I love life!!!

HEY HEY HEY EVERYONE!

I’m excited to be emailing if you can’t tell.

This week was fantabulous. Is that a word? I don’t know, but if so it is a good one.

Tuesday: We cleaned the house up real nice which just made me feel so good about life, obviously. Then we went to service and no one was there so we just kind of hung out at the homeless shelter and did some extra studies, and then we got to go visit Dezső! We had been tracting before Dezsős and we really wanted a treat. So I got my favorite bitter lemon lemonade, and as we sat down at Dezsős table I decided to sneak a little sip before the lesson started. And the show Zaboomafoo was on his TV in Hungarian and I freaked out and got so distracted because that show was my childhood! I was so distracted, in fact, that I didn’t even realize that the bitter lemon soda thing exploded ALL OVER MY LAP!! It was too late by the time a realized what had happened, and I had a puddle of lemonade in my lap and a puddle on the floor. I was so embarrassed. He was so cool about it though and just laughed it off. Then we had a great lesson with him and we read from the Book of Mormon, which he loves! And he agreed to come to church again which made us so so happy.

Wednesday: We got to finally meet with Krisztián again! And we talked a lot about getting answers to our prayers and what he needs to look for. It was a great discussion and he always has so many good questions. He is definitely progressing, slowly but surely 🙂 Then we got to go meet with a man named Zoltán (Zoli) who has met with missionaries for like a LOT of years and always comes to angol óra and church and everything. We talked to him and the elders and we found out that neither of us were teaching him! We always assumed he was the elders investigator, and they just assumed that he was ours. So we set up with him and had a great lesson!! He has been on bap date like a million and three times before, but we have faith in him! And we are ready to help him learn 🙂 Also Wednesday was Women’s Day! It’s really cute because men just give women everywhere flowers and candy and stuff. We were walking down the street and a man comes up to us and hands us Milka bars for free!! They were giving them to everyone that walked by and it was the best thing ever!!!

Thursday: We had a district meeting and tracting and angol óra. We brought Swenson’s guitar to angol óra and wrote a song together and it was so cute!!!! Great day.

Friday: We had another splits! And this time I got to go with Sister Vasica, my third companion!! It was so great to be together again just like old times. So many feelings and memories, man. We had service and mcm and tracting and it was great. Her companion, Schrad Nővér is the coolest human ever. She was baptized about a year and a half ago and left on her mission immediately as soon as she had been old enough (after a year of being baptized) and she is AMAZING!! We shared so many cool stories, love these girls and I learn so much from them always!

Saturday: We finished splits, and we helped a member from Kaposvár get to the stake center for a fiatal buli. Her name is Évi and she is so cute. She is Brigi’s daughter, and Magdus’s grand daughter. She was on a mission while I was in Kaposvar, but now she is home! Magdus ended up being baptized, I don’t know if I ever told you guys that! And it was so fun to chat with Evi and talk about her family and how grateful she is that missionaries taught her family and helped them to live with God in their lives! So cute 🙂 Then we streeted A LOT and had a lot of fun! I don’t hate streeting as much as I thought I did. It’s so scary but I have been really enjoying it lately. It’s great!

Sunday: Weirdest day of my life for a lot of reasons, but Dezső came to church again!!! Woohoo!! And the rest is a long story that I do not have enough time to type out. But it was a really good day! And then we finally got to meet with Zsolt again too!! That was a pretty chill lesson, just getting to know Swenson Nővér and all that good stuff 🙂 We found out that we have the same mission scripture, Alma 26:12 so we read that and discussed it and it was really good!!

So this week was really good! I’m sorry I feel like my emails are getting less and less exciting and shorter and shorter as the time goes on … not to mention less and less understandable, haha! But I just want you all to know how much I love this work. I love these people, and I love this country. Every day I just wake up so excited to be here! And to be a missionary and to wear my name tag and to be able to share the best message with these people. I love everything about my mission, even the hard things. I think life is meant to be that way! I have really learned that happiness is a choice. Each day as I wake up I tell myself that it will be a happy day, and it almost always is! As we have the right perspective we will be blessed to see the world and other people through God’s eyes which is a huge blessing! I love life!!!

Have the best week ever! Remember to do the little things, because they are so important!!!
