We've had some fun times since last P-day, and it's hard to believe this transfer has come to an end so fast.
Last Tuesday we had interviews with President Szabadkai, which was a lot of fun. I always look forward to interviews because talking with President is always a lot of fun. After that we spent some time finding and cleaning the apartment.
Wednesday we met with a man named Zsolt. He's friends with one of the members here in Pest and he came to church last Sunday. We meet with him and taught the restoration. It went well, Zsolt is really nice. After that we spent some time finding and met with Andrea. She's been having a rough time recently, so we spent most of the lesson trying to encourage her. After that we had a good time finding.
Thursday we had the last district meeting this transfer. It was a good time, and afterwards we went and used the white board to find. It went pretty well, but the weather has been getting colder, so standing outside with a white board isn't as fun as it used to be. After that we had a lesson fall through we had English class and game night.
Friday we had weekly planning and we started the last exchange of the transfer. I was with elder Jones, which was a lot of fun. We haven't really seen each other since we were in Kecskemét at the same time, which was almost a year ago. It was fun to chat with him and work with him again. We've both improved and changed a lot in the last year. We had a couple lessons, and they all happened to be the plan of salvation. We met with some investigators and taught them, and afterward we visited Ági, the recent convert here. It was a great time, and we got a lot of practice in.
Saturday we visited one of the American families here. We were going to do some home teaching, but our member partner didn't show up. :( But the family was really nice, they gave us some good mexican food. After that we met up with Elder Leavitt and Elder Hess and Elder Leavitt and I visited Erzsébet. She's been having a rough time recently, her husband died not too long ago, and we spent a bit of time talking about the Plan of Salvation and how Christ can help her.
Sunday there was a change in the Bishopric which was exciting. After church we visited a member with the Ward Mission leader because the member asked for a blessing. We helped Krisztián (our ward mission leader) give the blessing. After that we met with Krisztina and her family. It was a sad lesson, they've been having a really hard time recently financially, but the gospel has been helping them out a bit.
Yesterday we met with Zsolt again and taught the Plan of Salvation. It went well, Zsolt asks good questions and really pays attention. After that we spent most of the day tracting because it was really cold and we didn't want to be on the streets.
This morning President Szabadkai called and gave us our transfer calls. I will be staying in Pest until the start of January, my new companion is elder Murphy. I've met him a couple times, he's a really nice person. Elder Leavitt is going to be a branch president in Eger, which is really exciting for him too.
This week our theme for self-reliance was Accepting responsibility. It's a really good concept, and the book had some examples of people that decided to accept responsibility and make their lives better. It was a really good topic and I think it's really important. If we don't take responsibility for what we do, we don't really have much of a reason to do good. So the take-away from this is to take responsibility for your life and do good. We are all responsible for what we do, because God gave us agency.
Anyways, we had a good week, and I'm looking forward to an exciting transfer in Pest with Elder Murphy.
Szeretettel,
Terry elder
