Back to Szeged and other wonderful things

magdi, döme, márk, and klaudia
23 May 2016

wednesday:
We went to SZEGED!!!! so we did a little training at the zone training in szeged since we're over the sisters in that zone. We drove down with the szabadkais so we got a little nice car ride and it was just so strange being in a car. I've gotten so used to public transportation I'm going to feel so spoiled getting back to a car. It was so great to go back to szeged though. So much is the same yet its changed, it was kind of trippy to be there haha. We gave a training on helping members know what to do when they come to lessons and it got me pumped to help the missionaries when I get home. 
So it was cool though after the training I had a text from edit, the lady I met on the metro, asking me to call her. So I did and she simply asked, when can we meet? it was super cool.
I was on splits with sister gertcsh and it was great. We go to go back to teach the Márkék!! So I got to see márk, klaudia, magdi, zsuzsa and döme! it was so cool seeing how big they've all gotten but the best part was that they all remembered me and when klaudia said the opening prayer she said that she was thankful that I could come back and see them. It was such a little miracle. 
Later we taught a less active lady and went tracting and it was great.

Thursday:
We did studies in szeged and then headed home to make it back in time for angol óra. 

Friday:
We met with mária (the random néni that showed up at church a couple weeks ago and we didn't know if she was a member or not). Well it turns out she isn't a member and is very confused about the whole "one true church" thing. But she always says that if she wasn't hungarian she would be a mormon but because she is hungarian she has to be catholic...so that's interesting to discuss.. But she is the sweetest ever and I swear, she told me like a million times during the lesson that I look like her granddaughter. 
Later we went on splits with the békéscsaba sisters so I was with sister Grogan. Sister grogan is a convert from texas and super adorable. She told me that one of her friends simply invited her to seminary and she went to early morning seminary for a year before she actually went to church. She's super great and loves being a missionary. So we tracted a bit and then we met with Edit! Edit is literally so cool but the only problem is that she plays violin in a protestant church on sundays at the exact same time as church so she can't come but we'll see. She met with the sisters like five years ago and so she knows a bit about everything and says she already knows it's all true, so that was super cool. But we'll see. She's literally the sweetest ever though. When I recited the first vision she cried and was like, that is so true. So it was awesome.
 parliament with sister grogan. It's cool having your tracting area so close to pretty things
Saturday:
We had a lesson with Csilla, this thirty-something lady who is super cool. She's met with the missionaries for a long time but this was my first time getting to meet with her because of splits. It was a really good lesson. We talked about he plan of salvation and gospel of jesus christ. She had so many good questions. 
Later we met with this older couple that willets tracted on splits. His name is baranyai lajos. His wife is pretty sick and has some mental problems. We think she had a stroke or something but she isn't all there but is a sweetheart. They are super old though but he had read from the book of mormon that willets gave him and he loves it. He says he keeps it next to his chair always so he can read it. They didn't really understand too much of what we taught but they were super nice so we'll see.
Then we had MCM and játék est. 
Then we tracted this beautiful building with nice blue doors. It was pleasant. 

Sunday:
We had church and we got to go to primary for the third hour to do an object lesson so that was super fun. Then after church we played catch with one of the little girl's teddy bears but for some reason every time I caught it I was sent to börtön or prison. It required much pleading and many fake tears to get out. 
Also an awesome thing. So one of our recent converts in szeged, roli, recently moved into the kispest ward boundaries and we've been trying to call him to meet because he lives like an hour away and its hard for him to get here for church on sundays but we wanted to meet with him but he was at church!! It was so cool talking with him and catching up. It was cool too because I can talk to him better now than I could then so it was awesome. He's so great. Hopefully we can meet with him soon.
That evening we went to the szabadkais and had our weekly meeting with sister szabadkai. She is literally the most wonderful human being ever. We laugh so much with her. Next p-day we're going to go cook with her and learn to make some hungarian food. 
Also, fun thing. We're going to be on TV. President called us the other day and was like, a film crew is going to follow you around for a day. So we're going to be on some channel here in hungary. So that should be cool. I guess they just want to do a special on who the mormons are and what mormon missionaries do. And we're the lucky sisters that are going to be filmed. yay.

Well, hope you all have a great week! 
love,
Sister Heath
