I hope you all had a wonderful week! Things are good here. The weather is pretty weird. It is pretty cold in the morning but by the afternoon it is really warm again.
I don't have a ton to report this week to be perfectly honest. We did have a program with Ilona this morning that was great! We talked to her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ (the five "steps"...faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end). She told us how much she loves meeting with us. We felt the spirit so strong in that program. Oh I just love her so much she is so stinking cute!
I have always known that it is important to go to church. But this week I felt like I relearned how important it is. In this branch, it is technically 2 hour long church. But occasionally, there is a third hour of Sunday school. We were struggling with some of our weekly numbers and I am sad to say I hoped that there wouldn't be the third hour yesterday (because it usually started late and got out really late) so we could go out and work more. However, there was the third hour! (of course ;)). In the class though, although I didn't understand every word, I was able to follow along with the whole lesson and I really learned a lot. And, we got out at the scheduled time we planned. And then we went to see a less active member and were able to meet with her and were able to work for a few hours and get the hours that we need. Basically, I could see the blessings that we received from going to all of our meetings! And it was a really great lesson!
We had a baptism this week! This 8 year old boy named Nímrod got baptized! It was so special. His dad baptized him and when he came out of the water he just gasped and smiled and was so excited. It was SO cute!! Us missionaries did a special musical number. We sang "I Feel My Saviors Love"...accapella. It wasnt the best but I think it brought the Spirit :) It was fun we combined English and Hungarian and I think Nímrod loved it so thats all that counts! :)
Hungarian is coming along! I have also gained a testimony of legit studies every morning :) The mornings where I do a rendes language study, I am able to understand and speak a lot more that day. The days where I don't put in as much effort as I should, I struggle a little more. I love this language though! I do get a little bummed when I try and speak Spanish and only Hungarian comes out. But I know that this is the language that the Lord needs me to speak right now! When I get home with a little effort I think I can get my Spanish back too! :) Hungarian is hard, but its so much fun. It is so exciting when you are able to understand more and more and speak more and more. All thanks to the Lord though. I know that without his help there is no way I would be speaking this much of the language after just 7 months!
Which reminds me, yesterday I hit 7 months! Oh my gosh I cannot believe how fast time goes!! I know I say that pretty much every week but its so true.
Things are great! I love being a missionary. I love being able to share this message with the people here. I love seeing how it blesses their lives. I love being able to watch them develop their own testimonies. It's all true! :)
I hope you all have a wonderful week! Thank you for all of your prayers and support. It is sincerely appreciated.
Sok szeretettel,
