Sziasztok!
We had some great times this week,
On Monday we visited West end, a giant mall in Budapest. It was a lot of fun, but we saw new cell phones and whatnot, which was really weird. But after that we had a lesson with Károly, who is really cool. He doesn't really have any religious background and he told us multiple times during the lesson that it was weird, but he's willing to keep meeting with us and learn, which will be great. After that lesson we visited a less active named Erika. She's pretty great, she lost contact with the church 10 years ago, and she reached out to us. She's forgotten a lot, but she really wants to relearn. We taught her the Restoration, which was fun.
Tuesday we had our weekly phone call with President Szabadkai, which was fun. It was actually the second phone call of the transfer because we had interviews, trainings, and the Szabadkaiék were out of town one week. It was a long phone call, but it went well. After that, we got dogged, and Elder Leavitt and I did some comp. study. We've started doing some self-reliance courses every Tuesday, this week's topic was Using time Wisely. It was a lot of fun, and it's pretty similar to PMG chapter 8. Mostly, it helps us plan out our days better, so that we get the most important things done first. It's been fun so far.
After that we started an exchange with the office elders, and Elder Ballard and I tracted in the rain for a few hours. It was a lot of fun actually, and Elder Ballard is really cool. We're in the same group and it was fun to work with him.
Wednesday, we were still together, and we spent some time using a whiteboard to find in Széll Kálmán tér. We talked about family history, which was a lot of fun. Lots of people ignored us, some people talked to us. We got some phone numbers, and it went pretty well. It's really funny because sometimes people don't even look at us, but other times they are really willing to chat with us. A few people even came to talk with us.
After that we met up with Elder Leavitt and Elder Bloomer, and Elder Leavitt and I came back home to Pest. Then we had a lesson reschedule and another person dogged us, so we spent most of our time that day finding.
Thursday we had district meeting, and we got to use technology to email some PI's that we haven't been able to get in contact with. It's kinda weird to use a computer other than for emailing on P-days, but it went well, some people wrote us back, hopefully we can meet with them soon.
Later we were dogged, and then we had a crazy lesson with Ági. The crazy thing was the number of members that came with us. One member here really wanted to visit Ági, this member is Margit, but we needed to bring a man, so we were bringing another member named Ágoston. When we met up with Ágoston he had a friend with him, (his friend is italian, and doesn't speak hungarian). So all 5 of us visited Ági, and Ágoston translated for his Italian friend. It was a lot of fun and the lesson went really well.
In the evening we had Angolóra (English class) and Játék est (game night), both of which went well.
Friday we had weekly planning, had a lesson cancel on us, and we spent some time tracting. Then we met up with the Assistants and Elder Hughes and I came back to Pest. We had a good time together, we met with some recent converts, Attila and Dora, and had another lesson cancel on us. Attila and Dora are really nice though. We had a misunderstanding somewhere and Elder Hughes and I were 80 minutes late for the lesson. Fortunately, they are really nice and we had a great lesson with them.
In the evening elder Hughes made Pumpkin bread for us to give to Attila and Dora the next day.
Saturday Elder Hughes and I went white boarding in a tunnel near Őrs vezér tere which was fun. We also had some time to tract, and later we met up with Elder Gentry and Elder Leavitt. Then someone dogged elder Leavitt and me, and we came back home and spent some time finding.
Sunday was a lot of fun. Ági was confirmed, so she is now officially a member of the Church, which is really exciting. She's doing great and she'll just keep getting better. Later in the day elder Leavitt and I met with Katalin, who was really nice. Her life has been really hard lately, hopefully we were able to help her out. Elder Leavitt gave her a blessing, which will definitely help her. After that we had numbers in the evening.
We had a great week, even though we had a ridiculous number of lessons cancel or dog, but everything worked out and we had a good time. Also, Elder Leavitt and I streeted some people that said that they marked their religion as Jedi on the census. Unfortunately, they were not actually Jedi, which would have been really cool, but it was pretty funny.
Szeretettel,
Terry elder
