This week has been so good and so busy! We celebrated our halfway point by working like crazy!!! We had so many programs and were literally running all over the city. We didnt even get in a lunch and we just had to grab a 'Hungarian' McDonalds paprika burger for dinner cause we were pretty busy. It was tiring but it felt so good to just be so busy doing something that feels so good! I just love being a missionary and working! Best feeling ever!
This week we went on splits with the Training sisters and it was so good! I went with Sister Kennedy. She was my trainer and it went so well! I realized that I really have come a long ways in the language and also that I still have a LONG ways to go. It was a really neat experience to go back and work with Sister Kennedy. I have learned a lot from her! We went tracting when I first got there (I went to Debrecen - such a cool city!). We were tracting and we tracted this door and this guy around 30 answered. We told him that we were missionaries and that we were doing a survey (that is what a lot of the missionaries do when we go tracting here). He told us very bluntly that he DID NOT believe in a God or anything. We told him we just wanted to ask him a few questions and then all the sudden he just changed. I cant really explain it, but he just changed. And he told us that we could come in. So we went in and just asked him the normal question....How many books he reads in a year, if he is interested in learning english, and then Sister Kennedy changed the question and asked what he thought the purpose of life was. He just stopped and looked at us and said 'Honestly, I was just thinking about that when you guys knocked on my door. I was thinking that I really need to figure out my life and what I need to be doing. I knew I needed to talk to someone about my life to help me but I didnt know who. Then you two rang my doorbell. I never let people in my door.' It was so cool!!!! He proceeded to tell us that he had a cute little 4 year old that meant everything to him! We had a super good short lesson with him and then we set up for another time to come back. I am super bummed that I wont be able to teach him but I am really glad I got to experience that! Super cool!
We had 5 investigators to church yesterday! That was really cool! A came - he is doing great and he is getting so close to the members! Members make a huge difference! Also J and K came too. This week we really started focusing on the basics with them - reading and applying the scriptures, and really praying with a sincere heart. Since they have been doing those, we have had awesome programs with them and they came to church! The basics really are the basics for a reason! The scriptures are so powerful! It was a good day at church!
I just love being a missionary. We experience so many blessings and see the Lord blessing so many people. Yesterday in church as I was looking around at the people in the ward, I just realized how great and strong these people are. They are so loving and just so willing to follow the Lord. I realized that these people here have just become like my little family that I have just been able to come to love so quickly. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!!!! They are so amazing! i am so glad that you all got to meet B. I just cant describe in words how difficult some of the members circumstances are but how willing they are to stand in their faith. Its just amazing how much your love can grow when you serve people and put the Lord first. I love being a missionary!!!! I see so many blessings and tender mercies everyday! Thanks for all your love and support. Love you all tons!
