Friday, December 27 2013: Last night I loaded most of the car with boxes and bags. We finished topping it off this morning and headed off to Bekescsaba about 8:30. At 10:00 we met the Elders at the branch house for District meeting. I got a very good report from each companionship on the investigators they are working with and their status. Our DL, Elder Mc gave us some training on charity and we set some new goals. After the meeting we all walked to a local hamburger shop and got sandwiches to go and came back to the branch house for lunch. At 1:00 the owner of our new apartment come to the branch house and gave Win and I each a set of keys. We reviewed a couple of points in the contract that needed clarification before she left. Two of the Elders had to leave for a program so the other two rode their bikes to our new apartment and helped us unload the car. The landlady left a nice box of chocolates for us in the apartment. Win and I stayed there another 30 minutes and wiped down shelves and unboxed a few things. Then we went back to the branch house so Elder Mc and I could go to the bank and the posta to pay the branch internet bill. We were disappointed to find out the bank and the posta were both closed today. Win used the sewing machine at the branch house to repair a pair of pants for one of the Elders in Szeged while we were gone. A former missionary who served for a time in Bekescsaba stopped by the building to say hello and he took a picture of our district and the branch young women’s president before we drove back to Szeged.

At 7:10 PM we got an email introducing us to our new granddaughter! What an incredible Christmas week this has been for us. 8 lbs 12 oz., Erica and the baby are doing great. The cooking queen of Szeged now has a baker’s dozen of grandchildren.
