Mon 11/21, 8:48 AM~~ Bocsi, magyarul lesz... DE CSAK 100 NAP MARAD!!!!!

Hey folks! I don't have a lot of time, and Sister Withers, the secretaries, and I have decided that we will only be speaking Hungarian this week, so this email will be a short one, and in Hungarian... Feel free to just google translate it if you would like, I cant promise that it will say the same thing that a wrote, but Sok Sikert! Here are a few highlights in English and then you can at least just enjoy the pictures at the end! I love you all and have a great week!

1) we are down to less than 100 days, talk about crazy! We celebrated with the famous fruit soup at Kláras house! It was peach this time!

2) It snowed this week!

3) for pday we cooked with Sister Szabadkai, it was delicious! She gave us left overs and it lasted the whole week! We did not cook a single meal!

4) We now have an African investigator! he is the coolest person ever! We invited him to pray about Baptism in the first lesson! It was kind of scary, but super exciting! And he said that he would! Also it was English and i kinda of slaughtered that part of it, but we are meeting with him again, so I guess it wasn't too horrible!

 Ezen a héten a Withers Nővér meg én csak magyarul beszelünk, úgyhogy gondoltam hogy ez az email is magyarul legyen. Remélem érthető lesz!

Először, ezen a héten találtunk 3 új érdeklődőket! Egyikükkel, Tibornak hívják, találkoztunk amikor kopogtatunk Hétfő este. Emmanuellel is találkoztunk, a Bagozzi Nőverrel, mert Afrikai a srác és csak angolul beszél.  Nagyon jó volt a tanítás vele. Beszeltünk a Visszaállitásról és egy picit a keresztelésről. Emmanuel mondta, hogy imádkozni fog arról! Szeretett volna jönni istentiszteletre tegnap, de nem kélt fel időben. De Szerdán találkozunk vele, és szerintem nagyon jó lesz. Terveztük, hogy a visszaállítás filmet nézzük! És a harmadik érdeklődő, Dórinak hívják, volt egy ajánlás a Pétercsak Krisztitől. A Mormon Könyve Akció miatt, Kriszti adott neki egy példányt és Dori olvasott egy picit és mondta, hogy nagyon érdekes és akart találkozni velünk. Jobban magyaráztunk A Mormon Könyvét és hogyan kaphatunk egy választ arra, hogy igaz-e.

Megtaláltuk a Kovács Tibort! Végre! Nem annyira jó fizikailag, se lelkileg, de ő tudja, hogy Isten tud segíteni, és reméljük jobbá válni fog! szerintem ezen a héten meg fogjuk látogatni őt.

Pénteken és szombaton, Szolnokon voltunk egy napi csere miatt. A Brantley Nőverrel voltam. Nagyon jó fej és nagyon szorgalmasan dolgozott! Nem volt semmi tanítás, úgyhogy csak kerestünk az egész nap, de nagyon jó volt. Szerintem minden rendben van velük, és jól tudnak dolgozni egymással!

Ezen a héten tanulmányoztam a Krisztusba vetett hit, a kerületi "Krisztusi tulajdonságok Kihívás" miatt! Nagyon jó volt és igazából ez mar volt egy téma nekem meg a withers nővérnek ezen a cseren, hogy "NE KORLÁTOZZUK ISTENT!" Mert mi tudjuk, hogy isten csodákat tud tenni, és hogy ő szeretne segíteni nekünk az ő munkájában. A PMG Könyvben, ezt mondja a hitről " Ha hited van, akkor meg teszed mindazt, amit az Úr akar, hogy megtedd. saját magad és mások életében segítesz a jót elérni. Az Úr akarata szerint képes vagy csodákat tenni. a hited a szorgalomban és a munkában fog megnyilvánulni. a hit a hatalom egyik tantétele. Isten hatalom által működik, de hatalmát általában a hitre adott válaszként gyakorolja." tudom, a hitem miatt, hogy Isten szeret engem és tudok benne bízni. tudom, hogy vannak emberek itt Magyarországon és  különösen itt Budán, akik készen állnak az evangélium befogadására, és Isten vezetni fog minket hozzájuk csak ha hiszünk Benne, és gyakoroljuk azt a hitet. Tudom, hogy Isten egy csoda végező Isten és hogy csodákat fog tenni a hitünk szerint. Nagyon szeretem a Mormon 9. fejezetet 18-tol 22-ig. ezt mondja,
"18  És ki mondja azt, hogy Jézus Krisztus nem tett sok hatalmas csodát? És az apostolok keze által is sok hatalmas csoda történt.

  19  És ha akkor történtek csodák, akkor miért szűnt volna meg Isten a csodák Istene lenni, és lenne mégis olyan Lény, aki nem változik? És íme, azt mondom nektek, hogy ő nem változik; mert ha így tenne, akkor megszűnne Isten lenni; de ő nem szűnik meg Isten lenni, és ő igenis a csodák Istene.

  20  És ha megszűnik csodákat tenni az emberek gyermekei között, az azért van, mert hitetlenségbe süllyednek, és letérnek a helyes útról, és nem ismerik Istent, akiben bízniuk kellene.

  21  Íme, azt mondom nektek, hogy aki hisz Krisztusban, semmiben nem kételkedve, akkor az amely dolgot Krisztus nevében kér az Atyától, az megadatik neki; és ez az ígéret mindenkinek szól, egészen a föld széleiig.

  22  Mert íme, azt mondta Jézus Krisztus, Isten Fia, a tanítványainak, akik maradtak, igen, és minden tanítványának, a sokaság hallatára: Menjetek el az egész világba, és minden teremtménynek prédikáljátok az evangéliumot."

Erős bizonyságom van arról, hogy nem szűnik meg Isten a csodák Istene lenni. Tudom, hogy ha elég a hitünk, akkor fogunk látni sok csodát ebben a munkában!

Rémélem minden rendben van veletek! Köszönöm a támogatást!

Sok Szeretettel,

Mon 11/14, 5:21 AM~He Will Make You Whole

Szervusztok!

This week was really good full of splits, splits and more splits!!! Just kidding, we actually only had 2 exchanges this week, but still! On Tuesday we went to Békéscsaba and let's be real, I just love that little place! I was with Sister Giullian (my companion from Kecskemét), and she was an absolute sweetheart and scheduled some teachings so that I could see some of my favortie people! When we got there Tuesday night, they were having a Branch Music night, and guess who was there? László and Judit!

Wednesday morning we woke up and headed over to Erzsike Nénis! Seriously she is my favorite old woman alive (besides my own grandma)! Looking her up off of the branch list back in may was still one of the best things I have ever done! Just look how cute she is!

 Giull said "Now a funny one!"... So this apparently is what Hungarians consider funny! She just melts my heart!

For lunch that day we stopped at the Csaba Park to see the one and only ENIKŐ!!!!

For some reason, despite the fact that she used to be a model, she thinks that she has an ugly smile! I always try to tell her shes crazy! This is her describing with her hands what her teeth day, as Sister Withers was snapping photos!

  

But, finally I got her to smile with her teeth just once! I swear she is crazy, cause she is beautiful and her teeth look great!

And then she accidently did it again! Haha! One of the other sisters asked to get a picture with her too, but she said that she only smiles with her teeth for me! I just love her!

During lunch I was able to talk to her a little bit, and she is doing so well! She said that she still hasnt touched coffee since Sister Dorny and I gave her the commitment to quit over 4 months ago! She is seriously amazing, such a great example to me! Her and her boyfriend József are planning on getting engaged at the end of the year, and then as soon as they get married she is planning on getting baptized! She also told me that her and József have been saying prayers together every night now and that she has been telling him about the Book of Mormon and just talking with him about Christ whenever she gets the chance! She is an amazing missionary already, and shes not even a member yet! I will seriously always be so grateful for her and our friendship!

After lunch we went over to Illon's house! She was so excited when they told her that I would be coming that she had baked me some Rakott Krumpli (stacked potatoes) because she knew it was my favorite! She is such a sweetheart! We had a really great lesson with her and read the book "Értékes Vagy" (You are Special) and related it to our relationship with our Heavenly Father. She still has a hard time believing in God, or honestly even wanting to, but maybe one day she will come around!

And of course another silly one, cause Giull said so!

We also had the pleasure of having the szeged sisters come up to Buda for exchanges on Friday! I was able to go with Sister Mason, and she is such a doll, I just love her! Unfortunately we were not able to plan any teachings to go to with them, but we were able to really work on some finding techniques, infact we spent the night tracting up in the Buda hills overlooking all of Budapest! It was breathtaking! We also had a drunk man encounter, that consisted of him stopping me in the middle of the road to tell me "Please dont be mad! Please dont be mad! There is no problem! dont worry! I dont speak english, what is your name?" I told him and it took him about 6 tries to finally be able to say it. He then asked for Sister Masons name. We told him, and he tried to tell us that it was really close to "Méz" which means honey in hungarian. He spent about 3 minutes trying to use his hands to describe what honey was, despite that fact that we both already knew exactly what he was talking about. We told him that we are missionaries and that we didnt have time to talk, because we had to get back to work. He then continued to follow us door to door as we tracted for about 15 minutes before he finally walked away and left us to do our work! You gotta love thus drunk ones!

Unfortunately our work here in Buda was kind of sad this week and we werent able to meet with a lot of people. We have officially been dogged 9 times in the last 2 weeks, and were only able to meet with 2 people this week, One of which was Erika (our bap date) and the other was Emilia, the less active that we had to give over to the elders. But we are really glad that we were able to meet with Erika, because she is our main focus right now! We talked to her about the Priesthood more and just wanted to make sure everything was clear as far as authority goes. We also talked to her about Priesthood blessings. She said that Károly, her husband, has given their 2 daughters blessings when they have been sick and that she knows that they definitely helped! We encouraged her to ask Károly for a blessing this week to help her find the courage to go talk to her grandmother about her baptism and that she would feel calm and comforted, being reassured that baptism truly is the next step that she needs to take in her life!

On Saturday we had Mission Leadership Council, and we had the pirvilige of having a member of the 70, Elder Leimer, come and teach us! His focus was on finding people and then extending commitments. For any of you that know anything about Europe, you know that the people are not necessarily religious, and most of the ones that are, are only culturally religious, but do not actually practice! Elder Leimer told us to stop trying to compare our work to the work anywhere else in the world, because there is no point. For those of you that dont know the missionary life very well, we wake up at 6:30 every day, have breakfast, scripture study, and language study, and then are out of the house by 11AM. We are allowed one hour for lunch and one hour for dinner, but other than that, we spend the rest of the time trying to share the gospel, right up until 9PM when we retire to our apartments for the night. The average amount of lessons in Hungary per week is about 3-4 which means that most companionships have either 7-8 hours a day that is comprised of just finding. So you could say that it isnt easy. And as the winter weather comes on, it gets even a little bit tougher! Elder Leimer's focus was aimed at how we can be more motivated in the work so that we are using those 8 hours wisely! The thing that stuck out the most to me was him emphasis on being bold in our finding! As missionaries, we sometimes have a tendency to feel ourselves awkward as we are trying to approach random strangers, whether it be at their door, on the tram, or even on the street. Sometimes people think we are weird, heck, sometimes we even think ourselves are wierd, but Elder Leimer reminded us that we are not supposed to be weird! We are supposed to be SPECIAL, but not weird! If we are approaching all of our finding boldy, with that Christlike love and desire to help people to come unto Him, then they will not think we are weird. If we make our love evident through our actions, they will be able to see the intent behind it, and they will want what we have to offer! Finding is not about increasing our numbers to make us look like better missionaries, it is about finding the elect people of God that are ready to accept His gospel and come into the fold!

Here is Sister Withers and I practicing being BOLD!!!

We also had the opportunity to hear from Elder Leimer in a fireside later that night for investigators and members, that was broadcasted to the whole country! A few minutes before it started, Elder Leimer came up to me and asked me to say the prayer, I was so nervous, I did not want to say the prayer in front of all the members of Hungary, but how do you say "NO" to a member of the 70? Luckily, I didnt say anything too stupid haha!

During the fireside, Elder Leimer talked about how sometimes as members we believe in the gospel, but we believe that it doesn't apply to us, because we aren't good enough. He talked a lot of The Atonement of Jesus Christ and how the Atonement is sufficient for every single one of us! One quote6 commitment that he added at the end really caught my mind and I wanted to share it with all of you too! " Trust in the Savior Jesus Christ that He will make you whole & will make you GOOD ENOUGH!" He loves us, He lived for us, He suffered for us, and He died for us, so that He could make us whole, so that He could make us good enough! Trust Him and believe Him, because He is not only capable of making us whole, but there is nothing He would rather do than make us whole, and make us good enough! Never forget how much you mean to him! You all are loved, by Him, and be me too! I hope that you have a great week!

Mon 11/7, 5:12 AM~Vigyázz, Fel Fogsz Fázni!!!

HELLO all my American friends! This week was a really good week! First off, because I got to see my two favorite Janka's in the world! Aren't they just adorable?

To start off our weird little half week, on Thursday we had our very last district meeting with Elder and Sister Simkins! We are so sad to see them go, but they are leaving the office and headed to Eger where they will finish the rest of their mission! It is going to be kind of strange not having them here, because they have been in the office since I got to Hungary, but they are going to love Eger, and Im just so glad I got the chance to know them and serve with them for a few weeks! After district meeting we had a little goodbye party for them! And of course the APs had to take a picture with Elder Simkins!

Later that day, we were able to meet with Emilia, a less active member, and we had a really good lesson with her talking about faith. Imreh Attila, our ward mission leader, came with us, and was a big help and the spirit was very strong there! She is progressing really well, and really has a desire to become active in the church again, we just need to help her give up smoking. Unfortunately we found out that she is living in the secretaries area, so we will be having a passover lesson this week, but I think it will be really good for Emilia, cause Elder González is hungarian and all so he will be able to really help her in her pursuit to quit smoking! And then of course we took a few pictures that night while waiting for our tram.

Funny story of that night:

    Hungarians have this weird superstition (actually they have a million of them, but this one inparticular) in which sitting on cold bences in the winter or not wearing tights makes you somehow go sterile. Dont ask me why, it scientifically makes no sense, but its a thing here. Our ride home from the branch house consists of taking the Metro to Bátthany Tér and then we have to typically wait there for 5-8 minutes for our tram to come. So we typically go sit on the wall and gaze out at Parliament and talk about how lucky we are to be living in the most beautiful place in the world and that we get to see this amazing piece of architecture every night when we go home!...

...So as usual, we were just chilling on the wall, swinging our legs and marveling at the Budapest beauty, and an older man approaches me. He asked me if he could say something, so I told him sure. He then informed me that "This is very dangerous!" and told us we should get off the wall. I figured he was referring to us sitting on the wall and just didnt want one of us to accidentally fall off (dont worry mom, its only like a 6 foot drop down to the side walk). However, he continued to tell me that he is a medical physician and that if I continue to sit on that cold wall for 30 more seconds that all my eggs will freeze and I will never have children! The man was very kind but as he spoke he was starting to get very anxious, so even though there wasn't much logic, we hurried a climbed down just to avoid giving him a heart attack! Hungarian Stereotypes never fail to make me laugh though! So heres a picture of the shoes before we got kicked off the wall!

Friday morning we met with Dörömbözy Erika, or investigator who has a baptismal date right now. After everything that was discussed in MLC and Zone Trainings last week, we decided to do an in-depth discussion of the baptismal interview questions and see exactly where she is with things. We went through all the questions and she has a very strong testimony about everything! We also were able to take Vadas Erika, a recent convert, to that lesson with us, and she bore a very strong testimony to Erika and they became really good friends! It was literally perfect having the other Erika there, because they both have little babies, so the kids just played together while we had the lesson, and Erika was just so flattered that we would invite her! So it was a double win! The only thing that is presently a dilemma with Erika's baptismal date is her family. All of her family is very catholic, but she finally decided to tell her parents and they told her that they supported her, but told her not to tell her grandmother. Erika knows that she needs to, but she is just trying to find the right time and build up the courage to do it. Any prayers on her behalf would be very much appreciated!

We were supposed to meet with Kovács Tibor later that day, but he didnt show up. He also didnt come to Stake Conference, and he isnt answering any of his phones, so we are a little concerned about that, but hopefully we will be able to get in contact with him this week!

We also had the Veszprém sisters come here for exchanges on Friday. Sister Swenson and Sister evans both seem to be doing really well! I had the opportuntiy to go with Sister Swenson and she truly is an amazing missionary! On Saturday we had a lesson with an inactive member, Berényi Zsuzsa, and it went REALLY well! In the past it seems like missionaries have just gone over there to fill up their schedule  and get one more number, and so they had planned for us to teach Gospel of Jesus Christ next, but when we got there and introduced ourselves and got to know her and her background with the church, we knew that was not what needed to be taught. We were very bold with her, and asked her why she isnt coming to church. We continued to ask questions until it finally came down to her admitting that she believes our church is true, but doesnt believe in the Book of Mormon and never has. We had a really good discussion about the Book of Mormon, why it is important, how we should study it, what it means to ask in faith and how we can receive and recognize our personal answer from God that it is true, and then Sister Swenson and I were both able to bear powerful testimonies of how the Book of Mormon has changed our lives! The spirit was very strong in her home, and her countance seemed to change throughout the lesson. At the end we asked her if she wanted to know for herself if the Book of Mormon is true, and she said yes. And then we had her set a reading goal to read at least one chapter every single day! She was really excited and we committed her to pray before and after she reads to be able to invite the spirit when she reads! I really do think that she has a lot of potential, and that if we continue to teach her and her needs, rather than just lessons, then she will be able to feel the spirit and know that the Book of Mormon is true, and will have that desire to put her life in harmony with the Gospel and come back to church! i am really excited to see where things will go with that!

Saturday and Sunday we had Stake conference. On our way to stake conference Saturday night, we caught the metro over to pest and there was a huge group of missionaries there, and they all decided to walk to the stake center. Sister Swenson and I decided we wanted to beat everybody there, so we were going to take the bus, only problem is that the bus driver said he wasnt going that way. So we hurried and started running to catch up with the crowd! All of sudden, a taxi pulls over next to us and 3 people pile it out leaving it empty! So Sister Swenson and I thought "We are in Budapest right now, why not take a taxi just for fun?" So we hopped in and told the taxi driver where we were going. We were speaking hungarian, but unfortunately the good Óle American accent is still somewhat there, so the driver told us that we speak very well, but asked us whether we were hungarian or not. We told him not, and explained what we are doing here half way across the world! We shared a little message with him as he drove about eternal families, and then he told us that the 3 people we saw get out of the car were actually his wife and 2 kids. We talked alot about religion and unfortunately he wasnt really interested, but as we pulled up to the church and asked him how much we owed, he said that we didnt owe him anything, that he purposefully didnt start the clock. We told him that we insisted on at least giving him some change, but he told us "Isn't this just what you call a good deed? I know that I'm not a big believer, but I believe this is what Christ would do!" Most of the people we meet as missionaries may never accept the gospel, but it truly is the small little influences we make in peoples lives that make it all worth it! It was so neat that even though he didnt want to hear more, that just a simple taxi ride made him want to do go a good deed for 2 foreigners when he could have very much used that money for his own family!

Stake Conference was amazing as always! I really loved all of the talks and was able to learn so much from them! We had a member of the 70, Elder Adler come and speak to us. I loved the emphasis that he put on temples! The temple truly is the house of the Lord and there is no place on earth that we can be closer to him than in the temple, so we should be making the sacrifices and efforts necessary to be able to go to the house of the Lord whenever possible! I also love that he said, even if we are unable to attend because of financial or other circumstances, we should always have our recommends on us everyday as a reminder of the covenants we have made in the temple, and also so when we are tempted or even just put in a situation where we must choose between good or better, that we can think of our temple recommend and ask ourselves if we will still be worthy and comfortable to enter the house of the Lord if we do it. I also loved his talk during the Sudnay general session when he talked about true love being forgiveness! It is sometimes so easy to find the faults in others and so much harder to see our own. But the key is to try and see everyone as Christ sees them and then we will be able to see the good and forgive them more easily! At the end of his talk he said that if we refuse to forgive someone who has properly repented, we are denying the power of the Savior's Atonement. What a great perspective that is, to remind us to look for the good, forgive, and judge no more!

Another perk to Stake Conference is seeing all the people from all my different cities that I just love!

This is Ellinor and she is seriously the greatest thing ever! She is from germany speaks no hungarian (just english and german), but she got married in August to Bence from Kecskemét! And the best part is that I just found out they are living here in Buda now, so hopefully I will be able to see her more often!

OLIVÉRRRRRR!

AND OF COURSE THE MECSERIÉK!!!!!!

Bocs, that this one turned out kind of orange, but its whatevs, had to still send it because its got them all in it!

Other than all that, while tracting we got a few numbers from people this week, so we are really looking forward to being able to meet with them! And we are increasing our faith in finding, that we may not limit god's ability to use us as his instruments in this work! I hope you all have a great week, and never forget how much I love you!

Sok Szeretettel,

Nov 2, 2016~Are We Limiting God?

For Halloween we were able to go to Pest and do exchanges with Sister Cribbs and Sister Hughes! 

We went streeting by Hereo"s Square and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

 Also we found this beauty... 

Gotta love license plate finding!

As far as our work here in Buda, we unfortunately were not able to meet with our investigator Erika this past week, but we are scheduled for Friday, and she was at church so we did get to see her there! We got dogged a few times last week, but we also found a new investigator, Attila, and have a lot of potentials that we have found in the past 2 weeks, as well as some from last transfer that we are trying to set up with! So we are really looking forward to being able to meet with them! This week in District meeting we talked more about finding, and Sister withers and I have made it a goal to really testify in the first 30 seconds of talking to someone, rather than simply telling them we have a message to share, because most of the time 30 seconds is all the time we get. We have implemented it into our tracting and streeting approaches this last week, and while at first it was a little scary trying to figure out what to say, we are really excited! It  has been really neat thus far, and I feel like it is so much more effective than the alternative! I am really excited to start seeing the benefits of it!

On Saturday I ran into Gábor from Szeged! Turns out he is 

getting the 

Melkisédeki Priesthood!

 I couldn't be more proud of him!

On Sunday, my favorite Human Being ever surprised me at church! So glad that Kriszti got to come and visit!

 

Photos with this one are always a struggle!

And then of course, your typical after Church photo shoot @ Parliament

Sorry, if these scare you, they kind of scare me haha

And the weekly phone call with my baby Dorny included a Korean face mask 

party over the phone using masks her mother sent us from the Korean store! 

More Pictures @ Batthany because its my favorite place in the world!

 

And then a little bit of adventuring from the day we got lost 20 million times! But thats a story for another time!

Because sometimes you just "have nothing else to do"..

Yesterday we got an interesting assignment from President Szabadkai. There is a girl named Bécsi Heni who left on her mission this morning to the Alpine German mission, and so yesterday President set her apart, and then asked us to go do some missionary work with her! She is adorable and we had a lot of fun!

It was "Day of the Dead" so we got to go to the cemetery and look at all the cool
candles and flowers! 

And we will close with my favorite picture of all... we had someone do drawings all up our street, and this one was just too priceless! it reads "THIS IS A SLOTH"!

Overall, things are just great here! I don't think I could be happier, and It is just so neat being able to serve the people of Hungary, I love it being a missionary here more than anything! I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Oct. 24, 2016 Post~My House in BUDApest

Well folks, it is official, I am getting old! This week marked the beginning of my 7th transfer in this Csoda Ország of Hungary! Which means that there is only one more! Thank heavens I get to spend it with the coolest companion ever! Also yes, we are both red heads, so there is alot of fire here in Buda these days! Speaking of which, MEET SISTER WITHERS!!!

 Isn't she a beauty! Don't worry, she gave consent to me sending these! We love each other already! We made a transfer goal to film a video every single week, this weeks is titled "Banana Breaking 101". I will try to attach it at the end and hope you all enjoy! (It is in two parts, sorry about that)

  This week was just wonderful! It was sad to leave Veszprém as it always is when transfers happen, but i feel that i can leave saying that I did my best and gave it all I had while I was there! Our last night in Veszprém consisted of...

1) Saying goodbye to Gizi Néni ft. Tomika and the Pelican poncho.

2) Játék Est with the usual's! Oh how I just love these two! Definitely what I will miss most about Veszprém!  Olivér is just the cutest little thing ever, such a sweet kid, and has literally become like a little brother to me these past 9 weeks! Our relationship was just golden!
here is a picture that depicts it really well!

3) McDONALDS!!!! Because that is the classiest restaurant here in Hungary! Also they have a play-place, and you cant pass those up!

(Our little Crew)

"The Cliff"

It was hard to leave another great companion, but Sister Evans is amazing, and I know that her and Sister Swenson are going to be able to work really well together and be able to really help the people there in Veszprém

Transfer day came and went! Got to say hello to a few people I haven't seen in a long while

 (specifically my baby Dorny),

I got to say goodbye to a few that headed home (Elder Bunker),

And everybody else in between

Transfers are always a little bittersweet, but overall just mostly sweet!

Our first night together as STL's!                                                                                                                                           
And I am just so excited to be here in Buda! Just the past 5 days here have been so amazing already! I love being able to serve with Sister Withers, she is such a great example to me and makes me want to be a better person and missionary! I am so optimistic about this transfer and the things we are going to be able to accomplish together!

White Chocolate Rasberry Turo Rudis! These suckers are life-changers guys! 

Sister Withers officially likes Turo Rudi now!

When your comp has been in Hungary for a year, and still never knew about the magic light up bottom! After all, it is the little things in missionary work that bring true joy! Glad that I can still teach her some new things!

And other weird things you find in Buda....

Since being here in Buda, we have been able to meet with one less active member, Emilia, who ended up coming to church and staying for the whole thing! We had a good teaching on the Law of Chastity, and were able to watch one of the churches inspirational videos about it and have a good discussion about it afterwards! It went really well!

 We also met with Tibor, a recent convert, and talked about Tithing! He seems to understand it really well, and informed us that he has already been paying it since he was baptized, so we are super proud of him!

We met with a new potential investigator this week, her name is Lilla! She is a younger girl, in here 20s and she used to frequently attend angol óra and csaladi est, and some of the other activities that were hosted at the church a few years ago, so she already had a basis of our beleifs. We talked alot about the Book of Mormon and the importance of prayer and how it can help us! She said that she already has a strong belief of prayer! Unfortunately she is really busy next week and we were not able to reschedule with her yet, but she said that she will come to the Meet the Mormons showing on Saturday and that we can plan a teaching appointment for the next week there! 

Right now we have a baptism scheduled for this upcoming transfer for our investigator Erika, and we have a lot of potential investigators that we are working with! We are in the process of scheduling with them this week, as well as looking for more! While tracting we have had a few people give us contact info with a desire for us to come back, so hopefully in the coming weeks we will be able to meet with them as well! 

Tomorrow we will be starting our splits, with the Szolnok sisters, so I am excited for that! 

I love you all and hope that you have an amazing week!

Sok Szeretettel,
