Let them eat cake!

We have served with five elders since we came to Sopron in January. One was Elder Szabo who is from Papa and was waiting for his visa so he could go to the Washington DC Mission. He was just here for three weeks. We have also been able to serve with Elder Wright, Elder Olsen, Elder Bullock and Elder Wright. Yep, two Elder Wrights, one for Virginia and one from ST. George. There is actually a third Elder Wright serving in Hungary also.


This is Elder Szabo on the left and Elder Olsen on the right with a handsome young elder in the middle.


I had put the Fanta pop outside to get cold and it froze solid but this did not deter Elder Szabo, he got every last drop out. Maybe I should say every frozen bit out.


This is a picture of the threesome that were here when we came, Elders Szabo, Wright and Olsen along with President and Sister Baughman.


Elder Olsen turned twenty on February 10th. We had a district meeting with President and Sister Baughman then they took us all out to dinner and we ended the evening back at our place for birthday cake and ice cream. It had been a while since I had made a cake from scratch.


On March 30th Elder Bullock turned twenty so yet another birthday cake!
Elder Bullock is from Canada.



Tibor, one of the guys in the English class had a birthday on March 18th so we just had to have a cake for him too. He is such a great guy that helped Steve build quilting frames and fixes stuff at the branch house all the time.


Can one ever have too much cake?


On April 9th Elder Wright turned 20. Tibor was kind enough to make and bring a yogurt pudding cake. He remembered that Elder Wright said he wasn't that crazy about cake. It was delicious!

 

We had a district meeting at our place with the zone leaders, Elder Molnar and Elder Van Os De Man. After the meeting we had lunch and yep you guessed more birthday cake. This cake was modified as it was really cinnamon rolls and since we only had four candles we had to use sixteen matches. It made for some fast blowing on Elder Wrights part!


It is so great to be able to share in the fun with these great elders!


And a good time was had by all!

  2. Those Elders are so lucky. I know there was a senior couple in one of Trent's areas and they were kind enough to help take care of him at Christmas time. What a blessing you are to those Elder's mothers. You should tell them to tell their mother's about your blog. I bet they would love to see all of these pictures of their sons. :)
