This week was a little slow
but still was great. We went on splits, did miracles and luckily didn’t have to
go to the hospital; I have some time to explain that today. So pretty much what
happened was I got really allergic in the middle of the night one night because
I ate a whole bunch of watermelon, I don’t think it was from that because I may
or may not have dared our investigator that if I drained a piece of watermelon
in the trash he had to eat the peel of the watermelon, but I missed and I had
to eat it so it was totally my fault but it was still funny. Anyway, I woke up
and my whole body was itchy and red and so I had to go to the hospital and get
two shots. One was in my arm and the other in my butt.... the best part was they
were from an old woman and to distract me she smacked my butt and then gave me
the shot.... I was crying after because it was so funny. Great story.
This week we went on splits to the city of
dreams, Eger. It was so pretty and I had a super fun time. We went music
finding which is when we go out into the big square of the city and someone
plays the Guitar or ukulele and then the others sing and then there are
missionaries walking around talking to people. We put up a poster that had the
question. What makes you happy on it. And it went really well. We talked to a
lot of people and had some good conversations, also some really weird
conversations including me getting asked if I would be some girls husband and
if Hollywood is really cool... I was like uhhh “no I’m a missionary, and Two; I’ve
never been there.” ha-ha So yes,
the stereotypes are real... America is still cool to everyone. It was a lot of
fun and we had a lot of success. We also ate at this amazing pizza place that
had the best pizza I have ever had and then this like ice cream cone thing that
is like a cinnamon role kind of, I can’t explain it but it was amazing. The
cool part was that at the end of the split we were walking down the street and
this guy calls after us and he turns out to be from Ukraine and spoke English
and wanted to learn about us because he studies religion so we got talking to
him and go his information and are going to send it to the mission home. Super
cool! Everyone is looking for the Gospel.
This week was interviews and it was great to
talk to President. We almost missed our bus to interviews because we were
planning some stuff and I looked down and realized it left in 4 minutes and we didn’t have
socks or shoes on so we ran all over the place and then flew down the street
and made it. It was great. I always love being able to talk to my mission
president and it’s even cooler that I get to do it in my mission language. For
sure one of the coolest parts of serving here! I love him and he is great. We
had a good talk and he gave me a hint of my transfer call. I think I will be
staying here in Miskolc and training a new Zone leader. So that will be super
fun but we will see! Next week we get the call.
This week we once again had a cool miracle
happen. We went to look up Csabi one of our potential investigators and he
ended up being home and he let us in and we taught a super awesome lesson and
answered all of his questions and the best part was that I was able to relate
to him really well about how he felt about God and how he feels like he is
looking for something in his life. It was really cool and we hope to be going
back this week.
Our investigators are doing good but not
progressing super well. We hope that Monika will be baptized next transfer but
she is still drinking coffee and not coming to church on a weekly basis. So we
will see what happens but we are still finding lots of people and it is going
really well.
All is well here in Hungary and I am doing
good. I am excited to work hard for the last week of the transfer! It’s crazy
that this is my last transfer coming up. Time flies! We are moving into our new
apartment this week and I am excited for that. I would like to finish with a
quick thought.
I have realized recently that faith in Jesus
Christ is what leads all to strive to be the best they can be. If we are
cutting ourselves short, it might be because our faith has dropped and we don’t
have the rock hard faith that we used to have, we aren’t willing to make
sacrifices, or don’t want to have to do something because we feel there is no
need for it. As I have come closer to Christ it has become much easier to just
trust in God and do his will because my faith is in Christ. I once heard this
quote... a bird doesn’t land on a branch because it has faith in the strength
of the branch, but instead it has faith in its own wings. I may have shared
this before but let us all have the faith in Christ to relax and do His will
and know all will work out for the better.
Sok Szeretettel
