Hey everyone!
It's my
month mark in Hungary! Super weird...feels like I just got here like
last week. Well, we had a busy week. Lots of fun people we talked to,
lots of Hungarian that I have learned. We've had some fun. We had a
programme with a lady and I showed her pictures of my family and she
kept saying "How old is your sister?", which was really confusing to me.
When I asked her who she was talking about, she pointed to the only
girl in the picture, which turned out to be my mom! Awkward explaining
that to her, but we got a kick out of it! So Mom, I guess the Hungarians
think you are really, really young looking!
We got to go down to the city of Szeged this past week for
zone conference! It's like a three hour train ride from Szolnok, so we
got to talk to our sisters in the train ride down and pass the time.
Super fun ride! Szeged is the biggest city in our zone, and it is
absolutely gorgeous! However, the Hungarians refer to it as the (roughly
translated) the "hick" area of Hungary, because they pronounce their
vowels super weird, so they all sound messed up. Super funny listening
to them! I got to eat Fruit Soup down there for the first time...it's so
yummy! It's like a cold, thick soup with chunks of fruit in it-really
nice on hot Summer days!
So we've had a few rough days where we didn't get a whole lot
accomplished we felt, but we had a few miracles towards the end of the
week that made up for it :) One of them was after our Angol Ora class
and we met with this super classy guy and his wife. We watched the
Restoration film with them, and a really cool spirit filled the room.
Afterward, they were really interested in what we had to say to them,
and my companion and one of the branch members started to talk to them
in really rapid Hungarian, kind of leaving me in the dust. When there
was a lull in the talking, I told them that I would like to share my
testimony with them about what we had talked about. They looked at me,
and I had the stage for a good five minutes in Hungarian. Literally I
don't remember what I said, but the Spirit was so strong there, and at
the end we committed to baptism the wife. First lesson, too. Tender
mercy!
Miracle Number 2- We were tracting and ran into a lady that gave
us that "I'll listen but I'm not really interested in what you have to
say" kind of face. I said (literally) like a ten second prayer in my
heart, and I watched this ladie's complexion literally melt away and she
let us in! We are going back to teach her in a week :)
