Szia Family!!!

It sounds like everyone is doing good. I hope Julie is doing okay! She is in my prayers! That is really so sad!

We had such a good week this week! We saw so many little miracles each day when we were streeting and it was amazing! There are just a couple that I really want to share.

R. We were walking along the street hurrying to get home and Sister Rupard was on the phone. I noticed this lady for some reason - nothing out of the ordinary with her - and I thought maybe I should street her. Then I thought no, it would be awkward because I would have to do it by myself, it was getting dark, we were in a hurry home, and I thought maybe my companion would be a little annoyed if I stopped and talked to her. But then at the last minute, just as she was passing by, I stopped her and started talking with her. I found out that she was already a member just inactive and so we kept talking and all the sudden I just got this overwhelming love for her as I was talking to her. I was able to bear my testimony on how much Heavenly Father loved her no matter what and she just started sobbing and said that she had been feeling that she needed to come back to church. And then all of the sudden, she just said she really had to leave and left before I could ask her last name or get her phone number. I was so sad! But I know that Heavenly Father knew exactly who she is and she is being closely watched over. It was super cool!

Also this week, I got to go on splits with one of the older sisters here. It was an AMAZING experience! We taught A - the guy from Sudan and we had an awesome lesson. We taught him the first part of the plan of salvation and everything went so well. And guess what??? He is getting baptized on DEC 14th!!!! We are so excited! He came to the saturday morning and priesthood session of conference and loved them both! I think the saturday morning session was just perfect for him! He really liked it. We are really excited!

Also another miracle we saw when we were on splits. We decided to go visit this older neni that Sister Oberhansley taught when she was here. We went and taught her a little lesson and of course she made us treats and then just as we were about to leave she gave us 10 eggs in a sack. We really did not want eggs of all things because we still had quite a few hours before we were going home and we didnt want them to break in our bags. But we took them. And then we had about 30 minutes until our next program started. We decided to go tracting and try and get a let in. The first csengő (bell) we rang was this other cute néni and she told us that she already believed in Christ. We said great, so do we and we have a message about Him! So she let us in and as we were talking to her, we found out she had gone shopping that morning and the store had run out of eggs. She was so sad because that meant she was going to have to get up early the next morning and get bundled up and go out in the cold to get eggs and she really didnt want to do that. Well, what would you know....we came to the rescue and gave her our eggs!!! What a random thing to have! She was shocked and asked us 'now what church are you from?' How did you know this was exactly what I just prayed for? You guys are my angels' It was so cool!

Now comes the sad part of our week. Saturday night we had general conference and it was awesome! It was only in Hungarian so it was really hard to understand but I could get some things out of it. A came and he loved it! And sunday morning we spent all morning calling our investigators to make last minute reminders to them about it. A lot of them were supposed to come - and we were especially excited about one investigator because she has a really hard time coming on sundays to church. We have been working with her for 2 weeks to prepare for conference and so she set the time aside and was so excited to come. We had everything all set up and were so excited for conference! And then we went to the branch house a little before  2 when they were supposed to be showing the sessions and NO ONE and NOTHING was there. No computer, no projector, no members. It was only us and the elders, one of the elders investigators, and one member. We found out that I guess some things had happened earlier that morning and some of the members got offended so they just decided to cancel general conference. We were so sad!!! We worked so hard to get our investigators to come! And some of the other members who had no other access to watch it also came but werent able to. It was honestly heartbreaking to me. It was a pretty hard Sunday. But I learned a lot from the experience. It made me think about what my testimony is really rooted in. The people in the church or the Lord? Anyways, we had to call and cancel with all of our investigators.

But on the other hand, we got to go HIKING today! It was so much fun! We went with some of the other missionaries from Debrecen and some senior couples and it was the coolest hike ever! It took a lot longer than we thought but it was so worth it! Hungary is beautiful and we couldnt have asked for a prettier day to go hiking!

Thanks for all your letters and support. I appreciate all that you guys do for me! Love you all a ton!
