We went on quite a few adventures trying to find our way around different parts of Miskolc. It isnt too big, we just both haven't been here for too long. It was cool to go see different things that Miskolc had. Also this week we had a small waterfight with some of the members. we were just flicking water at each other and come to find out, both of the members and my companion have never been in an actual waterfight. I was shocked. I am pretty sure that was almost a weekly occurence when I was growing up.
Our biggest adventure though was Friday night. We had just been walking home and we were coming down our street, when I noticed 3 people who were acting kind of funny and police were walking after them. I grabbed my companion and started walking faster so we could get home. As we passed our neighboring apartment house, I glanced over inside and it was swarming with police all over on the staircase. So we ran down to our apartment and got in and thought everything was good. We walked up to our apartment, and I called one of the members to plan a few things for the next day. I was sitting down at the kitchen table, we had been home for probably less than 5 minutes, when someone banged so loud on the widow right beside me that I thought it was going to break. I almost peed my pants. It scared me so bad. it was a police officer. We went out and opened the door for him and he told us that we had to get out of our apartment and out to the street right away. i didnt think we would be too long, so we just grabbed our coats and purses and left. We got back out on the street and our whole street was blocked off, there were cops everywhere and they were kicking everyone out of their houses. I was trying to find someone I could talk to to see what was going on, but the police wouldnt talk to us. So i called the elders and they came to our rescue with the car. They speak better hungarian too so they also asked the police what was going on. They just told us we had to get off the street and that we couldnt go back to our apartment probably for the rest of the night or longer. So we were homeless sister missionaries haha! anyways, But everyone was taking really good care of us. the members were all trying to figure out what happened, the elders took us to the branch house, and we were trying to figure out what to do with President. By then it was pretty late, so President just decided to rent us a hotel. it was the nicest hotel ever! we had a delicious free breakfast and everything. it was just weird being in a hotel. But the next day, the elders went back to check our apartment and everything was just back to normal. We still have no idea what happened. But we were safe. And we were well taken care of be everyone around us. It was a great adventure!!!
Our investigators are doing awesome and we have been able to find a lot of new people this week. One day, we had quite a bit of time to do some tracting and we were wondering where to go. We just started walking, and both of us felt like we needed to go into a certain building, but both of us thought it had already been recently tracted so we werent going to do it. We did it anyways and we ended up finding 3 investigators in the building and 1 of them was a super nice family that we are meeting with again next week!
I have also learned this week the power that a smile and a little bit of laughter can be. it really can just cheer up anyone's day. yesterday, there was a man who came to church who speaks no Hungarian at all, but all the people love him. Come to find out, he had come on some teaching appointments with the sisters here to visit a family that lives in a little village about an hour bus ride away. it is a family of 15 and they are really interested in the church and we still talk with them on the phone, but we cant teach them anymore because of how far away they live. we can only teach them if they come to church. And this family loves this man even though he cant speak the language. So he told us he is going to go to their house to try and help them come to church so we can teach them, even though he cant speak the language. it was amazing to see that actions really are so much more powerful than words. it is amazing what a little smile, a little laughter, and some kindness can do. words are necessary.
well i love you all! hope you all are doing great! talk to you next week.
