Today was an emotional day for us. This was our last Sunday, for now, attending this branch. Just like the young elders and sisters it is hard to say goodbye to those you have grown to love, through serving. The Erd branch will always hold a special place in our hearts that we will never forget.
The primary today was visited by a special guest. Santa dropped in to say Ho Ho Ho. He dropped off some little gift bags that would fit in their shoes.
On December 6th, the Hungarians celebrate 'Mikulás Nap', or "St Nicholas day". The tradition is that Santa comes and puts candy and small toys in your shoes. Or, if you have been bad you will get a stick in your shoe. We like the idea that Santa Claus's coming is separate from December 25th. On Christmas day we need to remember the birth of our Savior more. In Hungary, angles or Christ brings the gifts on Christmas day.
