Well this week was crazy!!!
So much cool stuff happened and so many miracles so I will try to put it all
into one email. I am staying in Pest and getting a new companion named Elder Leavitt!
At the beginning of the week I went on
splits with an elder and we had a super cool miracle happen. We went tracting
and I felt like we should tract a whole street all the way to the end but it
was getting pretty late and Hungarians do not like us when it is late. Like
7.30 was past their bedtime and we were tracting at like 8.30. So we kept going
and I just knew we needed to keep going. Don’t know why but we did. So we got
to the end of the street without getting killed and were waiting for the bus
and out of nowhere a man that we talked with turned the corner and had come out
of his house and walked down the road looking for us. He came up to us and told
us that his daughter was actually interested and asked if we had anything that
we could give him for her to be able to learn about us. We asked if we could go
back and meet her but he just wanted a card and then left. It was so cool and
we were pumped because that never happens. So that was a really cool miracle.
We also found a new investigator a couple
weeks ago but just this week were able to meet with him and he ended up being a
really cool young guy. He listened to us and told us that he would like to meet
again because the plan of salvation interested him so we set up for this week! We
are super excited about it.
So one of the best things that happened this
week was when we taught Attila and Dora the plan of salvation. We taught the
whole thing and the spirit was so strong and at the end we asked if they would
be baptized and they said yes!!! We didn’t put a date on it because they still
have a lot to learn but in the next month or so we think we can have them ready
to be baptized so that is seriously the coolest thing ever. I am so happy about
it and I was about jumping for joy when Dora said that she totally wants to be
baptized. They are seriously so cool and I love teaching them. Most prepared
people I have ever met on my mission.
Later in the week we had a very interesting
experience. We went to a gypsy funeral, which is a very interesting experience.
They play very loud sad music and pass around vodka and smoke a lot and it was
really sad but I learned a lot from it. The reason we went was because the woman
from two months ago that I gave a blessing to had passed away from her cancer
and it was really sad but at the same time amazing to know that she accepted
Christ in her life and that there is life after death. So we were able to go to
that and we even were able to bless the gravesite with one of the members,
which was also a very cool experience, defiantly something I will never forget.
We also took suit coats off this week so we
are free!!! Its super nice to just walk around in short sleeves. I also made
cookies for Attila and Dora because I had all the American ingredients and they
loved them. So I can give myself a pat on the back for that haha.
We had a really cool thing happen one night
when we went out streeting and couldn’t find anyone on the street and just didn’t
have any success but Elder Veres has a motto that you can’t leave the court
until you make a 3... so before we went in for language study we said a prayer
that we would find one person that would be ready for our message and we only
took one card with us because we prayed about the card we needed to take and we
hit the streets. We walked around for a little getting rejected and keeping the
one card until we felt it was the right person. So we couldn’t find anyone but
we talked to everyone that came in our path and it was getting pretty late so
we decided to head home and had faith that the person would be put in our path.
And that’s what happened. We turned the corner and saw a young boy and his mom
pretty much playing tag down the street so we waited for them and stopped them
and we had a really great talk. We bore testimony and she took our card. No she
didn’t say she wanted to meet but that’s not the point because when we gave the
card to the little boy it had a picture on it of Jesus and when he looked at it
he turned to him mom and said, “who is this?” and she said that’s Jesus and he
said oh with a big smile on his face and then they walked away. We left and
felt like God had answered our prayers. It was pretty amazing even if all we
needed to do was show a little boy who Jesus is. I know that will stick in his
head.
This week I was able to bless the sacrament
in Hungarian for the first time on my mission and it was really cool. I love
blessing the sacrament and it was even better in Hungarian.
We also got two new investigators this week
that are pure gold. They were a referral from church head quarters and we went
and looked them up and gave them a Book Of Mormon, which is what they ordered. They
have learned about all types of churches and haven’t felt like they have found
the truth because they want to feel it not just know it. So we taught and
amazing restoration and the spirit was strong and I know they felt it and we
set up to go back this Friday so that was really cool and we are just having miracles out the
wazoo up in here. It’s awesome.
To finish one last story of this week. We
watched the life of Joseph Smith movie with Attila and Dora and it was so
powerful. The spirit was there and we could tell they learned a lot from it and
at the end I asked them if they would pray about the movie and ask if it was
true and if Joseph is a true prophet and Dora without hesitation answered and
said I already know it’s true. I was stunned and just so happy she could feel
its truth and the spirit touched her heart. I know that Joseph Smith is a
prophet of God and that he restored the Gospel to the earth in these days. I
know its true, I would die for it and that’s what pushes me to serve everyday.
I love you all so much have an amazing week.
Look for the miracles that God gives to all
of us, they are all around.
