How fast a mission changes!

Hello family! This week has been super crazy and super good! We have had the best week ever and we have been working super hard!!! We got 7 new legit investigators this week and we had 6 people come to church on Sunday!!!! That is the most I have ever had come! It was super awesome! Everything this week has just gone just the way it was supposed to...until the end haha! We will start with the beginning of the week.

K and Z. We met with the cutest family ever that is really interested in the church. They investigated a long time ago but we arent really sure what happened. Then I guess K found out there were sisters serving in Pécs so she called the branch president here and asked for our number. We had only been meeting with her but monday, she called and asked us to come over to her house. We met her husband, he is a super cool guy and is a police officer. They are the greatest family and have the cutest little 2 year old that loves trucks and cars! We had the neatest lesson with them and they ended up coming to church on sunday and they loved it. I love this family! We also got to go over yesterday and teach them and it went super well. I am going to miss them a lot.

On tuesday, we had family night with the branch members. One of the branch members is in a wheelchair and has a lot of physical hardships. But he is the happiest person I have ever met. I was talking to him and asked him how he always managaes to be so happy and positive. He said something along the lines of this: (it was hungarian so Im not sure what the exact translation would be) 'sometimes you dont smile because you are happy, sometimes you just have to smile because your strong and you know that God will help you through whatever you go through.' That really hit me so hard. These members are amazing over here and have taught me so much! In our english class we also talked about trails and whether or not they are a good or bad thing and if we would trade any of our trials that we have gone through. It was really inteseresting to hear what people had to say. The majority of the people werent really religious but they all made the comment that when they went through trials, they all turned to God for help. It was interesting for me this week to think about my trials right now and the trials that I have gone through and how they have helped me to become to person and missionary I am today. This will be a new set of trials to go through that I will be able to learn something new and stretch even more. Missions, I am learning, definitely have a lot of unique gifts and a lot of the times I dont see the use of the gift until much later, but I always see why I needed the gift later down the road. I dont know why I am leaving Pécs after just a short time but I know that it will be a great experience for me even though it is hard.

I love you all! Sok Szeretettel!

I got my BOM and my bible split! with a super cool cover! I love them!
