Ahoj!

Well im on a Slovak keyoard right now so dont judge me for how my
writing is going to look today. All of the szmbols are in different
places and the "z" and "y" are switched... haha so yeah.

This week has been really cool! I finally brought my camera to the
library todaz but I cant figure out how to upload mz photos,
especailly when its in Slovak! Ill keep trzing and will get all of you
some great looks at Slovakia.

So this past week I went to hungary! Holy cow! I was probably onlz
about four hours awaz from the other Elder Lyman! Nitra is pretty
close to the boarder but when we go out to see the Majtans we are onlz
about 30 minutes awaz from it. Hes been wanting to take us to this one
town that he said is just amaying but we couldnt because we needed to
get permission from our president. We asked President McConkie at our
last training-- about a 1.5 weeks ago-- and he said zes! The very next
day we went across the boarder with into Hungarz with Brat Majtan, his
mother, and his son Akoš! The town is called Esztergom and it use to
be the capital of Hungary at one point... if my Slovak is correct,
haha! You should look it up. Itĺs amaying and we went to the gigantic
Cathedral and Castle there at the top of one of the hills. it was so
cool and the Majtans are just so nice and paid for us to tour some of
the areas-- despite how much we tried to decline the offer. It was a
really good chancce for us to start talking and getting to know Akoš
more as well! Hes 17 and very smart, he taught himself how to speak
English over the computer! We didnt talk with him about anz of the
gospel but we could tell that he really liked us. We went back after
about 1.5 hours and ate dinner at there house and taught the more
about commandments-- Akoš listened.

This last fridaz was Slovakias halloween basically. Its called All
Saints Day or "Day of the Dead." What they do is that everzone
decorates all of their ancestors graves with tons of flowers and A LOT
of candles. Then at night everzone goes and tours the gravezards with
their family. We have a big graveyard near our apartment and spent
about 30 minutes taking photos and looking around--it was really cool!
I wish that I could show all of you the photos... i cant even figure
out how to make a frowny face with this keyboard haha.

Oh yeah and heres a funny thing... the ATM stole mz missionarz debit
card! I was trzing to check out some monez and was delazed in pushing
a certain button so it just took it and wouldnt give it back! ATMs
here do that i guess so now i need to call the mission office and
explain that i need to order a new debit card... im a little scared.

Well Im out of time so Ill write to more in a week!

Ahoj!
