Well this week was another good week! It seems like we have been having alot of those lately, and I am definitely not complaining! 

Tracting this week has been a blast! I cannot even count the number of doors that have opened to reveal men above the age of 65 wearing nothing but man thongs or speedos. I mean, I guess you have to keep life exciting one way or the other! We also met this really neat lady from russia who has been living in Hungary for the past 20 years! We also happened to speak Hungarian on the same level and she has been learning it 20x as long as me, so it was somewhat of a proud moment! Fun fact, she is actually a Jew! She wasn't interested in the gospel, but she was so sweet though, her name was Lilla Néni, and she told us to come back sometime so we can eat some fruit with her, I thought it was adorable!

Last Tuesday we went back to visit our investigator Monika, the one that we looked up last week, and we had a lesson with her. Her boyfriend was actually home from work too, and he was really interested in learning about what we had to teach! He doesn't believe in God, so we started talking about what he does believe and ended talking about his family being able to live together forever according to God's plan, and ended up teaching the whole plan of Salvation! It went really well, and he asked us that when we schedule to come back to see Monika if we can make sure he will be home also! So we went ahead and scheduled for this next week, and are hoping to be able to get a member there with us! 

After that lesson, we met with our investigator Zsuzsa and her son Attila, who is an inactive member. They kept their commitment! We were so proud of them! They both said that they prayed everyday before going to bed and when they woke up, and they both admitted that they could see the difference, so that was really neat! Attila didn't remember much about the restoration, so we talked about that and committed them both to read from the Book of Mormon daily! We are hoping that next week we can possibly get them both to come to church! 

Picture that Mecseri Janka sent me, she is a doll :)

Later that evening we met with another new investigator named Piroska! She is a really sweet lady, maybe in her late 50s, and we just happened to come across her record in the area book. The elders had found her husband 10 years ago and started teaching him, and she started to listen in on the lessons every once in a while. Her husband died a few years after that and the missionaries never really went back much after that. So we called her up two weeks ago and scheduled to meet with her, but then I was sick and so we ended up rescheduling for this past week. She also has an 18 year old daughter, Edina, who lives with her and is kind of shy. Edina had gone into her room and closed the door, because she didn't want to learn about our church, but we asked if we could just introduce ourselves and didn't have to teach her or anything. So Edina came out of her room, and we found out that she is an artist and attends a school up in Zirc just for art! We asked if we could see some of her work, and she brought it out and showed it to us! As we showed interest in some of her interests she began to warm up to us, and actually ended up staying for the lesson. She didn't actively participate, but just the fact that she was willing to stay and listen says a lot i think! I am excited to meet with them again and there is a young girl in the branch that we are hoping we can take to help befriend Edina! 

Wednesday was a little bit of a tough day. We planned on meeting with Mária and János, our two new investigators from last week, and even got a member to come who seemed like she would be just perfect for them, only to get dogged. It was a bummer. We csengőd them, and János answered, he said that Mária wasn't home and that he needed to go somewhere. He gave us his phone number though, so we aren't giving up hope on them quite yet! Hopefully we will be able to successfully meet with them in the week to come! 

Thursday after English class we had a lesson with our investigator Ricsi. He explained to us a little bit about his religion, and told us that he doesn't really want to change, but that he is really curious about our church and wants us to teach him all about it. So at least that is a step in the right direction! I asked him if he would at least be willing to act upon the assignments we give him, and he said yes, so I think with time it might be able to evolve into something more!

Sometimes you order pizza through the window, dont worry, its normal!

We got a phone call Friday morning from our investigator Marcsi. She is kind of struggling right now. She is supposed to be praying about her baptismal date, but Satan has just been working really hard on her, and she is having a difficult time with it. She told us on the phone that she doesnt believe that we, our church, baptism, or even God can help her in this part of her life. Honestly, it is just really sad, I feel so bad for the poor girl! I think she must just be going through some hard times right now, but we are praying that we will be able to meet with her and try to just help her feel God's love for her, and help her realize that God can ALWAYS help her! If y'all would keep her in your prayers that would really mean alot to us!

We also got a hold of an investigator the sisters had met with back in January and they met three times and she seemed to be progressing and then the record just stops there, but she is the most enthusiastic person I have ever met and just talking to her on the phone made me so happy to be able to meet with her this next week! I think that that is going to be a fantastic lesson! Also according to the last time they met, she had a lot of questions about baptism in our church that they didn't get the chance to answer, so I hope that we will be guided by the spirit to be able to help her find the answers to those question, because she seems like such a sweet lady! I am really looking forward to meeting her, I think she has a lot of potential!

 

Things with Sister Evans seem to be going really well! She is such a great missionary! She came into the field with a strong determination and will to work hard, and I sure am lucky to have her! I have no doubt that by the end of our time here in Veszprém the work is going to be blooming, because I know that there are just so many people here waiting for the gospel, and as we continue forward in obedience and diligence the Lord is going to direct us to them!
