And Jessie J is playing right now. It's been so long since I last heard her! Thanks random radio station!
Obviously, the fun part of this week was that I got
Elder Neely! It's been a roller coaster of a week, trying (both of us)
to take the reins of this companionship. As we finished up the week with
the programs we had planned, I couldn't wait for Sunday to come so that
we could just sit down and so that I could actually explain to him bus
schedules and times, investigators addresses', and other stuffs. We did
SO much last week. Honestly, we had a lot stacked against us: we had to
learn how to find together, plan for and meet with our investigators,
and somehow remember where they lived in the city.
But, it all worked out. I still am shaking my head
as to HOW, but it worked. Neely and I dubbed this strange
phenomenon(spelling?) TMAM, or Tender Mercies And Miracles. We both
tried to work really hard and just do our best, and honestly the Lord
made up for the rest of it! We snagged five(!) new investigators, and we
haven't even been together for a week! We had an amazing program with
one of our investigators at the home of the ward mission leader in which
they got him (our investigator) to seriously consider a baptism date,
and to top it all off we got pretty tight with some members. Church was
super great: a guy just walked in from outside and starting chatting it
up with one of the members. After a few minutes he (the member) ran into
the chapel where I was sitting and he was just like "Elder Giacalone,
come here! You've got a new investigator!" I chatted with him for like
45 minutes and got to know him pretty well. We are meeting with him this
Wednesday, but we will see how it goes!
And finally, Elder Neely and I spoke like amazing Hungarian this past week! WHAT.
Funny things that happened:
Neely
and I streeted Darth Vader! There was a comic fan club group down from
Budapest just hanging ot in the main square and it was super legit!
Neely is a huge Star Wars fan and he about died!...
We tabled two American girls who were WAY too interested in us. Creepy...
Neely almost had an "accident" regarding his digestive system in the middle of a program...
And yeah. My email is super short! I don't really
know what to say! I am still kind of astounded as to how well our
companiomship is doing. I know that obedience brings blessings, and that
the Lord truely does qualify who He calls. I know the gift of tongues
is real.
I'm just grateful and happy!
I LOVE ALL OF YOU.
SHOUT OUT TO MY DAD: WELCOME HOME!!!
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
