well, another week in the dream lands that are pécs!!
Tuesday:
We
got transfer calls that morning and then just sort of all stood in
shock that we were staying together but then we were all excited because
we have the best little district in the mission so life is great.
We went to the Koczkaék (hanna is their daughter) for dinner. It was wonderful. They are the coolest family ever. Monkia (the mom) made us pizza and it was super fun. We're probably going to be skyping from their house for christmas so it will be wonderful as well!

Wednesday:
We
had a program with Gizi néni and talked more about the plan of
salvation and read some scriptures from the bible explaining where it is
and it was super great. She is starting to click all the things
together and it is kind of freaking her out but its great. She totally
feels the spirit and I think that it is a weird feeling for her but I
love it. She is literally the nicest néni ever.
We then
had a program with Luiza. It was super great as well. We taught her the
Plan of salvation and she adored it. She is so so golden. She said it
all made total sense and that she is just waiting for baptism so she can
be sealed to her family and get to the celestial kingdom.
We
then had a program with Dávid about honesty and it was super super
great. He has such a good heart and we are so proud of him. Sometimes
its really hard being a teenager in todays world and he is trying so
hard to be a good example.
Thursday:
We
had a program with P_ Kati and watched Finding Faith in Christ. It was
good but we kept getting interrupted by her neighbors coming down the
hall. But it was good in the end. We talked about how if we have faith
we will take action and show God that. We challenged her to talk with
her pár about marriage and she said she would..we'll see.
We
later had a program with Erzsi and her mom and brother were there too,
plus her pár. It was seriously so incredible. We got in there and erzsi
was like, this is my mom and you should tell her a bit about the church.
We just flew through topics with her talking about the character of God
and how we can communicate with him and basically why faith and
everything is important. It was super cool. We are going to be meeting
with her mom this week! Also, an even bigger miracle from that program
though was her pár. Through the whole thing he was cooking palacsintas
in the kitchen in the room over and was only semi listening but as I was
talking with her mom about how we can pray to find out truth from God,
he stopped cooking and was watching through the door and I glanced over
and he was totally entranced. He totally is interested and was listening
the whole time. After the program I was talking with willets and she
said that during another part he was listening too and nodding his head.
It is such a miracle. Before he never was interested and we had to meet
with erzsi at the branch house because she was scared to talk about the
gospel stuff with him around. But after we watched the finding faith in
christ video with them, they have been changed. It is seriously
incredible.
Later we had angol óra but on the way we ran
into elder anderson (an elder who just finished his mission) and his dad
and sister. It was super weird speaking english with an american that
isn't a missionary. It was mostly strange because as we were walking
towards the branch house with them we ran into diandra and laci and
neither of them speak english so it was strange seeing that they didn't
understand the hungarian.. It kind of threw me off.
Friday:
We had a program with diandra that morning
and it was good. We taught gospel of Jesus Christ and she is totally
stoked for baptism. She also told us she got an answer that the book of
mormon is true. So that's pretty cool.
Before our program
with Luiza we went and helped Billen Tibor (a member) out in his free
computer class he teaches. We come in every other friday and talk with
is class about the gospel. It was super super intense this week. We
basically taught them the whole plan of salvation because there was this
super catholic lady that had tons of questions. I basically preached at
the whole class. It was super fun. There is this one néni there that
always loves it but sadly we had to rush to another program after so I
didn't get a chance to talk with her personally but next week I totally
will. The spirit was just so thick in that room you could have cut it.
The coolest thing I think though, was that usually Tibor cuts in and
talks a ton too, but this time he just sat quietly in the corner smiling
as me and willets taught them. #gospelistrue
We later had
a program with our other bap date, Luiza and taught her the same
lesson. It was super great and she basically taught herself the lesson.
She loves the idea that you need to do all the little things (like have
faith, regularly practice repentance, and be baptized and take the
sacrament every week) to be able to keep the path to eternal life. It
was super legit.
Saturday:
We helped
Niki (one of the members) move most of the morning and then had a quick
district meeting before the elders had a baptism. Hunor is the son of a
member but he wasn't able to be baptized before because his dad wouldn't
allow it but his older brother just got back from his mission so he
finally gave him permission to baptize him. It was super cool because
Hunor has been waiting for a long time to be baptized. So the elders
taught him all the lessons really quick before Marcelle (his brother)
got back and now he's baptized!! Woot!! It was a really nice baptism and
the most adorable part was right after he came up out the water, he had
the biggest smile on his face and then they hugged. It was super great
for diandra and luiza to see too, so they know what their baptism will
be like.
Vasárnap:
We had
branch council, then church, then lunch, then planned for our week. We
later watched the christmas broadcast from the first presidency. It was
really good. The end, when we all sang silent night, it was really
beautiful hearing the hungarian mix with the english.
After
that we had a little walking program around the city with Dávid. We
mostly talked about life and being strong with our beliefs. We talked a
lot about how Joseph Smith was a great example to us, for what to do
during the hard times. D&C 121. Freaking fantastic section. Read it.
We really are proud of him.
We had another great
week here in pécs and tomorrow we're going up to budapest for a
christmas zone conference! Its going to be great!!
Love you all and remember just how special you are to God.

Hello all!!
I swear the weeks are going by faster and faster! Since when is it Christmas week already?! 
Wednesday:
We went tabling with the elders and did some caroling. It was pretty successful, at least people noticed that we were there.
We
had a lesson with Luiza and it was super great! We taught the word of
wisdom and she said she is already doing it! Csilla seriously prepared
her. The only hard thing she said for her was coffee but that she hasn't
been drinking it for a couple of weeks now and that shes already seeing
that shes craving it less! She's super incredible!
