Just
don't ever go there.
Anyway, I had such a good week. As previously mentioned, we were in
the capital for a day for interviews with President and Sister
Smith. I love them both so much! They care so much for us
missionaries and are amazing examples AND I JUST REALIZED THAT I
FORGOT MY BELT AGAIN TODAY GOOD CRAP.
We
also got permission from President to go to a ghetto circus! #missionmemories
There
were like at least nine million screaming Hungarian children in that
hot tent, but I saw a real live Llama in Hungary! Score! Super great
moment when during the show the main circus clown guy stops
everything, stares straight at Elder Barbour, who had just taken a
picture, and says in English: "And for those who do NOT speak
the Hungarian language, we do NOT take pictures or record during the
show performance! Thank you!" We all laughed super hard.
Sick
moment of the week: like about four hours ago we had a program with
one of our new people at the branch house. I still can't believe
what happened, so I'm going to go to express it like this:
Me:
"So "N", did you read out of the Book of Mormon?"
N:
"Yes, I did."
Me:
"Where exactly?"
Barbour:
"Did you pray about it?"
N:
"I just kind of flipped around it. I read a story about some
intense warfare. It was very interesting. But while I was reading it
I kind of just realized that this book is like really God's Word,
isn't it? Like, how cool is it that He gave us this
book?"
Me:
"...so, like, do you want to get baptized?"
N:
"I would most certainly enjoy that. My birthday is October
24th, so I was thinking maybe the Saturday after that? If not,
that's fine. I have a coffee problem."
Member
present: "I had that same problem. I will personally help you
overcome it and be there every step of the way!"
N:
"Wow! You are all so fantastic. I am so glad that I know
members of the church like you, this church is fantastic!"
(Lots
of other random but amazing things discussed by him and member
present)
So
yeah, super sick program. He's totes gettin baptized. He's got his
problems, but "Nobody's perfect" in the words of Hannah
Montana.
It's
still so hot. So incredibly hot. But the work is on FIRE. We had
SEVEN people at church yesterday, I didn't know what to
do, mostly because I was translating for Elder Herd for sacrament,
blessing it, and then preparing my talk for priesthood. Props of
serving in small branches, but you know, you love it. It's the best
:) I love where I'm at, and life is grand!
És ne
felejtsetek el, mennyire értékesek vagytok Isten szemeben :)
Sok Szeretettel,

So, I
discovered this past week that the metro in Budapest is an
unforgiving, terrifying place.
Just
don't ever go there.
