I love being a missionary!

So first off, I would just like to thank you ALL for reminding me of how much longer I have left...which isnt very long. Every single one of you mentioned how long I had left. Thanks for giving me a heart attack. I cant believe how fast time flies by!!!! Being a missionary is just the greatest.

So last week we had a super fun p day. We went with some of the members to Tapolca. we went on these bobsled type things and they were so much fun!!!!! i love the members here! they are so cool! then we went and played on some of the playgrounds. It was so much fun to be with the members and get to know them better. These members are such a great example to me! It really does cease to amaze me how incredibly strong they are. So many of them have so many trials in their lives because they are Mormon. For a lot of members, life got a lot harder for them when they became a member rather than getting easier. It just ceases to amaze me how strong they are and what examples they are to me!

So I'm not going to lie....this week was a pretty hard week with the work. Last week we fasted that we could find some more investigators and it was so hard this week cause we didnt have a whole lot of success in finding. We did get one let-in this week and it was so funny because we had just said a prayer to finish up when the doorbell rang. It was missionaries from another church and they were very brupt with the man about us. Anyways, we ended up leaving and the missionaries from the other church were waiting on the steps for us to come out. They wanted to bible bash with us but we had to get going to another program which didnt make them very happy.

This week they had nő nap (girls day) here. we went to the palacsinta house restaurant and had the best palacsintas ever! they were so delicious! and then on sunday they had all the young men gives roses to all the girls. i guess on girls day, boys can go up to girls and tell them happy girls day and then spray them with water and that means that they like them. i guess its a good thing i am not a hungarian girl because i would not let someone come get me wet and not get them wet back haha! i love Hungarian traditions!

Last night, we did have a tender mercy. We met with this lady named I. She has 3 older kids and is going through a super hard time. her husband of 24 years just left her 5 months ago because things started to get hard financially with her family. We had an awesome program with her and she was just so humble. It is amazing to be a missionary because you can have a little glimpse of how much Heavenly Father really does love all of His children. And in the process, you also understand how much He loves you too. It is really hard being a missionary sometimes, especially when it seems like no one will even give you the time of day to listen to what you have to say, but it makes all the work worth it when you can help that one person who needs it the most.

Thanks for all the letters! i love you guys tons!
