Meanwhile, back in Amerika, enter BRODY CASH PETERSON!!

We are happy to announce the birth of our newest grandson, Brody Cash Peterson, weighing in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and whose length is yet to be announced.  He is beautiful and looks a lot like Leilani and Eli (alias Rocky), his brother and sister!  Oh, and Mom and Dad are doing fine!

A Deseret Bookstore in Kaposvar?

We thought we saw a Deseret Bookstore when we were walking down the street in Kaposvar.  We didn't find any books, however.

Traditional Easter Monday Meal

We were invited to have a traditional Easter dinner with an investigator family in Kaposvar.  The father, mother, and older daughter, Dorothy, had a competition as they peeled the Easter eggs for the dinner. Mom won.  It was fun to watch!  The little one is named Jasmine.  She is a friendly little 4 year-old.  So tiny, and speaks great Hungarian!  The dinner is smoked ham with horseradish sauce, potatoes, hard-boiled Easter eggs, and an egg/sour cream dish. After we ate, the table was taken back into the kitchen.  Now the room is back to being the front room and master bedroom.  Before we left, the Dad read a Book of Mormon scripture, Alma 5:14, and expounded on it.  Great!
They live in a HUGE ten-story apartment complex.

Our First Snow in Kaposvar

We were out with the missionaries on Tuesday night, and when we came out of the ten story there was snow on the cars!  It is the first time we have seen snow in Hungary.  It does snow here after all!
It was so cold that night!

More Scenes from Kaposvar

Today we ran some errands in Kaposvar and saw some interesting sites.  The first one is the  outside stand where we often buy fruits and vegetables.  The second--well, your guess is as good as ours--but it is interesting!



The Memorial to the 1956 Revolution

The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was short lived but showed the courage of the Hungarian people as they revolted against Communism.  There is a beautiful Memorial to that revolution in Kaposvar.

Our Magnificent Missionaries

We love Sister Gordon, Sister Adams, Elder Dietrich, and Elder Fitzsgerald!  They are hard workers but also can make us laugh!
