Don’t Limit God

Hey there everyone!

This week was pretty good! It went quick just like the rest of them. Hoping I can continue to get the most out of every moment for these last 3 weeks of my mission.

Monday: After emailing we got paninis and went to take a walk down the Duna in front of parliament. it was so beautiful! and then we went to Mr Funk, the donut place in the belváros that I have been DYING to go to!! I ate a unicorn donut and can’t remember a time in my life when I was happier. It was the best day ever. Then when we got home for the night we found flowers and chocolate bunnies and sűti! Some Americans that had visited in church the day before came over to drop off some treats for us! We were so happy and I just love nice people. They made the day ever better!!! 🙂

Tuesday: We got to see Irén and she made us delicious tea and keksz and it was just so pleasant. Then we had service and we spoke a lot of english and it was great! And then we got to go see Dezső. He is still doing well, we just read a chapter with him in the Book of Mormon every week because he can’t read himself. He is always so happy to see us and to talk about church things because he knows they are important. So cute hahaha!

Wednesday: We got to see Krisztián again 🙂 He gave us some really cool old hungarian money that they don’t use anymore and it was so awesome. He was so happy to see us so happy from the cute gift! Then we just had a short talk about repentance and how we can become more like Christ through using his atonement. I think he liked it… he is so amazing and we really love him, but he is just having a hard time taking his first big step of faith. It is so hard because I know that once he takes it he will be so happy!! He just needs to trust God. Working on that with him 🙂 Then we met with Zoli, he is still doing really well too! He is still working towards April 14 for his bap date and I think it will be really really great! So excited about this! Then we got to See Vióla and Emma. Her husband moved to Germany for work and they will be following him in about 2 months. So she is feeling a little lonely and its sad. But we were able to play with cutest little Emma and help them to feel God’s love and the spirit and it was so great! Love the cute szászék! Then we had a quick district meeting and called it a night.

Thursday: We had zone training woot woot! We had to give a training to the zone since we are STLs and I think it actually went pretty well. It was about what being a successful missionary means and how we can strive for that and continue growing. Then at the end of zone conference was dying testimonies… AH! The moment I have been dreading since I got here. Basically everyone that is leaving soon gives their last testimony to the zone and everyone cries and it is so sad and touching. I love them when I’m not the one up there talking! Well, this was my lat zone conference, so it was my turn to talk. I cried like a baby (nothing has changed too much) haha and I talked about the things I feel that I have learned on my mission. I still can’t believe how soon its ending. I kinda hate it but I’m trying to be positive! Life is only just beginning! Then we had angol óra and mcm and that was it!

Friday: We had service again which was great and then we got to go to a dinner appointment at the Némethéks! It was the most pleasant evening ever!!! They made us so much delicious food and they gave us a ton of second hand clothes and they sent us home with a huge bag full of leftover food! Ah it was so so so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant get over how much I love cutest Gyöngyi!!!! Then we headed over to the Budai Nővéreks place to start splits 🙂IMG_1675

Saturday: I had a really really great split with sister Schrad. I love that girl!!! She had a doctor appointment and we ran around town and streeted and talked to people and got lunch at this wok bar and then picked up Dezső for the best night ever. It was hip hop night at the stake center!!! So all the missionaries from our zone got to go and bring investigators and there was a dj and a potluck dinner and we learned some really cool dance moves! It was a total success, and 4 of our investigators actually came!! What the what!? Loved it.

Sunday: Dezső came to church! and it was a great one too 🙂 Then after church we met with Angéla and Zoltán and we talked about families with them. Then we got to meet with Zsolt and get a little deeper into the plan of salvation. I love this gospel you guys! There is just an answer to every single question and I think that is wonderful! 🙂

So I was thinking this week about how sometimes I feel like we limit God. He is ready and willing to help us IF we have the faith to turn to Him and let Him carry us. But sometimes, we don’t have that faith. Sometimes we don’t trust Him as much as we should or could, and by so doing, we limit Him. He has the power to change our lives and give us so much beyond what we thought we could get from Him. So trust in Him! Believe that His power will work for you in your life. In someones dying testimony my first transfer, she said something that she thought a lot about on her mission was this little quote, “Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they are yours.” That is something that I have never forgotten and it is something that has changed my mission. I know that as we let go of what holds us back and put ourselves completely in the Lord’s hands, we will be so blessed and happy and our lives will become more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.

Well that’s it for this week. Loving every moment and I am just so happy! Love you all and I will see you so soon 🙂

sok szeretettel,
Maosn Nővér
