Donna is a
member here in Kecskemét, but here's the twist to the story... Donna is actually from
St. George, Utah! CRAZY, RIGHT?! Her son served here in Hungary like 20
years ago, ended up coming back and marrying a Hungarian, and Donna's
husband had passed away so she decided to come here with son! She has
some back problems, so she is confined to her home, so we get to go
visit her every Monday! She was the first person I met here in Kecskemét
and I absolutely love her! She is super sassy, has a lot of random
information jammed in her brain, and is convinced that the whole
American government is just full of insider conspiracies, so needless to
say our teachings with her are about as interesting as they come! We
are also teaching one of her friends, Tamás, right now, so we are over
at her house quite a bit! She is great though, I love it!

After
3 months of sleeping on a couch in Szeged wrapped inside 2 fitted
sheets because we had no blankets, I finally got to Kecskemét to find a
nice queen sized bed! Turns out it was too good to be true though, it
was just a box spring, not an actual mattress, and after the first night
of sleeping on it, we sat down and the whole bed frame shattered, so we
have now made a bed for me in the corner of the front room on the
ground with the box spring mattress! Oh the adventures of serving in
Hungary!

Through out the week we had about 15
programs, a big step up from the usual 3- 5 we got in Szeged! It was
really neat to be able to participate in all the teachings and just be
able to bear my testimony of the things we taught! We also got fed. Like
alot...I think the whole week we only cooked like 3 times! On Sunday I
had the chance to get up and introduce myself in church and bear my
testimony. It is always difficult trying to get across what i want to
say in a foreign language, but it was a neat experience!

| Pig Jello |
Last
night on our way home for Choir Practice we got a call from a néni in
the word saying that she had some food for us called Kocsonya. We didn't
know what it was, but she told us that she saw on TV that everybody in
Utah loves it so she had made it for us! Luckily she allowed us to take
it home to try it, cause when we showed up and saw it we were absolutely
delighted to see that it was Pig Jello, which literally consists of pig
bones, some meat, and the fat chilled into a jello, with paprika
sprinkled on the top!
Something that has been on my
mind lately though is just how amazing the Atonement is! It is something
that no matter how long we live or how much we study it, we will never
be able to fully comprehend all that it truly encompasses. But what we
can comprehend is that Jesus suffered for us! Each one of us
individually! It doesn't matter what it may be that is going on in our
lives right now, whether it be good times or times of trail, the
Atonement is applicable to our circumstances and it can help! We can
receive comfort and peace in our lives through it! I have a testimony of
that, and I am oh so grateful for it in my personal life! I would just
challenge all of you, no matter what state of life you may be in,
to turn to him and let him be the light in your life!
to turn to him and let him be the light in your life!
I love you all, and hope you have a great week!
Sok Szeretettel,
