Hello everyone! Abban remélem, hogy jó volt a hetetek. Annyira jó volt a hét nekem. Azért, halás vagyok.
Where
to begin? This week has been super crazy. Our work load here in Kapos
is going through the roof! I cannot recall a day where we found for
hours on end, because we have been running throughout this city going to
other programs! During this fun bunch of shenanigans that we did, I
rolled my ankle. Not fun! But, I'm totally fine now. No worries. God
really does want His missionaries up and running :)
We went to the city of Pécs for zone meeting last week
(Kaposvár and Pécs are in the same zone here) and it is absolutely
gorgeous! We rode buses down there, and it was probably the longest bus
ride of my life. But, we got to see the city, and it is known as one of
the prettiest cities in Hungary. And yes, it really is!
Being in a threesome can be crazy sometimes: not a whole
lot of room to put three beds in our tiny bedroom, having to kind of
spread out a bit more for studies in the morning, and finding is an
adventure as well. But, there is something special about it. I know it.
When we teach, I can speak clearly and focus on what I want to say in
Hungarian. Both Elder Quinton and Gould are fantastic Hungarian
speakers, and they always stop in programs to make sure that I know what
is going on. I love them for that :)
We have had some great programs this past week. We have a
baptism on Saturday with this girl named Emese. She is absolutely
stellar and Elder Quinton will be baptizing her. I am giving the opening
prayer :D We have met with some new people, and it's amazing how the
Spirit works sometimes. We tracted down a street where it had just been
shut doors and nothing happening, when we tracted one house with a lady
who said that she had been reading stuff about the Church on Mormon.org
and that she wanted to meet. But in January after the holidays. Hey,
we'll take it! Also, we tracted into this cool 30 year old guy who is a
computer dude and is totally loaded. He said "No" when we rang his bell,
but later as we were exiting his building, he saw us as he was getting
his mail at the base of the stairs and said he changed his mind and
wanted to meet right now. Seriously, sometimes I wonder if I'm doing a
whole ton of work. There are days when I feel like I'm doing everything
and nothing happens, then there are days like that where the people
literally let you in or want you to come back. I love those!
Well, that's about it. For Thanksgiving this week, we will be
eating dinner at the Colledge's apartment, the senior couple here in
Kaposvár. We will be having chicken of some sort, since turkey here is
not necessarily all in one piece like in America, and yummy pies. I am
way excited :) Super pumped! Also, in Sunday school, funny things
happen: so, the Branch was talking about the Nauvoo temple and about
baptisms for the dead. One of the members, I think she is actually the
Relief Society President, asked what age we will look like when we are
resurrected, or what age specifically we will be body-wise. One of the
members said a specific year, like 19 or something. I was sure that
wasn't right, but I wasn't sure what to say! Then they all just looked
at me for the deciding answer. I said "We will be...perfect. So don't
worry about it!" They took it! Whew. That whole experience made me feel
like an old bishop or something.
There is an older néni here in the branch that was teaching
that lesson. She is so humble and kind, and she is one of the few
endowed members in the branch. She said how she wishes she could go back
to the temple, where she was sealed to her deceased husband. I felt
such a great spirit as she talked about her one precious visit to the
temple and the massive impact it had on her. I also know that families
are really forever, and that death isn't the end. I'm so grateful for
this knowledge, and I am grateful to be a part of this work to share it
with others that really need to know it.
