SZOLNOK!!!!!!!

Wow. This has been the craziest week ever. But it has been really good. Szolnok is awesome! It is a lot different here. It is so clean and the people are so nice! I cant believe it. And there is so much work. We have had to run everywhere to get to places on time. we have a ton of investigators and it is so nice!

Szolnok is small but beautiful. We have a senior couple here and they are SO helpful and nice. It is so nice to have a senior couple. They have helped us out a ton.

So to start off with some of our investigators....the first people I met were D, G, A and E.  We teach them english and do a lot with them. When I first met them, they all showed me their BOM's and what they read in them that week. It was a lot difference teaching kids but it was really good. We also got to meet with their family last night and we were able to get the dad to participate and listen. It was a really good lesson. We see this family almost everyday. They are awesome.

Then we met with M. He is super cool! And is really interested in Joseph Smith. We showed him the restoration movie and he said that he felt like he is a lot like Joseph Smith right now and is searching for the truth. It was a really good program with him.

And we have the M family. Wow. I love them so much but it was quite a shock for me. They have 12 children. And it is a little crazy teaching them. In fact really crazy but they are awesome. The kids are learning a lot and they have been reading and praying together as a family. The parents are slowly getting more interested in the church so we will see what happens. They are a super loving family though.

We also went to Szeged from training this week and it was so beautiful! It was fun to see another city. It was a good meeting.

Church was honestly the craziest sunday. We went and picked up the M for church. We usually only have 3 kids that come with us but this time we had 5. The oldest is 12, then 10, then 9, then 8, then 4. We also had a few other kids come to church. Needless to say, we had our hands FULL. The branch is small here. I think there was about 10-20 people who were actually members. Sacrament meeting was good. The kids did pretty good and one of them even got up to bear their testimony.

Then we had primary. We got to teach primary :) there was only 8 kids but it was crazy. They are all investigators. But it was so fun to see them sing. They learned the wise man and the foolish man song and they loved it. We went over to their house for a birthday party for their 1 year old brother. They had a lot of extended family there that we were able to talk to and that was cool. All the kids also got up and showed their parents the song they learned in church. Everyone really enjoyed the song.

We also taught another family last night who is awesome! We are just teaching so many families and so many children. It is great! But we also have to be really creative. We do a game night here and we have more investigators than members come. We also do FHE's here a lot. THe work is just moving so great! I love being a missionary. I have been learning so much from the children here. They have such simple, but pure faith. It is the greatest to here the children pray. I couldnt help but feel the love of the Savior for His children when they pray. Heavenly FAther really does know us. It is the best thing to be a missionary! I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!!! And I do love Szolnok. I do miss Miskolc but Szolnok will be good for me also.

Love you all!
