N, A, and Á. They are the coolest family and we have been helping them with English because they were moving on sunday (yesterday). We were mainly helping them with english but then they started asking all sorts of questions about the church and about what we believe in. they ended up inviting us over to their house for dinner the next day and it turned out so good! I am going to really miss them. They are an awesome family.
we also met with another lady, g, that met with the sisters a while ago. she is really busy but we found out she reads the BOM every night. We had a really good lesson with her! Unfortunately she is super busy so cant meet very often.
we went back and met with A who we met on miracle saturday. She was the one who lost her husband. When we went over to her house, she immediately asked us to say another prayer so she could feel the same way she felt when we were there the first time. it was interesting that she doesnt believe it God, but wanted us to say a prayer. She knows there is something out there, she just has to find it. It was a good lesson with her.
we also met with L a few times from miracle saturday. He has come to church twice now and he LOVED it both times. He knows a lot about the bible and has been asking all sorts of questions about baptism. When we went to go over to teach him, he said that he had a little bit of süti for us (dessert) and he pulled out this huge cake and 2 giant milka bars haha!
We also met with é from miracle saturday this week too. we were planning on just going over there and giving her a BOM and then asking her when we could come back because we didnt have too much time. When we ringed into her apartment, she just buzzed us in without asking who it was. when we went up to the door, she opened it and told us that she knew it was us and that she knew we were going to come visit today. she said she had been waiting for us. she had some süti for us and we sat down to talk with her. She had been thinking a lot about us and about we talked about after we left and she had a lot of questions. we told her about the BOM and she politely listened to us. But afterwards, i just felt like we could not leave yet. There was something else we needed to say or do. i just had no idea what. so we just start asking questions and listening. it was such a good program. I just knew that God is so aware of her, even if she doesnt feel that He is. Now it is just up to her to act. God is so aware of His children. she also asked if we could say another prayer with her (and of course we did!) People feel the power of prayer.
we also got to meet with the families we found and they are all doing good! i love teaching families!!!! one of the families has a little 5 year old boy who is and has been pretty sick. As we were talking with the mom, I just realized once again how the gospel brings hope and literally a light into peoples lives. i love being a missionary!!
We also had another little adventure with our apartment this week haha! we were walking home one night when my companion told me that i had the keys. I was pretty sure i didnt have them but looked. I didnt have them. And neither did my companion. We had no idea where they could be when my companion realized she accidentally left them in our doorlock. So instead of being kicked OUT of our apartment, we couldnt get IN to our apartment. We tried to buzz into our neighbors to let us in the building. that was our first time using the csengő box (the box to buzz into people) and we realized that there is a reason that no one ever buzz's into us....because our csengő box is broken haha! so anyways, we said a little prayer that someone in our building would be coming home soon so we could get home on time and this nice man, who had heard us trying to get into the building for about a half hour, came to our rescue and let us in. haha! we love adventures!!!!! haha!
Church was also awesome yesterday. We had one of the members of the district presidency for hungary come and speak and it was so good. He talked about weaknesses and how God has the power to make us perfect in one instant but He doesnt because having weaknesses helps us learn and grow closer to Him. Having weaknesses helps us grow closer to the Savior if we allow them too. We cant just shrink from our weaknesses but we have to stand and face them with the Lord. He also talked about how sometimes people think that when we follow Christ, everything will be easier and that is not true. Christ was the perfect person and did everything that was asked of Him. His life was not easy. Following Christ sometimes means that we too have to take up our crosses and bear things that are not easy because of our believe. it was so good! just the talk that i needed! Dont forget that as members of the church, we are witnesses of God at ALL times, not just in the 3 hours we are at church during the week. i love you all! Hope you are doing great! Laurie i hope everything goes well for you and the babies this week! i am praying for you guys! Love you all!
