Sziasztok!!

Sziasztok!!

Well another week has come and gone!

Best news of the week. After English class this week we were just chatting with some people and Sister Hulbert comes in and says that Enikő needs to talk to us. So we go into the other room and Enikő says, "Well I talked to my mom. And she said I could get baptized!" AH We were so excited!!!! A little background on Enikő...shes this super cute 17 year old girl who has been meeting with the missionaries for a little bit. When we got to Békéscsaba the Elders gave her over to us to continue teaching. Her Mom has been super hesitant about her meeting with the missionaries. Enikő said a few months ago she wasn't sure this was what she wanted but now she knew it was. When we had a program with her last week, she said she would get baptized the next weekend if her mom would let her. A few weeks ago on Fast Sunday we all fasted for her and we have all been praying for her. We are so excited!! It will probably happen in July so more details to come :)

We have two new investigators...both from English Class. Ádám is one and Kriszta is the other. They are both super cool and its nice we do the programs in English so i get to say more than just the few things I can say in Hungarian. With Kriszta, we had another program at the same time so we went on splits and Sister Hulbert and I taught her. It was really fun - we taught her about the restoration. I even told her the First Vision IN HUNGARIAN!! That was really cool :) And Ádám is this super cool kid that we taught about prayer. Those were such fun programs. And we had Sister Hulbert with us for both of them and she always makes things fun!

Another cool tracting story. We were walking along the street and once again took lots of weird turns and ended up in this random little area. We went over to one building and rang every chéngu and there was not one person home. So we walked out and were trying to decide where to go. I said we should go across the street to this little squire with apartments all around. Funny thing was, Sister Broadhead said that just a few minutes earlier, she had been thinking that we needed to cross the street. So we went accross and rang some chéngus but no one was interested or home. As we were walking out we noticed this one hidden apartment. It was next to a Doctors Office so we had completely bypassed it before. We decided to ring it and this guy came to the door. We started doing our intro and then he started talking to us in English. He said he was on his way out so we asked if we could go back another time and he said we could go back tomorrow. As we were walking over the next day we wondered if he would actually be there. And he was! We went in and talked with him and told him about prayer and gave him a Book of Mormon and it was the coolest program!! He was such a cool guy and so open minded.

On Saturday night we got to go see the Jungle Book musical in a little theater house. I did not understand most of it but it was fun! And the music was way cool. There was one scene with monkeys and their song was a rap about how monkeys are the coolest animals in the jungle haha! It was a nice little outing to go with the Hulberts and the Elders.

We are starting this new "Healthy Lifestyle Change" as a District! We are making it a competition - girls against boys. We have to have a certain amount of veggies and fruits everyday, do at least a half hour of exercise everday. And the hardest part....only two days a week we get a serving of dessert/sugar/the good stuff. That's going to be the hardest part. But hopefully it will all help us get a bit healthier! Broadhead Nővér and I go running every morning but the Elders joined us this morning. It was fun! But we ended up going around this long way and did a lot longer run than we were used to haha I'm going to miss sutti (dessert) a lot but we gotta beat the boys!! ;)

On Sunday I gave a talk in church!! That was interesting. It was pretty hard but Broadhead Nővér helped me with some translating. I probably sounded like a Kindergartener trying to speak but people said they understood what I said so that's good. I based my talk on Elder Bednar's talk from the last General Conference. I talked about Christ and his Atonement and how not only did He die for all of our sins, but He died for all of our pains, weaknesses, hardships, etc. When we are facing hard times or trials and we feel like know one knows how we feel and that we are completely alone, Christ knows exactly how we feel. I love the scripture Alma 7:11-13. It talks all about Christ's atonement and what He suffered for all of us so that He would know completely how to help us. I also love the scripture Alma 36:3. This talks about how all we need to do is put our trust in the Lord and He will help you with whatever you need. I am really grateful for this gospel and the way it has helped me in my life. I'm grateful for Christ and know that He is our Savior. He died for all of us. In times of trial, turn to Him. He knows us perfectly and knows how to help us. We never need to feel alone.

I hope you all have a great week! :)

Sok szeretettel!
