Na, mi újság?
Everybody guess what: You all know the band that played on the "Titanic" as it sank and they played "Nearer My God To Thee" and the mom told the bedtime story to the kids and the old couple cried on the bed? Well, they were apparently HUNGARIAN. YES. It's sad because they died, but super cool at the same time! #titanicconnections
Oh my goodness, we were in Budapest YET AGAIN last week for MLC. We planned for this upcoming month and we got our SNOW TIRES. YES. Winter is coming! But, it doesn't feel like it outside. Actually, it's a pleasant 75 degrees. Weird. I'm super excited for Christmas! In just a few weeks I can bust out my Christmas music. I WAIT FOR IT WITH MUCH LOVE.
Honestly, other than these things it was a pretty normal week. We finished our 1000 piece puzzle and it was a great success! We are starting another one now that we do in our free time, oh wait, we don't have any of that! So just whenever we are walking in the room we sit down for a few minutes and work on it. So, it's going slowly but SURELY.
Ok, here's something cool: So, whilst tracting last week we got a let-in with a middle-aged woman. She let us into her apartment and we sat down in some chairs by her kitchen table. On the couch was another younger guy who was smoking and watching us. As we got talking, we realized that the lady was very religious, and the man was still quiet. We started off by saying that our message was about hope and happiness and that it applies to all of us. That got the man's attention, and he put out his cigarette and leaned forward to listen to us. As we talked about prophets, the woman exclaimed how she noticed there weren't anymore prophets, so what happened to them? As we explained and answered her question, the Spirit came into the room and the man started to ask us some questions. They were fairly easy, and then suddenly: "Would you be able to forgive a family member that murdered another person in your family? How?" came out. Holy crud. I looked at Elder Raymond and he looked back at me. We both turned back and bore testimony of the family and how important it is, along with the priceless gift of the Atonement, which not only cleanses us, but also heals us. The man sat back in his chair and just kind of stared into my eyes. He wasn't mad, he honestly just looked like a kid in school getting help on his math homework. He asked if we could come back and talk more about Christ. We were like: "This is actually like our thing, like we do this everyday." It was pretty cool. The Spirit was so strong, we knew they felt it!
Sorry, that took forever to write. I don't really have anything else to say! All is well in the Duna-lands, and they will be for now! Some members have already invited us over for Thanksgiving, even if they are doing it in October because they are a little impatient! I want to make a pie for it! :)
I love you all! Keep trucking and smiling! There are always good things to hope for in life, especially when it seems a little bit darker than normal!
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Giacalone
