Kaylee in Budapest: Terézia és a Cukorbetegsége

Turós Pita yumm!

Another week in Kecskemét come and gone, and I just continue to fall more in love with this place every-week! We had a lot of teaching appointments as is the usual here in Kecskemét, we met with both of our Tamás' a few less active néni's, and some new investigators that we found tracting last week.

We had been cséngőing people for about an hour and were almost done, when we cséngőd a man named József! He didn't really say much, just buzzed us into the building so we thought that it must have been an accident. We decided we would just go up anyways and when we climbed the 5 flights of stairs we found József there waiting for us and he let us into his apartment. He's an older man, probably in his 60s and come to find out it was actually his mom, terézia's apartment, he just takes care of her during the days cause she is really old and sick. We ended up telling him about our church, giving him a Book of Mormon, and setting up a return appointment! Before we left, i turned around to say goodbye to Terézia and she had this pen looking thing in her hand and when she pulled of the cap it was actually a needle, and she started to twist it and counted to three. Me and sister Giullian made eye contact and both of us were a little bit scared, wondering how there she was in the head. Just then Terézia set the needle down and so we just left him to take care of his mom.

This week when we went back to meet with József, sister Guillian and I both said that if Terézia did it again we were going to bust up laughing! So we got to József's house and started teaching him and half way through the teaching appointment Terézia wakes up and grabs her pen! Giull and I just looked at each other and couldn't believe it! This time she pulled of the cap and twisted the needle counting clear up to 10! and then she jabbed it into her leg with her shaking hands! József didn't react at all, so we figured it must be fine! Terézia was struggling to get the cap back on because her hands were shaking so bad, so Jeppson asked her if she could help. As Jepp put the cap on, the needle was curved and broke through the cap and went straight into Jepp's finger and she started bleeding! Terézia normally isn't too alert and doesn't talk too much, but when Jepp stabbed herself Terézia just goes ˇ"Okay" and then laid down and went to bed! It was hilarious! Luckily she doesn't have AIDS or Hepatitis though so Jepp is going to be fine!

Yes, Even after sharing will have enough for left overs!!!

Pizza...Miért nem?

A néni at church gave us some postcards, maps, and some sort of medication...Thank you!

Ice Age anybody?

Terézia aside, our program with József actually was amazing! When we got in there we asked him if he had read the chapter from the Book of Mormon that we had assigned him last time. His response was "I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet, called of God." Talk about golden! He not only read the chapter we gave him, but also looked up in the index any word that he didn't fully understand! He doesn't really know much right now, but he has so much faith and loves hearing what we have to teach! Gosh he is just so great! He really wants to come to church too, but has to find someone who can take of his mom while he comes, so he wasn't able to make it this week. Before we left, we asked if he would say the closing prayer. He had never been super religious growing up, and he told us that he didn't know how to. We told him briefly what to do, and he offered us a prayer! It was one of the simplest, but most heart-felt prayers I have ever heard! It is crazy, I honestly can say that I just love him! It is weird how serving people has a way of allowing you to love strangers that you don't even know yet! I seriously am just so grateful for the opportunity to be here in Hungary serving the Lord and sharing his gospel with the people here in Kecskemét! Next week is transfers, so who knows if I will stay or go, but either way, I'm grateful for the time I have had here, the people I have met, and the things that I have learned from all of them! I think it is so important to remember to be thankful for the people in our lives! I truly believe that each person we meet has something unique to offer to the world and something special that we can learn from them! Try to look at people the way that our Father in Heaven sees them, and I know that we will be able to better appreciate people and love them, and just be happier ourselves in general!

I seriously love all of you and hope that everything is going well at home! Have a great week!

Sok Szeretettel
