Well it was a great week
and a lot of cool lessons were learned.
Last week we went to this Palacsinta place. It’s
like a crepe just Hungarian. It won my heart and I think it is my new favorite
place in Hungarian. It was so good I can’t even tell you.
This week we had a lot of good laughs. One
of them was when we got dogged, which means our investigator wasn’t home... so
on the way to the bus to go tracting I started rapping and got going and I was
on fire. Like I need to make and album but then Elder Robinson gets going and
he was going hard to. So right when the bus gets up he says this one line that
makes both of us laugh so hard we were crying... dead serious. Tears were
coming out of my eyes! So we had to get on the bus like this and everyone was
like who are these kids and we finally got ourselves together and I turned to
this old lady sitting next to me and started talking her and she really liked
our church because of how happy we were. She didn’t want to meet but we had a
great conversation and she told me her favorite Hungarian food and how to cook
it. It was great. Missions are awesome just for stuff like this.
This week we moved into our new apartment
and it is really nice. I have a nice bed finally so I will be spending my last
little bit in comfort for the most part. It will be great. We got lots of help
in the move and it went really well and wasn’t hard. I don’t think I will even
unpack one of my suitcases because I don’t need anything in it for the next
little while.
After that, we had a really good “Meet the Mormons
night” and had some people come from English class and that was successful.
Another super funny thing that happened this
week was when we went to go teach someone and we walked up to the building and
starting ringing them for us to get let us in and this guy came down and
started yelling at us... so you have to know that as I was walking up to this
building I was eating a carrot. I wasn’t done with it and it was really good so
I didn’t want to through it away so I just started talking to this guy holding
a carrot as he was yelling at us... He was like why are you here, go away, and
then our investigator let us in and he was surprised about that but we went up
and I still hadn’t finished my carrot so I had to just put it in my backpack. And
that’s the end of the story... it was better in person I promise ha-ha. We had
a great teaching and they fed us corn and some dessert stuff. It was great...
This week we traded our P-day for Saturday so after I am done
emailing we are going to go work because Saturday we went to an all day branch activity, which was a hike and a
grill party thing. It was a lot of fun and I loved it. I got to go hiking with
Virgina the little girl that I gave the spirit to and she told me I was her
hiking partner and so we spent the day together talking and picking up walking
sticks. It was a lot of fun.
This week we had some really cool stuff
happen. We made the goal to fill up our whole planner section for potential investigators,
which is over 100 people, and we did it this week. It was super cool to see
that hard work pays off and because of that we have some awesome investigators.
We met with one of them and had a powerful
meeting. We taught the restoration and at the end we were asked to give a
blessing. So we read in the scriptures in alma 15:5-10 about how a blessing
works and as we read this, the woman and wife of this couple started crying and
after the blessing she told us she just had this warm amazing feeling that just
felt like it was strengthening her. It was really cool. The gospel is so true
and these people know it and have felt it and we are going to help them realize
what those feelings are. Super cool miracle. Their names are Sandor and zsoka.
I like them a lot.
I would like to finish with a story from
this week. We had a really hard situation with one of our investigators because
we found out that they committed a serious sin and we didn’t know what to say
about it. But during the teaching I was prompted multiple times to tell them
that they need to fix this and that we were there to help them repent. But that
isn’t something you just say to someone in a nice way but I was trying to
figure how to do that when the spirit just said to me, just do it and I’ll give
you what you need. So I opened my mouth and told them that I wanted to talk
about something and just told them that it wasn’t right and the words came. I
corrected with love and pretty much called them to repentance and it was one of
the coolest experiences I have a had. I first got the prompting and followed
that, then the holy ghost gave me the words that I need to say, and then I was
able to truly comfort and tell them that we are here for them. It was intense
and I have never had to be that bold before but it just was a testimony to me
that if you follow the promptings that we receive it doesn’t matter what
happens because you are doing what’s right. FEAR NO MAN, BECAUSE GOD IS ON YOUR
SIDE.
I love you all have a great week.
