Senior Conference & the Chocolate Museum

The week of February 14, we went to Budapest to the Mission Home for a Senior Missionary Conference.  At this time there were 6 couples in addition to the President Szabadkai and his wife (at the head of the table and on the left)  Now (as of March 12) there are only 4 couples.  President Szabadkai is desperate for senior missionary couples.  We have a great need for MLS missionaries.  These small branches here need leadership support from senior missionaries.  This picture is taken in the Mission President's home.  It is a very nice home on the 3rd and 4th floor of the Mission Home and Budapest Ward building.

This was a great time to get to know the other senior couples in Hungary. Unfortunately, there are so few of us and we are so far apart, the only time we get to see each other is at conferences like this. After our conference training sessions, we took a tour of the Chocolate Museum.  This was an old school that had been transformed into the Museum.  The tour lasted about 2 hours and was filled with lots of information, but the best part was tastes of yummy chocolate in each room.

This dress was designed for a special
chocolate event.  The balls at the hem
and neck are chocolate bon bons.
Look carefully at the name on the wall hanging.



These are figurines are made out of chocolate
and then covered with a thin layer of porcelain
  
The finale was the flaming chocolate dessert in the big dining room.  A big thank you to Sister Szabadkai for organizing this event.
