Yes, we had our Seminary and Institute convention! It was a blast! I have to admit though that I expected it to be a total disaster. I wasn't good at planning the little details, and having to conduct the fireside was nerve wrecking. I stressed all the girls on the train: "I don't have all the music picked!" , "Will someone be there to open the door?", "What will people think?", "I don't speak Hungarian!" (and the list goes on...) and here is what happened: We got to the chapel, and realized 3 things: we didn't have hymnbooks, no assigned pianist and music conductor... So  I went running down the streets downtown Oradea to find a place at 6 pm where I could make copies of the hymns. Then, as the youth came, I just "attacked" them with the question "Do you play the piano?" Luckily, someone did, and she was very nice to accept to play. Then, from Hungary as well, someone volunteered to conduct the music (I LOV...

Central European YSA Convention

I took a break from writing - what a shame! But here I am again, trying to share with you the best event of this year....so far. And that is, I mean was, since it happened during the last week of July, the international YSA Convention  :D It took place in Oradea, and we had people from 11 countries participate. Being my first convention of its type, I had nothing else to compare it with. So all I have to say is that I enjoyed it - I enjoyed being the photographer, which gave me the chance to be around everyone, annoy everyone and get away with it, and get over my anxiety of being in big crowds.  I sent an article to the Ensign and the Liahona (I was the assigned media representative) , but I don't think they will publish it. So I will share it with you here. It's a bit long, but I hope you'll enjoy it :)                 CENTRAL EUROPEAN YSA CONVENTION - "HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS" Tuesday morning in Oradea, a city in Romania tha...

I had no idea what to name this post. I haven't written in a while, so I have some catching up to do. First, I'm still unemployed... I am probably picky (I will not go and work in a factory, assembling stuff, for only 200$ a month... I can do better than that...not money-wise, but work-wise). I guess I need to figure out what I want to do with my life before I get a job. I could go back to OMV any time, but it's not what I want for my future. The search continues :D ... running out of money fast :)) Second, we had an awesome YSA Study Convention in Arad, with the young single adults from Arad, Cluj, Oradea, and some branches from Hungary. It was an amazing experience, and it was the first time I met the youth from Hungary (except for Elder Vekony, who is currently serving in Romania). We had two special guests, Elder Schutze and Elder Fingerle, from the area Seventies. The theme of the convention was sanctification. We talked about escaping from sin to save our lives/etern...
