OUR FINAL SENIOR CONFERENCE

After returning from Kiev we picked up our car and headed to Szeged.  All of the senior couples were meeting there for senior conference.   This will be the last senior conference for us and the Oldham's. We will both be heading home in August.
We met at the Szeged chapel for some missionary training.  Each of the Senior couples shared some missionary experiences and talked about miracles they have seen.  The Lord is truly watching over us and helping us in our missionary efforts.  Sister Peterson and I were able to give a short report on our Eger members and shared our testimony of the work here in Hungary.  We feel so much love for the people here.
That evening we worked with Elder and Sister Lund to do a humanitarian service project.  We put together 500 hygiene kits to be distributed at the Hungary/Serbia border the next day.  The refugees coming from middle eastern countries have a big need as they come into these camps.
On Saturday we went to Ópusztazer, an open air museum near Szeged.  It is a beautiful place where we learned much about Hungarian history.  The day was caped off by a horse show featuring the ridding and fighting skills of the Magyar.
