Victory Requires Payment in Advance”.
My back has been doing great since I got that pull up bar. I don’t really worry about it anymore. It’s way nice and therapeutic to hang for a few seconds here and there.
Today was a good day. Nice crisp bright fall morning. It made me feel so happy.
We met with the Piroskaé, today, Recent converts, SO strong, Mom and daughter. We cooked a little with them. It was just a way fun. I talked a lot, and we laughed a lot. Those are the little battles that go the furtherest.
She (Piroska) helped me along with her daughter and son who isn’t a member, yet, when I was sick. Amazing people!
Tomorrow we go on splits again. I stay in Pápa :) I love splits!
I have decided to actually get serious about reading the Bible. I read a few little things in the book of Psalms and Proverbs. Now that’s fantastic writing! Wow. That would make me an amazing song writer! I read in a Liahona, about a tail guide in Asia somewhere who compared us to mountains. Building Mountains, Awesome! Neil A Maxwell said in short, “How can we guide naively through life asking for experience but not wading through sorrow, not being abandoned.” Because to be like Christ we will have to experience much of what He did.
Well it’s time, I love you. Please share what you would like with mom. Especially about my Grandpas…
Much Love,
Elder Hansen

Things Are Good - 9-13-10

Things are good. Hows the family?

I think im just growing. I feel taller, like i cant bend over for things like i used to, or maybe its just my ubersensitivity to my back.... im still about 170... but the missionary mall shirts make me look like a little kid... its pretty bad... and they dont stay tucked in... I got your letter (mom) and i got your letter a week ago (dad) that was printed, not exactly sure what it said.

Its been cloudy for 2 weeks... im kinda sick of it... not gonna lie...

My health is good, im still fighting my back... i got these Chi Herbal patches that you put on your feet when you sleep and they take the toxins out of your body, they are white when you put them on and black in the morning... haha so maybe that will help improve healing... the acid thing is pretty much gone, i feel it once in a while but not really... My goal is to get my back muscles so strong that my spine wont have to do anything haha so im working into strengthening my back and a lot of abs and just exercising... i hate that i have to bother with this... its ridiculous.... i just wanna be a normal kid...i just want it gone so i can put my mind to other things!!!

Yeah the shirts i have that arent missionary mall are good, the long sleeve missionary mall are ok but the short sleeve are terrible... haha hold off on sending them, we are going into winter so yeah.... were you planning on sending a package? sometime in the future?

(We let him know we sent one from Richfield on Friday…packed with a ton of candy so he was not to expect one for Halloween!!!)

Alright, sounds good! cant wait for the package, i am gonna have to buy a hoodie here today, its starting to be fall haha and i didnt bring a hoodie with me, hey for Christmas, send them to the Mission home, and surprise me but.... i would like A1 sauce hahahahahaha i miss it...

Oh yeah, had a little cold the last few days, but im pretty much over it now...

well, went on splits, 5 finds in 3 hours! so hopefully my comp will realize we need to tract and street... but yeah, still working on Zsolt, that one guy, met with his whole family again, they need this church, life is just so much better with it... everything else is meaningless, because it cant last... and hope for tomorrow doesnt exist, i watch people on the street and realize that they are scared. What will tomorrow bring? And why? Why? WE KNOW WHY!!!! its so sad to watch, i can tell that they have no direction or goal in life.... its sad. i wish they were more open, the difference between members and nonmembers here is seen much easier.

Hey send me some more pictures, like especially of Elk and Deer and the cabin, Elder Smith has your email now mom, to get in touch with you to go to the cabin sometime...It was in the letter, and He is at school at BYU right now so hes there in Utah... he will email you if he wants to go.

hey so did tyler sale his sleds???

(Trev had uploaded some pictures on Walmart and one stuck out ... so we wrote: "we already peeked and loved the fuzzy Bomber hat you found...or did IT find You?")
haha that was at szent endre, didnt buy it, i will wait to buy stuff like that till about my year mark haha that piles up fast...

see ya later....
Love ya!!!!

Hello???? Email-Sept 6, 2010

(We were having some problems with the internet again today and used texting from the cell a couple of times. Trev told us he has been having some problems with what sounds like to us, acid reflux or heart burn. Trev said, "I have never been in health like this my entire life!!!! what the heck is going on???" He could use our prayers not just for his health but to prepare and find those ready to hear the gospel. I had just received a copy of Elder Elder's email to his mom so I forwarded it to Trev.)

Oh Rean Jean... haha i havent heard from him or trevor or morgan yet!!!! what the heck? haha wicks wrote quick.... i will write back, he sent the letter the 30th and i got it today haha wow!!!
At the training in Budapest (3 days) i met Elder Hintze.... He was from Kaysville.... and knows Trevor personally... apparently the LeBarons are a famous family there... haha he was on Trevors city league ball team...

Our investigator wasnt able to go to church, went to his house to eat, met his whole family, he is still good as ever but we gotta get him to church and show him the entire truth and get his family in on it!

ok just uploaded a bunch of pictures... so take a look, you have seen a lot already, i feel kinda bad that you wont get a sweet surprise when i get home, like you have already seen all of my pictures, but i guess i will just get to actually explain them :) let me know....

ok sounds good. hows the family??? Jeff wrote me and gave me a sweet description of a hunt with the tines up boys... you wanna send me a sweet huntin shirt when you send a package? it was cool to read it....

Sometimes i miss hunting but i really love this place, even though they do some ridiculous stuff here hahahaha the work is difficult here... we have no one progressing, and ultimately, we have no one to teach, so we find, but my comp is super negative and im kinda sick of it.... thats just how Pápa is, its small, ya know? we just gotta work hardER... he isnt a fan of language study, or exactness.... i am. and i thank my trainer for that.... he really was awesome.... i was just in a dumb ornery mood when i got here haha i told him to go to the cabin so ill give him your number if he wants to go for a day, its the least i could do, he helped me so much and showed me how to really work and care. and speak! my comp cant speak very well.... no wonder since he doesnt like language study... i have to help him sometimes... and i should correct him constantly but what ever... haha

well i gotta go, tell the grandkids to email! Jacis letter was awesome! Hows everyone?? keep praying.

OHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so i found out... that PENNSYLVANIA LOOKS JUST LIKE HUNGARY!!!! A MEMBER MY COMP KNOWS SAID THAT.... HE SAID ITS THE CLOSEST THING TO HUNGARY HE HAS SEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD..... SO TELL AMBER WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE, STRANGE NEW LAND, BUT THE SAME HAHAHA

i actually gotta go...so i love you all!!!!

LOVE YALL
