Another wonderful and busy week in the mission field.
It was a hot week as the temperature climbed above 90 degrees. Another excuse to get an ice cream cone. On those hot days you can find most everyone on the streets licking an ice cream. We have to pace ourselves as to not over do. :):) The problem is you try another flavor and it becomes your new best flavor.
We had three very busy days in the office before the painters came in on Thursday and Friday. We took the opportunity on Thursday to drive out to Lake Balaton. A beautiful lake on the western side of the country where most of the Hungarians take their summer vacation. The landscape was rolling green hills and turquoise blue water. There were plenty of quaint little villages and shops along the way.
Saturday we spent the day preparing for and enjoying the Seminary and Institute graduation. They came from all over the country of Hungary to receive their recognitions. Afterward we had a "Farewell Party" for President and Sister Smith and Elder and Sister Bagozzi hosted by the YSA.
That evening we took a beautiful stroll down "Vaci" street and across the Danube river to watched the lights of the city turn on. We enjoyed watching all of the ships that traveled up and down the river. What a beautiful sight and a perfect ending to a busy week.
