Tracting with the JWs??

Hello!!!

Once again, I hope everyone had a good week and are doing well getting back into the swing of things for the new school year! To be honest I’m a little jealous of everyone going back to school, but I can definitely wait until next year 🙂 This week was pretty boring but still a really good and happy one.

Tuesday: I FORGOT TO TELL YOU! Last week on Pday we went to Kecskemét to go see FINDING DORY!! We won a challenge from our mission president so we got to go see a movie and it was basically the happiest day. Even though it was all in Hungarian I totally understood most of it and it was great language practice. I feel a lot more confident in my language abilities after that 🙂

Wednesday: We were a little sad about not going up to Budapest for transfers like everyone else, but we had probably the funniest day ever. We just went finding all day, and accidentally found ourselves tracting in the same building as some Jehovah’s Witnesses. I TOTALLY have so much respect for all missionaries, but you have to admit that situation is a little awkward. So we turned the corner and made awkward eye contact with each other and then we decided to move on to another building hahaha! Then in the next building we got cussed out pretty badly like maybe 4 or 5 times! Oh dear, gotta love missionary life! I used to get so upset when things like that would happen or when people would just be straight up MEAN to us. But recently I have learned how to shake it off and just laugh at it. It all makes for good stories later, anyways 🙂

Thursday: We got to go to Budapest to go to a dr appointment, which was actually the worst ever but that’s okay. I got a package at the mission home which made me happy, and for the whole train ride there was the hugest brightest red moon I have ever seen! Which made me really happy. Just felt like God was watching over me in the moment 🙂

Friday: I finally got to meet our investigator, Dalma. She has been out of town for a few weeks. The only thing keeping her from being baptized was that she needed her marriage papers translated and sent here from Romania…AND THEY ARRIVED THIS WEEK!!!! So she is planning a wedding and after that, we get to plan a baptism!!! WOOT WOOT!!! We are soooo so stinking excited for her. She is THE cutest.

Saturday: Our first district meeting all together this transfer which was great of course. Our elders are Elder Haws (served with him in Szolnok my first transfer) and Elder Szerdi (served with him in Kaposvár last transfer!) so that’s fun to be able to serve with people I already know.

Sunday: Melinda, OUR FAVORITE came to church with us!! And she said she loved it so much that she wants to start coming every week. What the?! Too easy! We are so happy that she has been able to feel God’s love and that we have been able to help her so much over these last two weeks. This girl is so golden.

Randoms:

I don’t know why but my companion and I have had Star Wars stuck in our heads for the whole last month and it’s so funny because there are just weird Star Wars sounds coming from our apartment all the time. It’s weird what gets stuck in your head when you don’t have access to music haha!

We found a Mario wall near the library and I thought my sister would really appreciate that. Shout out to the best sister!! Love you Ash!!

So this week was a little slower but like I said still entertaining and we are so happy 🙂

I learned something about myself this week. So at the doctor, the doctor kind of broke some hard news to me saying that she doesn’t think anyone can help me with my health issues. That she thinks that they will never find out how to fix me and help me be able to eat normal foods again. And at first that was really hard to hear, and of course I had teary eyes walking out of there. But within a few hours I just flipped a switch and decided that if that was what Heavenly Father wanted for me and my life, than I am ready and willing to do it.  But…then I was thinking about that decision later and I realized WHAT!?!? How did I just calmly do that? Decide that I was fine with forever being sick?? I don’t even know. But I do know that I have changed so much from this mission. I am learning so much about how much better God knows my plan. I feel like I look back to who I was when I left to go into the MTC, almost 9 months ago, and then I look at myself in the mirror and I don’t even recognize who that girl is from back in last December. I realized that I really have changed, but in the best way possible! I have learned so much about this gospel and about my Savior and I wouldn’t trade these experiences for ANYTHING! Really, I wouldn’t.

(But side note… I am not yet fully convinced that this is the final answer on my sickness and that that really is what God wants for me. I really think at home we will be able to find something out…)

I love you guys and I hope you can find a miracle in every day of this week.

Sok szeretettel,
