We had the Senior Missionary Conference at the Mission Home in Budapest. Here is a picture of some great people in front of the Parliment Building, in Budapest. They serve in various cities in Hungary. They were so energetic and full of great ideas. We are all in one way or another Member Leadership Support. It did my heart good to speak English to a bunch of women and actually understand their reply.
We were in Budapest for two days. We also walked up Gellért Hill. It received it's name after Bishop Gellért who came to Hungary from Italy around 1000 AD. King St. Stephen invited him to help convert the Hungarians to Christianity. Some resisting pagans rolled him down the hill in a barrel into the Danube River in 1046AD. They drove nails into the barrel before they rolled it down the hill.
These pictures were taken from the Gellért Hill . You are looking at the City of Buda on one side of the Danube River and the City of Pest on the other side.
Then we went to the city of Szentendre. This was a town that they converted to a lot of shops. The shops were full of traditional handmade items. We were in shopper's heaven. It's a hard job but somebody's gotta do it.
We also saw the famous art work done on the head of a pin. I took a picture of a couple of them. This first one was in the eye of a needle. The second one was on the head of a pin. It was AMAZING.
Wow that is amazing art work. Inside a pin, wow!
ReplyDeleteDid you know you can have blogs turned into a hard bound book really easily. When you are done with your mission all your pictures and posts can be bound into a book. I want one.
