This week wasn’t too
crazy but we still had a good time and worked hard. We had some cool stuff
happen but our investigators are working a lot and some just not progressing so
we are finding new people.
Last P-day we went to a castle, which was
super cool. That’s for sure a perk of serving in Hungary because p-days
are awesome. We got to look around and they actually had armor that you
cool put on so it was a super cool p-day. I sat in the king’s chair.
After that I went on splits with a new
missionary. This guy has been reading my blog ever since he got his call and
was like wait what... you are the elder that I have been reading about, it was
wack haha. I’m famous. It was super crazy because we were talking about when I
started my mission and he was like... that was the beginning of my junior year
pretty much. I was like wow... I’m super old. We had a great split
and it was super fun to see him give it his best with the language and see the
gift of tongues in action. He was pumped up and so we got a lot done and had a
great split. We actually found a less active member that ended up coming to
church... it was a crazy story.
So we knock on her door and she lets us in
and we sit down and start talking to her and she starts telling us about why
she hasn’t been coming to church and how she has been sick and in the hospital...
then she starts talking about how there are little things or bugs or something
in her apartment that at night like torment her and bite her and stuff and how
she has had people come and clean her house and sleep in her bed and they can
see them or feel them, soooo I was like well she might just be hallucinating so
I was like well we can say a pray to bless your house that the sprit will be
here. So we knelt down and said the prayer and I like cast out the spirits
and stuff. I have never done anything like that and it was a cool feeling of
peace that entered the room after. So that was a really interesting experience.
Then she came to church and we are going to try to help her to become active
again!
This week was my last MLC. The missionary
leadership meeting that we have every transfer. It was kinda sad but it was
really good. The spirit was strong and it hasn’t even hit me that it was
my last one. I love being together with the leaders and talking about how to
make the mission better. It was great and the spirit was strong. On the way
down there we talked to a girl from Bulgaria and she told us all about her
country. It sounded beautiful and she said there is awesome snowboarding there so
I am going to have to check that out later. She was really nice but didn’t want
to really talk about the church but I learned a couple Bulgarian words.
We also met with another less active and she
gave a really cool painting of Jesus that her friend did based off of a Liahona
picture. It wasn’t the original but we put it up in our apartment. She didn’t
want us to come back, which was sad, but we had to respect that and just said
for her to call if we can help in anything.
Another crazy thing that happened this week
was I got something called Puszi from a drunken man... This is the Hungarian
was of saying the like French kiss on each cheek because that’s a thing here.
See... I can reject girls when they come up and want to give me Puszi... but
when a guy says he wants to give me puszi, which is totally normal here, it’s
like a part of the Hungarian bro hug. So I had to accept it. He was a cool dude
and we had a good talk with him but the only reason we stuck around was because
his friend wasn’t drunk and was actually interested so we had to take one for
the team and talk to the drunk dude while one of us talked to the legit guy. It
was funny and I am kinda mad it happened because I almost made it my whole
mission without receiving man puszi but its okay it was good experience haha.
We also got a let in this week and taught
this lady that is into healing people with energy... it was pretty interesting
and I am sorry I only talk about interesting people here but most Hungarians
are interesting haha. It was cool to talk to her but will be kind of hard to
teach her but she is willing to read the Book of Mormon so we are going to go
back and teach her. It was cool.
I want to finish with quick thought. I love
God. This is a simple sentence, but this week I realized what it really meant
to me. I Know that God will lead me in my life and that he will lead all of us,
and if we put him first and have him be the number 1 person in our life that we
love, then all the other people in our life that we love will be blessed. He
will pick us up and carry us. We will not need to worry. He will take the
trials from our shoulders... so if you really love something it will be first
in your life, so let us all put the most powerful and loving being in our life
first.
I love you all.
