So for the week. We
had a few successes and a couple disasters this week.
Towards the beginning
of the week, we got a call from a senior couple who specializes in service
projects throughout the country. They asked us to translate for them, so we
brought a member who knows english and went to help them. Long story short- The
project was from a member here who teaches at a school that needs help with a
few projects. Since the senior couple may or may not have left the information
at home, we weren't 100% sure of what to do. Luckily the member we brought knew
the school where the lady worked...
Long story short, the
member worked at 2 different schools, and one was not supposed to find out
about the other. Unfortunately, we went to the wrong school and spilled the
beans and made life harder for a lot of people who were trying to sneakily
start a new school. The end.
Later in the week, we
headed up to Budapest for an important meeting, and I didn't even fall
asleep!
Afterwards, we
switched and went on splits with the APs. When people would actually talk to us
at the door, the first thing we would ask was, "What is the best Hungarian
food?" After we would talk for a little bit, I think people realize that
we aren't as weird or crazy as they supposed, and they are more willing to
talk. Thomas and I tried the same thing here, and we've actually found a lot
more success. A family even told us to come back this week!
We got to teach a few
families this week already!
One investigator
family was super fun. We normally have a FHE with them and someone is assigned
the spiritual thought and snack for the week. This time was my turn, so I
brought cheese and crackers and somehow made a connection to loving everyone
and serving others. It was delicious.
One is a less active
family. We got the other elders with us to teach like 8 kids that live in less
than ideal conditions. We taught them about prophets in the scriptures and then
played soccer with them. Their grandma is a member and wants us to come and
show them a good example every once in a while. Then they came to our
"Sportnap" or sport day and played some soccer with us. They're like
8 years old and suuuper good.
On the 4th, we helped
put on "America's birthday party." My companion made an american
flagout of snickerdoodles. The party was super great and a ton of investigators
came with the members. Some guy even brought a British relative who was just in
town, haha. Happy 4th of July!
It's getting harder
and harder to stay awake in church.
Other than this,
things kind of went how they normally do. We are having a good time here still,
and working to find some more awesome people!
Yes, I love you all,
bye
