MTC Second Week - Come to the Edge.

Well this week has been amazing and also very challenging. Hungarian has become even harder. which i didn't even think was possible but hey why not. we are learning conjugations and all this crazy stuff and i am still trying to get basic words memorized. 

the schedudle is the same pretty much everyday so nothing new really happens. we wake up. go to breakfasst. go to class til lunch. go to class. then have gym for and hour, and then dinner and back to class. the classes we have are usually just personal study, companion study and then language study. then we have a teacher come and teach us. they only teach in hungarian so I dont hear much english which is a good but awful thing. 

We found a hungarian elder that is in the mtc and we got to talk to him for a while at dinner once and her was way cool and told us all about hungary and spoke hungarian to us. i understood a little but he was going pretty easy on us. 

today we are going to make a steam room in the showers by ducktaping blankets to the opening so no heat can go out. I will give you and update on how that goes next week. 

We have our first "home teaching lesson" today where we teach active memeber of the church and just get to know them and then share a quick message but the interesting part is it's all in hungarian so we will see how that goes. I am excited though. 

We had a devotional and chad lewis spoke and it was so cool. he gave a great messsage. The coolest part though was out of no where he started talking about Taysom Hill, the quaterback for BYU and asked if he would come up and bear his testimony!!!  he was there! he came up and gave a really amazing testimony and it was really cool to hear from him. 

this will come as a surprise to some but every gym me and elder verse go ball out at the basketball courts. i am awful at basketball but the last two days i have been raining. I drain a couple three's every game. who would of thought i could summon my inner Steph Curry in the mtc. it is super fun!! 

anyways that is all that has happend this week. i would like to end by sharinga quick qoute.

"Come to the edge he said, No I will fall, come to the edge he said, no i will fall, come to the edge!!! so I came, and he pushed me, and I flew." I really like this. sometimes we are afraid of what is in front of us. the task at hand, or the scary leap of faith that we have to take. I know that if we follow heavenly father and Jesus Christ he will push us and make us fly. I love this gospel. 

Love, Elder Ure
