Hello!
So we decided to try emailing later in the day, but apparently this library
closes 20 minutes after we arrived here, so we'll make this snappy.
We had the greatest
week. Number-wise, it was the best week of my mission, seeing that we got one
of those make-believe awards called Super Standard for the first time of my
whole mission (When I told Elder Hansen that I hadn't ever gotten it, he said,
"Oh, you will this week."). You just have to have good balance with
all your numbers, so we set the goal and actually achieved it! Yay!
Well, for working, we
decided to try a new tracting area, since things had been going slow in our
other places. We tried something fun- "accidentally" tract into the
ward mission leader so that he thinks that we are hard workers. We did that, and
started tracting his whole neighborhood, and it has worked out really well.
They directed us to one of their neighbors who let us come back (let's not talk
about the fact that they have yet to actually answer their door since then) and
we found a couple interested people around there!
Also, we have tried
setting up and decorating a table in the main square area and talking to people
there. It actually worked pretty well! I met a couple cute girls who gave us
their email addresses (I guess I'm not good enough to get phone numbers, darn).
There's a boost of self-esteem!
We are meeting with a
super awesome lady who started meeting last Sunday and really wants to get
baptized and change her life! If all goes well- Aug. 30th!
During the week, we
got to go up to Budapest for interviews. On the way, we got stuck in the front
of a huge traffic jam- a watermelon truck tipped over and there were smashed
melons EVERYWHERE! And we had to wait there till they cleaned up the highway or
something. Then I spotted an old friend in one of the semitrucks... the scary
toilet paper man from a couple weeks ago!
Funny story- In sunday
school, there was a lesson about work and effort or something. The teacher
talked about a man who married her friend, but doesn't work, or even look for
work, he just sits at home and relies on others to help them get by, and she
doesn't appreciate the way he treats her friend. "I try to be nice to him,
but it's very hard..."
Also, there is a man
who has started coming up to the branch house to church to reveal himself as
Jesus Christ. He has done this a few times now. Well, I found out that this
Jesus guy is the very same lazy husband. Yup, the teacher doesn't like him
coming up here, haha.
Uhhh.... yup, I had a
good week. I got a bunch of letters from Mom and Grandma Y and Mikes wedding
announcement. k I gotta go bye love oyuƱ4 mithc
