I hope you all had a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving. We had a lot go on this week. Transfers were on Wednesday so we got up and went to Buda. It's always an adventure trying to haul suitcases from one train to the metro to the other train station but we made it! :) It was fun to see some of my MTC friends and friends from other places that I have served with. I even got to see two members from Békéscsaba that came to see all the missionaries.
My new companion is Sister Cox. She is great! She is from Utah, she is one of 11 kids and we get along really well. We have been working hard the past few days since we got together and I think we will have a great transfer together. We have been doing a lot of tracting the past few days and we have come across some really cool people. A few days ago, we were going for a few hours on this one street with no luck. Then we got to the very last house and we got let in by a really cute young couple! We started asking them some of the survey questions and got to talking to them a little. They said they would be interested in learning more so we gave them a Book of Mormon and got their phone number! Yesterday we went tracting as well. We got a few houses in and this lady let us in because "it was too cold!" So we went in and started talking to her a little bit and then her cute, old mom came in too. We told them a little about what we believe and gave them a Book of Mormon. They were happy to welcome us back next week! Those are just a few cool experiences that happened to us this past week! :)
I cannot believe that it is already December! Time is just going by so fast! I still feel like October just started!! I am excited though since it is the Christmas season and now I can listen to my Christmas music without feeling weird that it's too early (not that that would have stopped me! ;)). There is a really cool Christmas Initiative that the Church is doing right now. Everyone should go check out christmas.mormon.org and tell me what it looks like! :) Also, everyone should check out Youtube on December 7!! :)
This week we studied the Christ-like attribute knowledge. There were a few things that stuck out to me. The first thing was from "True to the Faith." It says, "ask your Heavenly Father to help you know what He would have you learn and do." That is one thing that I tried to do this week was ask Heavenly Father what I needed to learn. Sometimes, there was a specific scripture that stuck out to me that helped me for the day. This is something that I want to continue to really try and do. I want to just think about what I am reading and figure out why exactly I need to be reading it and allow the Spirit to guide me to learn what Heavenly Father needs me to learn. One thing that I have gained a huge testimony of, that was strengthened even more this week, was how every time we read the scriptures, we learn something new. Again in "True to the Faith" it says, "You will rediscover the treasures of the scriptures again and again, finding new meaning and application in them as you study them at different stages of life." I have read 1 Nephi many times in my life ;) but I have noticed each time I read them, a different verse sticks out to me, or I read a verse and think of it in a different way. I love in the quote how it says you will rediscover "treasures." It just puts an image in my mind of how wonderful and important the scriptures really are!

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Thank you again to those who email me! It means so much. Thank you for all of your prayers as well! :)
Sok szeretettel,
