Endure

Well this week has seriously gone by so fast. I do not know where the time has gone!!!

This week we have worked harder then ever before. We had no programs and officially are at 0 investigators.... so it’s a rough one here. But hey it’s okay because we still are going beast mode every day. I have never been so tired. This week we spent the whole week finding. We would go tracting and then streeting, and then go streeting and then tracting and then sometimes go tabling. So we just talked to a million people this week it was nuts. We even tracted into to two people that don’t speak Hungarian or English, one was Chinese, and the other was from some South American place. It was awesome practicing my sign language.

One of the highlights of this week was one night we were streeting and these guys walk up to us and smack us on the shoulders and say ELDERS!! They were Mormons!!!!! from Utah in Hungary. Like what. This has never happened on my mission so I was pumped. They took us out for ice cream and we had a great talk about America and football ha-ha. So I was super pumped. Later that week one of them even came to church and I spent all of church translating for him. The reason they are here is because they are working here in the army base. They will be here for a couple weeks and we might go out to dinner with them this week!! The one that came to church was a black hawk helicopter flyer.... like what. It was so cool. 

  

This week while we have been doing a lot of finding we were able to get let in a couple of times by a few people. One of the times we got let in and it was the hottest room I have ever been in. We stood and taught the restoration and my Companion and I were just sweating as we taught. It was great because hey a let in is a let in even if it’s so hot.  It went super well and we will be going back hopefully this week.

Something really interesting happened this week also. I learned a ton from it too. We were tracting and we talked to this girl that did not believe in God. The conversation quickly became personal when she opened up about her life and her family. So I opened up to her and told her all about how much my religion and God has helped me in my life and that through the BOM I have received so much strength and love from my Heavenly Father. So I just bore super hard testimony and poured my heart out to her and said, to “give it one last chance to find God” and she still said no and that she didn’t want a Book. So I said okay here’s a card if you change your mind call us. So we left and I was pretty beat up about it because I could see she needed these things in her life. Then a realized that I knew that even when I bore testimony and did all I could people would still reject it. So I had to accept it and move on. I did all I could and that I have dibs on teaching her in the spirit world.

This week we took bence tracting with us and it was seriously the best tracting time ever. I had so much fun because we were just laughing and having a ton of fun. I tried to get him to talk to people but he did not want to and was just being so funny. He is seriously my best friend.

The coolest part of this week was at church when my companion was asked to give a blessing of healing... I forgot how you actually say it in English sorry. A woman walked up to him and said I would like a blessing from you... he didn’t understand so I told him and he just went pail. So we go into the other room and I ask her what for and if she would like it in Hungarian or English and she said it doesn’t matter to me, so I said yes the words are not important it is according to your faith. So I asked my companion which he would like to do and he said he wanted to try Hungarian. So I did the anointing and then he gave the blessing and did a really amazing job for how young he is in the mission. It was pretty cool.

So this week has been really crazy but I would just like to finish with a quick thought about Enduring. Sometimes enduring is just putting your head down, saying a prayer, then keeping your head down and just going to work. Just let the rest go and just do it.

I love you all have a great week!!
