So...I'll be leaving my beloved city of Szeged, my home
for the past four months. But, it's in good hands, a dearly beloved
elder that I know is coming here to finish Elder Mellor's training.
They're going to do great! My next stop is....Eger! I don't really
know a lot about it, but I'll be serving with Elder Barbour. I don't
really know him, but it'll be an adventure! I've heard Eger is
beautiful!
Our last week was stellar. There is so many cool things
happening in Szeged. School starts back up in like a month, but a
lot of kids are coming back to get things ready to start back up. We
had some awesome tracting moments, which culminated with us getting
five new investigators from tracting alone! Super sick.
Last week we went to a ropes course for P-Day. So for
like two hours I was dangling in the air, with just this intense
looking chord keeping me from plunging to my death. So scary.
Sometimes I would slip and feel like I was going to certainly fall
to a painful and dirt-filled death. Eat slugs! But, I survived. One
great moment was when I tried karabining(spelling?) down, and the
karabiner slipped over my pinkey finger and I totally ripped it
open. Best part was, I didn't even notice it until I got down and
noticed the blood on my shirt. COOL.
Great moment of the week: tracted out this sketchy
ten-story and knock on the first door. A mom answers the door, with
her arm around her three year-old. We get talking, and she says that
her husband had actually died like four weeks ago. Rough stuff. I
just found myself bearing testimony at her door of the plan of
salvation. I remember specifically saying "I know that there is
Someone who loves you, and that He is so proud of you." It was
so cool to see the look on her face. We gave her a pamphlet, but she
said she needed time to think things over. Hopefully things turn
around in the future!
I'm going to miss Szeged. There, I said it. I'm going to
miss this place. It's hot, but I love it here. I love the city, the
people. I grew A TON here. But, I know that whatever (or whoever) is
waiting for me in Eger, I'm going to find them! It's gonna be
awesome! And, I'm sorry to everyone right now that I can't reply
back to, I gotta go pack!
Have a great week everyone! Soak in that summer sun! :)
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
