Another
amazing week. Can I tell you about it?
The beginning of the
week was interesting, because Elder Thomas was to leave. So on Wednesday,
we got up to make the big switch, and I got Elder Hansen. Transfers are
interesting, because most of the people going to new cities will meet in the
same place, and so I got to see a lot of my old companions! The ones who were
in Buda, my last area, were telling me about the investigators they still meet
with. A lot of people who I started meeting with who were either really busy or
just really stubborn have become suuuper legit! A few are even going to be
baptized in a few weeks!
After this, we went
homeward to Győr!
We had a really good
start to the transfer, and got to meet with a few new people right off the
bat.
We also spent a lot of
time tracting, and actually found some cool people to talk to who actually want
to meet again!
We were able to get a
few really cool investigators, thanks to the fact that the sisters got kicked
out of our city.
1. One cool couple
that we found had a cool story. They were planning on meeting some relatives
from America. The American couple had had done some family tree research and
wanted to visit some relatives in Hungary. The only problem was that they
couldn't communicate much more than out of a dictionary, and so they stopped
the sisters on the street a few weeks ago and asked if they would help
translate. And since they would be gone by then, they had us call them...
So we went to visit on
Wednesday and on Sunday. It turns out that they are really interested in the
Church, and we had 2 really good meetings with them! It was especially nice,
because the relatives never ended up coming, so we just talked about the Church
instead. Then the guy figured that God must have wanted it that way, and now we
will be coming back this week, too!
2. Yesterday, we were
just standing in the foyer, greeting people, and a member came in who I didn't
recognize. She introduced me to her friend, though, and told us that she wanted
to meet with us. My companion sat by them during Sacrament meeting, and at the
end, she said that she wants to be baptized, as soon as possible.
It was cool,
because we found out that the member is less active, and the sisters were
teaching her before they left... which is cool because we got the referral,
too!
Miracles like
this, where someone brings in a friend who is very prepared, don't happen every
day! But I guess they happen!
Another cool event
that we experience was during tracting. We wanted to start a new tracting area,
but neither of us knows the city very well, so we just got in the car and
prayed to find a good place, where we can find someone to teach. Eventually we
made it to a certain area, and the first door we tract was a really cool
family... who told us to come back in September (which means never). Oh well.
Then we start ringing the apartment telephones on the next building, and my
companion starts to say something, then we hear, "Waiiit, are you
the Elders? Come up right now!!"
Walking up the stairs
was so exciting! My companion said something like, "I don't know about
you, but I think my testimony is being strenthened right now!"
Then we get to the
top, and I recognize who it is. We see a man who is wearing only a towel, and
is just an investigator who the other elders here have been trying to avoid. So
we almost got an answer to our prayers!
But then, after a
little while, we gave up on that area, and just retracted our old area. There
was a cool family with a Spanish dad who told us to come back. We actually were
let in by the father-in-law and have been back a few times since. He's super
cool! And the best part is that he said that the family thinks we're a cult,
wants nothing to do with us, and "goes for a walk" every time we come
by. I guess we just had good timing for our return appointment, haha.
I'm really grateful
for this week, because we've had several miracles like this throughout the
week. My companion is a really good missionary, so I will just blame it on
him.
Hope everyone is well.
Have a great week!
Love,
