Jan 24, 2017 ~ The LeBaron Show


This week was FANTASTIC!!! 

1) The Milk store had a sale on Chocolate milk so we stocked up!
2) I splurged and bought myself a Zara jacket! You cant serve in Europe and not get one!
3) The weather (up until today) was super nice so I got to be rebellious and go to the store without tights! The stares of all the Nénis always make it so thrilling!
 Not gonna lie, these past few weeks have been a lot of ups and downs, from the work, to emotions about going home, to the stress of being STL, and just mission life in general. But just like it always does, the sun finally broke through the clouds and things are looking better than ever! (Although literally speaking it is the exact opposite, the sun is nowhere to be seen and we are freezing our butts off, but we serve in the greatest place on earth, so we still love it!!)

We started off the week with Zone training on Tuesday. It was my very last one :( kind of sad, but it also means I'm one step closer to HOME!!! So that's a good thing :) We nicknamed the training the LeBaron Show, cause i basically was running the whole thing... The zone leaders made me pick the hymns i wanted to sing, i was asked to lead the music, I had to present a 20 minute training as the Sister Training Leader, I also had to run the Sisters meeting, and then on top of all of that I gave my dying testimony! It was weird cause dying testimonies is something you kind of think forward to your whole mission and i still cant believe that the time is actually here! But it
went well, and now i can just enjoy the last month
I have in this beautiful country stress free! 
This is Anna, she is another one of our investigators!


As far as the work goes, things really seem to be picking up here in Szombathely these days! We have 2 new investigators, Már and Marg and they are both so solid! M is about 27, he was the one that gave us his phone number over the kaputelefon 2 weeks ago. We were finally able to meet with him on Wednesday and it went super well! Our member present was super great at fellow-shipping him and making him feel welcomed! He is really curious about our beliefs and said that if he finds it to be true then he wouldn't be opposed to joining a new church! He also asked if he could come to church whenever he would like to! He was out of town this week so he couldn't,
but hopefully next week! We are meeting with him
tomorrow again and I am so excited for the lesson!

Margit we had also found that same night as Márton, she is about 50, has two sons and is just a super sweet lady. We introduced the Book of Mormon and read Moroni's promise with her, and she said that it honestly kind of sounded weird, but she was willing to read and pray about it! we also invited her to a Relief society activity that we were holding the next day and she said she didnt think that she would come, but when we showed up on our bikes, there she was climbing out of her car! It was such a miracle! For the activity we were learning new hymns that they dont typically sing and Xenia was awesome and went in and explained the story that went with each hymn adn read scriptures that correlated with it, adn Margit loved it! It was also an amazing opportunity for her because there were so many members that were there to fellowship her, adn they defintiely were able to start some good friendships! We are hoping that we can get one of them to come to our lesson with her this thrusday!
A member from Buda that I ran into after zone training! She was so happy to see me, it was adorable! I asked her if i could take a picture with her and she responded in English "Oh yes, please do!!" It was so cute!

Unfortunately most of our less active lessons canceled on us this week, but that's alright, we will get them this week! 

I love y'all so much, and hope that you have a great week! Thanks for all your support and love!


Sok Szeretettel, 
LeBaron Nővér
