The Little Things

Hey hey hey!

Hope you’re all doing well. Is it just me or is every week getting better and better and faster and faster???

Monday: After emailing we took a district walk down the Duna and we went to the AMERICAN STORE!! Ya that’s right… they have Reeses and Betty Crocker frosting and Lucky Charms and marshmallows and PEANUT BUTTER!!!!! and everything else good in this world. Too bad I can’t eat any of that 🙁 but it was fun to feel at home for a sec 🙂

Tuesday: We got to meet with Krisztián! He was in a car accident. He is okay though. We talked about the Plan of Salvation and why it is important that we are familiar with it. It was so awesome! He is really progressing a lot. Then we went to tech the last lesson to Hajni. It went super well too! LOVE that girl!! Then we taught Dezső 🙂 He is the coolest haha well were pretty sure he’s not all there but he is so fun to teach!! and he is progressing too! Then we had sportnap which was super fun. I honestly don’t really like basketball, but its fun for my companion so I am happy to go.

Wednesday: We went to the homeless shelter to pick out our regular service hours and then District meeting! Love this district. Then we taught Hajni’s friend, Dezső. It was an interesting lesson… I guess we will just have to see what happens with that. Then we went tracting and got locked in the weirdest building ever! Everyone was yelling at us and staring at us out their windows, and somehow we were locked inside the gate!! I had to be super brave and knock on this guys door who had just slammed it in our face to ask if he could help us get out. It was super awkward and he was really annoyed but he let us out haha!

Thursday: Zone conference! It was about teaching repentance and giving solid commitments. So grateful for such cool zone leaders, APs, STLs and Mission President. We just feel their love so much and its really awesome! we had a separate sister’s meeting where we talked a little bit about mental health and it was super awesome. So good to see that I’m not alone in feeling discouraged sometimes. I feel so supported by all of them! Love it 🙂 Then we had English class and we took the metro home with a member, but the doors closed right in front of him as we got on the metro and it was so sad to just drive away and see his sad face haha! We waited at the next stop though.

Friday: The most miraculous day ever probably. I wish I had more time to write this all out! A little summary will have to do for now. We were on the way to the hivatal for Hughes, and this man is staring at our name tags. He finally asked if we were from America, and then asked if we knew who the sender of a text message on his phone was. It was from our AP Elder Heaps!! iIt was an invitation to church, but the man didn’t know Hungarian. He got off the villamos, and we didn’t have time to get his name or number but we told him to call Heaps back!! Later that day we were in the metro and we saw him!! Or at least we thought it was him. We were like hey did we talk with you earlier?? and he was like umm… no? And it was super awkward because it totally wasn’t him. Then he was like wait are you Mormons? I talked with a few of you a couple days ago and I want to meet!! What the heck??? So we got his name and number and it was kind of a miracle!! Then we had splits and Sister Cribbs and I went tracting in a new area. Long story short we met this man named Hernan who was taught by the missionaries 14 years ago in Paraguay, moved to Hungary and BROUGHT HIS TWO TRIPLES WITH HIM!! And had them front and center on his bookshelf and he said he had been wanting to find us and he watches Mormon messages all the time on youtube and even watched President Hinckley on Larry King live!! ahahah!!! But literally that was probably the biggest miracle find of my entire mission!!!!!! We cannot wait to meet with him again TOMORROW!!! ahhhhhhh

Saturday: Finished splits and did some weekly planning!

Sunday: Church was so good. There was an amazing talk about the little things and how so many people make excuses about not having time for them. He said that is so stupid and that if you want to make time to keep the commandments and pray and read from the scriptures as a family that God will make time for you. So true! And so awesome! We also got to translate Young Womens… it was so stinking cute. We stood up and said the purpose in Hungarian and in English and I was tearing up so bad because I just think it is so cool that the Young Women all over the world are so united in purpose! How amazing is that! and God loves each of them individually. I hope they can all feel that.

So basically this week was so amazing and so busy. So busy that we didn’t even have time to eat dinner this week! But I’m not complaining. I love this work! The church is so true. If I need to skip some dinners to help people come closer to Christ I will do that. I was thinking about it this week, wondering how much I would be willing to sacrifice for my Savior. I hope that if I was presented with an opportunity to sacrifice something large for him I would be able to do it with faith. Working on getting there, and truly feeling the love of my Heavenly Father while doing it. Also, focus on the little things this week! Pray sincerely, read from the Book of Mormon, be a little kinder, give a little more, love a little better. You will see people through the Savior’s eyes if you would just do these little things. How stinking cool is that? To be able to see people for who they are, sons and daughters of God! How much potential do they have??

Have the best week! Thinking of you and loving you and praying for you always. <3

sok szeretettel,
