Time warp!

Im pretty sure there is some sort of time warp that you go through when you go on a mission. Time goes by SO FAST! Which can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. This week has been super awesome! We have been working really hard! We have 4 new investigators, 2 people on baptism date, and we made the high record of getting 21 people contacted that we met throughout the week. Typically missionaries only get about 10. The 2 people we have on baptism date are going through super hard times! So hopefully they will pull through it and make it to their baptism date! We have a couple other investigators and we are not sure how they will go this week. One of them is a 16 year old kid that has researched TONS about churches. He just walked into the church one day and said he wanted to know more. He had heard all these rumors about the church and he found out that none of them were true. He speaks perfect english and knows the bible way good. He keeps calling and asking us all these questions so we'll see how things turn out there.
The highlight of my week though was meeting with one of our investigators. The last sisters met her when they went to go look up a less active member. No one was home so they left a pass along card and a day later they received a phone call from her saying she wanted to know more. She is awesome! They met with her and she was going to get baptized in January but for some reason she couldn't do it at the last minute. We didn't really know what to talk with her about, she hadn't met with the missionaries for a while. When we showed up to her house, I thought the lesson was going to be a disaster. She thought different missionaries were going to be coming and she didn't really want to meet with us. Then she found out that there were 3 sisters instead of just 2 and we also brought a member from the ward so she had a lot more people coming than she was planning on. She hurried to make some more to eat and anyways...it was just not very good at the beginning. But the lesson turned out awesome! The Lord really knew who she was! We had made plans to teach her the restoration and start over with her but just before we got to her house we decided we needed to read Alma 36 with her. We weren't sure why but we did anyways. So we started reading Alma 36 with her and it was amazing! We talked about how Alma the younger had persecuted the church and how he was able to experience the wonderful gift of the atonement. Our investigator felt the spirit so strong and couldn't make it through reading the whole chapter. It was amazing for me to see the joy in someones life when they first experience the joy and peace of the atonement. It was an awesome lesson and she was so thankful that we could come. She just thanked us for taking the time to come and speak to her even when we cant speak the language. That is what missionary work is all about...letting people experience the love of the Savior! It makes missionary work totally worth it!
General conference was amazing! I didnt get to see the last session on Sunday but all the other sessions were way good! We had a few investigators come and they loved it! One of the things I learned is: even the prophet has a hard time speaking Hungarian! haha! When he said the name debrecsen we all started to laugh because he said it how people from america would say it. It was really cool he talked about Hungary though...the Hungarians thought it was way cool and were so happy!
Not much else has really happened....we have been teaching a lot of people but usually they arent interested past the first lesson. The Hungarian is REALLY hard! All the ward members are awesome and are so good at teaching me! I try to ask them a question and they just smile and pretend like they understood what I was saying haha! Its really funny but discouraging at the same time. It has been a benefit though not being able to speak the language....my companion goes up to random people and ask if they will practice speaking Hungarian to 'her friend' (aka ME). Its super awkward but we have gotten a couple BOMs out doing that. Everyone is super patient and understands though...they are all trying to learn english. That is something we have ot be really careful about because a lot of people meet with us just to try to practice their english.
Well that is about it. Being in Hungary is the greatest! The people here are so great and are so kind! I love being a missionary even though it is definitely hard! I hope you are all doing well! Love ya lots!
