Wednesday:
We had a családi est with the branch put on by the youth. It was super
great. The missionaries sang a musical number. It was super fun to get
to know the branch a bit better. They are seriously the greatest.

Sunday:
We had church, which was great. And then that evening we met with the
Laciék. Best people ever. We had a really good conversation about family
values
and they loved it. They basically just love us so much and we love
them.

We
met with Zsuzsa (depressed one) and brought her balloons, because she
loves balloons. Cool story though. When we were at the store buying
balloons we started a conversation with the balloon store clerk and it
turns out that he likes making balloon animals and stuff and is actually
super talented and that he tried out for "Hungarys Got Talent". But he
made us a balloon crown like wicked fast. It was super cool. It also
turns out that he knows Viki, the member and that they are friends and
after meeting him, he texted Viki and said that he would like to meet
with us!! so we'll see where that goes.

Then we met with
Sue and her daughter. They are hilarious. We taught them about the book
of mormon and when we said that she could have one for herself she was
so excited. She told us that she knew it wasn't an accident that she met
us on the street and that she knew that Heavenly Father knew she wanted
to learn english and He sent us. She also said that as we told her
about the book of mormon she could see it in our eyes that we knew what
we were saying and that we really believed these things and that she
felt lucky that we gave her such a special book and that her and her
daughter would definitly read it. So Szabolcs sometimes has to be away
from home for a couple of days for business and that is hard for her and
her daughter sometimes and it turns out that this week he was traveling
too and she said that she knew that Heavenly Father gave her the book
of mormon right now so she can get through this time without Szabolcs.
We really hope that she is serious and I think she is. Can't wait to
meet with them again!

Thursday: So there was a
transfer and one of the elder companionships got shut down here in
szeged so its just four of us now. We got a new elder, elder oakes. He
seems cool. From arizona.
We met with Roli and talked
about the temple. He loves it and can't wait til he can go! Also this
sunday in church Roli will be getting the priesthood!! yay!!

We
now teach both profi and haladó angol óra. I teach profi. So after
angol óra, saudi arabia guy and traveling guy and I started talking and
we had a really good conversation about what it takes to be a good
teacher and they were super nice and said that I was a good teacher
because I had the passion behind my teaching, then we got on the subject
of education and then the traveler guy suggested that we go somewhere
where we could all sit down, so we went to this cafe (nyugi kért) near
where we email and we talked about all sorts of things. It was funny
though because we asked them what their opinion on mormons were. They
were honest and said that sometimes the sisters in the past were really
pushy and tried to force them to meet with them and that they weren't
interested in that. But they thought that we were nice because we didn't
pressure them into anything. It was funny though because we basically
ended up teaching them about the restoration and they liked hearing
about it. I think we're going to be able to teach them, just in a round
about way haha
Friday: We met with the Márkék. Magdi
néni wasn't there. And she hasn't been to church in a couple of weeks.
We'll have to have a talk with her about if she is ready for baptism.
Saturday:
We met with Piroska again. She was having a really bad pain in her leg
so we offered to call her home teacher for her to get a blessing but
instead she said for him to come over on sunday. So we talked to him
about that. The poor thing. She was hurting so bad but we just prayed
with her and shared a scripture.
We met with Timi! She
prayed but said she didn't get an answer so we encouraged her to keep
trying. We taught about the restoration and she loved it. She said she
wants to get an answer about that too.
Sunday:
Church! We went to young womens for the third hour and it made me miss
it so much! It reminded me of back home in Pittsfield.
We
met with the Laciék that evening and taught about the restoration. Bube
teared up when I was bearing my testimony about Joseph Smith. But then
after she went off about how she loves that we love what we believe but
that we should worry about teaching the younger people that are lost in
life and that she is already happy and has found God. But I could tell
that she felt something. Hopefully they will read the scripture we gave
them. They are so wonderful though. Laci wants me to draw something on
his surfboard, which is pretty cool!
Well, thats about it for this week. Photos to come! Love you all and have a great week!!
