Hey peeps! WOW. So this week was a crazy one.
First
off, I FORGOT my small list of the things that happened to me this past
week that I wanted to email about, so, I've got my planner, and I'm
trying really hard to remember everything...
We went to Szeged! It's the main city in the zone,
and it's super classy and HUGE. I went there last July and August for
trainings and splits, but everytime it just puts me in awe! It's
absolutely gorgeous, and I am really wanting to serve there in the
future! While I was there, I got to see Sister Dinehart! She was in my
group in the MTC but went home early, and then she came back like a
month ago! I was very excited to see her, it had been so long! I also
got to say goodbye to Sister Oberhansley, who was in my first district
back in Szolnok...now she's going home! Time goes by way too fast. After
our awesome training from the zone leaders, we went to the mall for
lunch. Whist there, our district each bought a hipster shirt from some
hipster store in the hipster mall. Mine is of a Greek God crying
rainbows.
Why not?
Anyway, the rest
of our week has been going great! The weather is super nice and Spring
is on it's way! I'm very excited! Elder D'Angina and I figured for the
last week of transfers we would go all out and work our bums off! We saw
some really cool things happen. We got like a ridiculous amount of
awesome people we found while tracting and streeting, and we are wanting
to go back and see how interested a lot of them are in the church. One
of my favorite tracting methods is as follows:
Me: "Hey! Have you seen people like us before-"
Person: "YOU ARE A JEHOVA'S WITNESS GET OUT OF HERE."
Anyway, I was saying that people like to judge us before we can say
anything, so we've been trying to say "power statements" before they
can do it, like this;
(door opens)
Me: "Do you love you family? I love my family!"
Them: "...well, yeah. Where you guys from and who are you?..."
Rest is history!
It actually works! I'm excited to keep using it.
TRANSFERS ARE HERE! Elder D'Angina is leaving me and
going to Tatabanya in the west, and I am staying here. I figured I
would, and just get some new senior companion. De nem. It didn't happen.
I will be getting my old MTC companion, Elder Neely! I was super
excited to hear that, and I cannot wait to serve with him! He and I have
been around each other now in our missions for like 33 weeks! I cannot
wait to see how it turns out. I know that we are both pretty young in
the mission, and the language (Hungarian, not swearing) might be
interesting between the two of us in our programs! I know that the Lord
wants us here together, and that whom He calls, He most certainly will
qualify!
I love where I am! I know that miracles are still a real thing, and that God loves His children.
I know it was a short spiritual message.
Love you all! Do good things this week and be happy!
I LOVE MY DAD.
Sok Szeretettel,
Giacalone Elder
