All of our investigators have been doing wonderful! We were super excited on Sunday that E came to church (we have been trying to get her to come for a really long time!) And anyways, she came and she had an awesome experience!!! I am the one that plays piano in sacrament meeting here and I get pretty nervous sometimes playing because I am not the best at accompanying people. So I had been practicing some, but for some reason (aka the spirit) I felt like I needed to play two specific hymns for Sunday even though I had just recently played them. Lelkem nyugod (be still my soul) and Tudom, hogy én megvaltom él (I know that my Redeemer lives). I practiced them and didn't think much of it. Then in sacrament, I played those two and it was the best I have ever played them! It was just what E needed. She said she needed to feel peace about her daughters death and she said she just felt completely loved while she heard those songs. And she took the hymn books home and is reading them. It was just so ironic, because this week we had debated about whether or not we could continue teaching her because she had been having a hard time keeping commitments. But through the music she was able to feel the spirit and we met with her yesterday and she had read out of the BOM and prayed! It was awesome! I am really going to miss E! And also her daughter M, and M's daughter, Z. We are the best of friends! Last time we went over to their house, Z colored me a little book and was trying to give me all this stuff! I just love them so much! It is going to be hard to say good bye to them tonight. That's the hard part about missions....you come to love these people so incredibly much and then you just have to leave them. I will hopefully be able to keep in contact with them....hopefully they can understand what I am saying in letters haha!
We also had K and her 4 kids come to church on Sunday. They are still having a hard time in their family and we are just hoping and praying that they make the Lord a priority in their life because they really need the Lords help! The little kids are sure adorable! One of them named D is my little buddy and will pretty much not leave my side every time they come to church or we go there! I am gonna miss him!
I have just had the greatest transfer ever in Duna. I have learned so much and I have come to love these people so much. It is so incredibly hard to leave. So hard. These people are so amazing here and have been through SO much in their lives. The members here are so incredibly strong and it amazes me all that they do for the church here. There is a lot of responsibility on the active members of the church here. But it is growing so much! And the members are so eager to help us in our missionary work. We really can't do it without the members!
I am really excited to go to Pécs and to serve there. It will be a great opportunity and I am sure that I will be able to come to love the people there as well. I so wish that I could have stayed a little longer here in Duna, but I know Pécs will be great too. Missions are so incredibly hard. There is so many ups and downs you face during the day. It is so incredibly hard. This week I have learned a lot about humility. Being out here has really opened my eyes to how incredibly blessed I am to have so much in my life. Keeping the commandments really does bless people and their families. We are so very lucky to have the wonderful family that we do. And our family is strong because mom and dad have put the Lord first in their lives. Everything else falls into place if you put the Lord first. It amazing to see the blessings in other peoples lives as they put the Lord first as well. I love being a missionary even though it is extremely difficult and sometimes seems impossible to do. I know the Lord is involved in the small details of His children's lives and He wants what is best for us. I know that the Lord gives us trials and challenges for a reason. I love the Gospel so much. And I know that as we do the simple and small things, i.e. say your prayers, read your scriptures, go to church - we hear them all the time, over and over again, but that is really what our spirit needs in order to grow every day. Its those simple and small things over and over again that make our testimonies strong and firm. I just love being a missionary!
