Sometimes you just gotta eat some leaves and live in the forest...

Sziasztok!!

So this was a long week. It was good but it was long! It was a holiday in Hungary yesterday so we didn't get a chance to email.

So I'll start with a funny story this week. A few days ago we took a bus to this little town (which I don't even remember the name of). So there are three possible bus stops to get off at and we don't know which one we are supposed to get off at. so we just get off at the first one. After asking many people which way to go and walking in the sun for half an hour we eventually find it. The lady wasn't super thrilled to see us as she didn't remember she had set this program to meet with us. It was weird. I didn't really understand everything she was saying but I could tell that she was not really happy to see us and didn't really care to talk to us. But somehow after a couple of minutes of us standing awkwardly outside of her gate she let us in. We sat and talked with her for a while and she warmed right up and was super nice to us. I was a little thrown off but not complaining because she was being nice. Then all of a sudden she started getting really passionate about something she was talking about. Apparently, she said something about living in the forest and my companion said how she could never live in the forest. This lady walked off her porch to some plants so had and picked off the leaves. She brought them back to us and told us they smell like lemons and we should rub them in our hands. So...we did. Sure enough our hands smelled like lemons. The next part is the best bit. She says, "You can eat them as well!! Teseg!" (which means go ahead). So Broadhead Nővér and I just looked at each other and both thought "what the heck?" So we ate her leaves. I had to turn my head to "look at the flowers" because I was about ready to laugh my head off. She then took us into her garden and started picking off all different kinds of leaves and having us eat them. I know that salad is basically leaves so its probably not that weird....but it just felt so weird having her pick leaves off of her plants and having us eat them right them. We ended up going home with a grocery bag full of leaves and fun things. It was quite an interesting experience. I'm curious what she's going to make us eat the next time we go back! Our quote of the transfer is now..."Sometimes you just gotta eat some leaves and live in the forest..."

Yesterday we did half of our pday. We spent it with an investigator named Gabbi and her family. They took us on a 45 minute bike ride to see some castle ruins! The place is called Postelek. The bike ride was hard, I'm not going to lie. We borrowed the Elders bikes and they are terrible. So uncomfortable and I don't know how the bike I used is still working. It sounds like something is dying! Anways we got there and the ruins were way cool. We walked around for a while, saw some goats and pics and donkeys. Did a little exploring and then did the 45 minute bike ride home in the hot sun. Needless to say, by the time we got home all i wanted to do was drink a ton of cold water and collapse on my bed. I was so exhausted! It was fun though.

One of the Elders' investigators, Domi, got baptised on Saturday! It was a good service. Sister Hulbert, Sister Broadhead and I sang the "I like to look for rainbows" song in English and Hungarian. I'm NOT a singer haha but it was really fun.

Way cool story happened on Friday. We went home to start weekly planning and decided to give a less active member a call to see if we could go and visit her. Broadhead Nővér was talking to her and all of a sudden I hear (in Hungarian) "Okay we will come over now!" She is very busy and just happened to be home right then when we called her. So we called Elder Hulbert to give us a ride out to her house because it is a bit of a ways away. We get there and she and her son are in the garden picking cherries. We go in and chat with her. She is the greatest lady! There was such a spirit in her home. The reason she doesn't come to church is because she has to take care of her elderly mother every Sunday otherwise she would come! And her son was amazing! Elder Hulbert LOVED him!! He was so so nice and polite and spoke a big of English so translated for his mom. We invited him to church on Sunday but he had a skydiving show that he was in so he couldn't and said that he wanted to invite us to that. So instead we invited him to the baptism on Sunday which he came to. Then we had a program with him and elder Hulbert afterwards. We all had such a good feeling about him so hopefully we can meet with him again!

Well that's about it for this week. Email time is a bit shorter because we have stuff we have to do but those were the coolest things that happened. I hope you are all doing well. Thanks to everyone for their emails and love and support! I don't have time to respond to everyone but just know it is HIGHLY appreciated and I love hearing from everyone!

Sziasztok!

Második Hét! Second Week!

Sziasztok!!

This has been a great week!! I keep telling my companion I feel really spoiled to have this as my first transfer. Like it doesn't seem fair. I have the best trainer ever, I have the senior missionary couple right by us who help us so much, I'm in a super great town and we keep having super cool experiences. I am just really trying to appreciate them because I am sure there well be some harder times to come on the mission.

First cool story this week. On Tuesday we went out tracting (for those of you who don't know what that is - we go and knock on doors in neighborhoods and ask if they would like to hear our message). We had a lot of doors slammed in our faces. I'm not going to lie...I didn't think having so much rejection from people I don't even know would be that bad...but it totally sucks. Anyways we were having no luck. Then we get to this corner where we can either go left, right or straight. We said a prayer for guidance and when we finished, my companion said "I think we should go straight." (Which I had had the same feeling). So we go straight. We right a few door bells and people either aren't home or aren't interested in hearing what we have to say. As we are waiting by one door I look over to the other side of the street and see a house that I really like the looks of. It kind of reminded me a little bit of our house in Belgium...mostly because it had some circular windows. I said to my companion, "I think we should go over to that house." She said okay so we crossed the street (usually we just stay on one side of the street at a time). We ring the doorbell and wait for a little bit admiring the house. Then all of a sudden we here a "szia??" We turn around and there is this lady standing in her drive way so we walked over to her and told her who we are. At this point it was poooooooring rain so we all quickly ran into her garage. We talked to her for a few minutes in the garage and I thought it was cool but didn't feel like we would be having any luck. But then all of a sudden she invited us in to talk to her! So we went in and chatted for almost 2 hours! We ended up basically telling her about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. We gave her a Book of Mormon too which she gladly accepted. Then she told us how the missionaries a few years ago had gone and met with her dad and given him a Book of Mormon. But then they never went back (there must have been a transfer or something weird). She said that sometimes her dad comes to Békéscsaba on the weekends and maybe one time we could have a program all together. We called her a few days later to set something up and last night we went over and talked to her and her husband. I remember leaving her house that first time and just thinking how amazing it was that we were led to her house. I feel such a spirit about them when we talk. I know that it wasn't a coincidence that we went and knocked on her door. And what is really crazy is even though I don't understand everything she says, I understand her more than any one else here! And she is so good at making sure I'm not just lost and sitting there wondering what they are talking about.

On Wednesday we went with the Elders to a members house for lunch and to share a message. We had paprkias krumpli (potatoes with little pasta things and paprika sauce). That was cool. mostly the food was amazing!!

On Thursday we had English class. I taught it this week so that was pretty fun. Luckily I had Sister Hulbert with me to help since I am not a teacher so I didn't really know what I was doing. It was fun though. Then after that Elder Hulbert came up to us and asked if we had another program that night because he wanted to meet all together and talk about a few things. I was really curious why we had to meet and wondered if we had done something wrong! So about half an hour later we go over to their apartment. I walk in and the Hulberts and the Elders for a surprise birthday party for me!!!!! I walked in and saw balloons taped up and the Elders had bought me some coke and fanta and really delicious chocolate bars. Sister Hulbert had made me this nutella ice cream cake....OH MY GOSH it was so so so good. And then my companion brings out all these party hats and fun party things. It was so nice!!

Then on the morning of my birthday, I walked out of our room to go running and my companion had gotten up in the middle of the night and hung up balloons and a banner! Then went I got out of the shower she had made me french toast. She really spoiled me! And she bought me sunglasses (that i picked out last week). So nice!!! I seriously have the best companion ever!! Then that morning we went to meet the Elders and the Hulberts at a Lutheran church. The Elders have been teaching this family and both of the parents are ministers (I think that is what they are called). Anyways the wife let us go and look around the church and take pictures. That was way cool! In Békéscsaba there are two Lutheran churches right across the street from each other. One is way bigger (which was built afterwards because the smaller one was too small to fit everyone in). I think it's like the biggest Lutheran church in Eastern Europe? Or something cool like that. Then after that we went to Ricsi's school. Ricsi is a 15 year old in our branch who was baptized a few months ago. He's such a cool kid. We went with the Elders to go to their English class to teach some English. The teacher then asked us to stay for her next class and help them practice since some of them have a big English test coming up soon. As we were leaving, Ricsi came up to say goodbye to us and he had bought me a chocolate bar for my bday. Then we went to have lunch at another ward members house with the Hulberts. She made rakot paprika (aboslute no idea how to spell it) and it was AMAZING. Oh my gosh so good!! Then later that night we had institute with a few of the ward members. Two more people gave me some chocolate as bday gifts! So so sweet. I was really spoiled on my bday. Again I feel super lucky to be in this area especially as its my first area!

On Saturday we had another really cool experience. We were tracting again. We didn't know which way to go so we just randomly started walking down the road. We saw the Elders coming the other way so we crossed the street and started walking down the opposite way. We turned down another random street and started knocking on doors. Lots of people not really interested as usual. Then we rang a door bell and this little old lady comes to the door. I say our little intro explaining who we are and then she invites us in. I was totally shocked! As we go into their house she says that she is Edina's mom. So backstory....Edina is a lady in our branch who the Sunday before came up to Sister Broadhead and I and said that she wanted to set up a program with her parents. What we didn't know is that Edina had already called her parents that week and they told her that they wouldn't have time to meet. And we didn't even know where we lived we just happened to tract into them! We told them about Joseph Smith and the first vision and a little about the restoration. As Sister Broadhead was talking, the mom gets up and walks out and I'm thinking like "oh man...she just left at the best part what the heck." but then she comes back...crying!! Our message really touched her. and she fed us lunch. and we are going to go back some time and take them some suti (dessert). that was really cool!

Anyways sorry this was like the longest email I've ever written. Don't worry about reading it all cus its a lot hahaha. But it was just a good week! I am super grateful to be a missionary. I have seen so many tiny miracles. And I have only been here for 2 weeks. I love Békéscsaba. My Hungarian is coming along slowly but surely. I have to catch myself not getting really frustrated that I can't speak it fluently and remind myself I've only been learning for 2 and a half months and I've only been in the country for 2 weeks. But still I really wanted to learn this language fast. I love my companion. Have I mentioned that I have the best companion ever?! We get along so well, both want to work hard but we have fun while we are doing it. It's been great. And the Hulberts are sooooo wonderful. I love being a missionary. I'm really really tired like all of the time. But its worth it. And even though most people on the street don't want to talk to us, it makes it all worth it when we have some of the experiences we had this week.

Hope you all have a great week! Thank you for all of the many emails and birthday wishes!!! Luckily I don't look as old as I am ;)

Szeretlek titeket!!

Budapest!!!

Jo nápot mindenki!!!

We made it to Hungary! Oh my gosh where do I even start this week?



I'll finish with the MTC almost two weeks ago now. So our last Sunday night devotional was a little different. We got in there and they said we were just going to watch a video of an old devotional that Elder David A. Bednar did, which is an amazing devotional about the Character of Christ. So we watched that and then when it was over the lights came on and I reached down to put my things away. As I did that, everyone all of a sudden stood up. We were all confused as to what was going on. I looked up and DAVID A. BEDNAR WALKED IN!!!!! Seriously?!?! He then did an hour long Q and A with everyone. It was so cool! So we saw another apostle. I feel so spoiled!! :)

So then the next day we flew to Hungary!! I got to sit next to two of the Elders so that was super fun. We got to Paris and everyone was nasty from traveling and it was really hot and humid so we were all super gross looking haha and then we had a quick flight to Hungary. We all were a little stressed because we couldn't understand all of the Hungarian that was being spoken around us. But we kind of knew that would happen going in so at least it wasn't a huge shock. The Mission President and his wife are so nice!! I am so happy that he will be my mission president for most of my mission. So the first night we were fed at the mission home, we had some interviews with the mission president and then one of the AP's took us to see a castle. It overlooked Budapest so that was an amazing sight! Then we got to stay in a hotel that night which was nice. The next morning we woke up, had breakfast and then walked back over to the mission home. We did some streeting that morning (where we go out on the street and talk to people about the gospel). That was hard. Because I really don't speak Hungarian. It was fun though. Then we went back to the mission home and where we had a meeting and all met our trainers. My companion is Sister Broadhead from St. George, Utah. And she is awesome!! I seriously got so lucky to have her as my companion. The Elders in my district are pretty fun too. We have a senior missionary couple, Elder and Sister Hulbert, in our area that live right near us that are some of the nicest, coolest people ever!! I feel so lucky to have an awesome first area to serve in. They help us so much. Our first day here we went to the branch house and Sister Hulbert had put up signs and balloons welcoming the Sisters to the branch!

So I am serving in a little town called Békéscsaba. It's super cute and the people are pretty friendly - even the ones who want nothing to do with us. We are opening this area to sisters! They had sisters here before but it's been many years. The branch is really nice. On one of our first days we taught an English class which was SO MUCH FUN! I teach the more advanced class with Sister Hulbert so it's a blast. I get to teach this week so I'm excited. We have about 8 people in our class (at least that is how many came last week). Its so fun. We also have an institute class once a week and a family home evening once a week. We have been meeting with a few people since we got here and thats fun. It is so hard though. I just wish I could speak and understand everything they say back to me. The same thing with streeting. I can go up to people and introduce ourselves and kind of start talking but then I usually let my companion take over...especially when they start talking back to me. I know it will come with time and I need to be patient. I've only been in the country for a week so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I do not speak this language. I'm hoping it will start coming a long quickly though. Streeting is a little scary but it's good. I just don't let myself think that it is scary while we are doing. I normally probably wouldn't be one to just go up and start talking to a random stranger on the street. BUT that's what I keep doing.

One fun thing that happened this week (just kidding it wasn't fun but it is a funny story). The Hulbert's took Broadhead Nővér and I out for lunch. We got this soup. It was like a pea soup. So I already do not like peas but i figured I'll just try everything. So we are all eating it and wondering what the other stuff in the soup is. So Broadhead Nővér looks at the menu and says "Oh...you don't want to know what it is." It was liver. We ate pea and liver soup. It kind of made me super grossed out but i just sucked it up and finished it (luckily i had only poured a tiny bit to begin with). Just for everyones information...I do not recommend the pea and liver soup. :)

Yesterday we had to go to Buda because I had a new missionary training. It was fun to be back in the city already (I would love to be able to serve there at some point). It was a good training. It was fun to see some of my MTC district again. Unfortunately they had split is up so I only got to see a few of them. I didn't realize just how much I missed them until I saw them again. So it was good :) During a break we all walked down to a pékség (bakery). Most of us go this piece of bread that is HUGE and filled with nutella. It was amazing. I felt a little bit like dying afterwards because I was so full. But it was totally worth it.

Hungary is awesome. I love so much being back in Europe!!! It's a little different from the other places I've lived but it's still Europe. And it's so great. They have a Marks and Spencers here and a Tescos! Although sadly they aren't really the same. But it's still comforting to see those names and signs all over :) I am super exhausted like all of the time but I'm also so happy to be here. I'm nervous to talk to the people some times but I am so glad that I am a missionary. I hope you all have a fabulous week. I will try and take more pictures of Békéscsaba this week so you can see where we are serving.

Szeretlek titeket! Jó nápot! :)

Ultóso hét??‏

Hi Everyone!

Oh my gosh!! I cannot believe that this is the end. We leave the MTC on Monday and that is absolutely crazy to me! I can't believe how fast this time has gone by here. And I have LOVED it! So this is probably going to be a really short email this week. Really not a lot has happened.

So this week. You are probably not going to believe this but we got ANOTHER apostle! L. Tom Perry came and spoke to us. That makes 6 that we have seen in the time that we have been here. I don't think that has ever happened in the history of the MTC! So we've had Elders Anderson, Christofferson, Oaks, Perry, Holland and Uchtdorf. Seriously?! I feel a little spoiled haha but I'm not complaining it's been awesome. He talked to us about the importance of companions and being a good teacher. He gave us some great pointers on teaching.

So consecration week! That was hard. I'm not going to lie there were some days I totally sucked at it. But Thursday, Friday and Saturday were good! We all did really well at just speaking Hungarian. Then Sunday came and we had interviews with the Branch President, and no one else speaks Hungarian so we ended up just giving up and speaking English. Then Monday we tried hard again to pick it up and by the end of the day at least I was struggling a little bit. But walking out of the temple today it was a good feeling because I didn't have to feel guilty about speaking English haha

We did our last lessons with "investigators" a few days ago. We had one day where Martineau, Nover and I had to teach 3 lessons! That was a bit rough. We had one lesson in the morning over skype with someone actually in Hungary. That went really well actually! That was the best skype lesson we've had yet. She was so nice - I hope I get to meet her in Hungary for real. Then we taught one of our investigators (who is our teacher) and that was one of our best lessons too. Both of our investigators accepted baptism :) And then we taught our last lesson (where two of our elders are playing investigators). That one was okay - a little rocky and we got interrupted but in the end we kind of just all laughed about it and ended it.

Well that's about it. We have in-field-orientation tomorrow and then Saturday our teacher is going to do a cultural day with us and tell us all about Hungary. I am so excited for that. I'm not going to lie I'm slightly insanely terrified right now to be going to Hungary in just a few days. But I'm also crazy excited to get out and start doing the real work. I know lots of people say that being in the MTC for so long is hard and you're just ready to get out. There are some things that are hard and yes I'm exhausted 24/7 but I have absolutely LOVED my experience here. I have made some amazing friends that I know I will be in contact with forever. I know when I get to Hungary I probably won't understand most of what people are saying but I'm excited to be able to pick up the language more and become fluent in it. It is such a cool language! (by the way for Lord of the Rings nerds apparently it's really similar to Elvish? .....don't ask me...;))

Szeretlek titeket!! Talk to you all again from HUNGARY!!!! :)

Simons Nővér

p.s. Please keep Zach and all of the missionaries that were evacuated from Ukraine in your prayers! I am so broken hearted for all of them and just can't even imagine what they must be feeling. I know that the Lord has a plan and they will be okay but that doesn't make it easy. So just keep them in your prayers! :)

May 8, 2014

Sziastok emberek!!

So this was another great week. You aren't going to believe it. We got ANOTHER apostle to come speak to us! ELDER HOLLAND!!!!!! It was so great!! So we have had...Elder Anderson, President Uchtdorf, Elder Oaks, Elder Christofferson and Elder Holland. Seriously!?!?!?! Sorry to all the missionaries who didn't get any apostles before. So not fair to you all but I'm super pumped! It was a really great talk all about the importance of missionary work and making sure we are fully converted because we are inviting people to come unto Christ. We cannot invite people somewhere unless we are already there. I just liked that :) He got us all super pumped up for missionary work. He said that since he has been home for 52 years, there hast not been a day that has gone by that he hasn't though about his mission. He said "My mission meant everything to me. And I want yours to mean everything to you!" I want my mission to mean everything to me too. I'm just trying to do the best that I can and be the best missionary I can be now so that I don't have any regrets.

Funny story! So on Monday night we got back to our residence. I decided to take a shower at night because the next morning we have gym but I didn't want to shower right before gym in the morning. SO all of a sudden I hear "SIMONS NOVER SIMONS NOVER!! CHRISTENSEN NOVER IS HERE AND SHE'S SAYING GOODBYE!!" (Christensen Nover is one of our teachers who left a few days ago for summer). So I like quickly get out, put on my PJ's while I'm still soaking wet. I run out and she's like "Come outside!! The Elders are out there waiting so we can get a picture!!" SERIOUSLY?!?! So we go outside, in my pj's hair wet and not brushed and no make up on (apart from the slight raccoon eyes I had). The elders kept trying to get pictures of us like that! It was pretty funny hahahaha

So last night we had a cool experience. When new missionaries come into the MTC, the first day they go around and do this "investigator experience." They have two missionaries come in and like introduce themselves and start talking to the investigator and then the mediator stops them and the new missionaries take over. We got to be those missionaries last night - like the example ones! It was so cool! It was strangely really hard to do it in English hahahaha so when people who are learning a new language say "oh man this would be so much easier in English! i could do it with no problem!" That is FALSE! It is just as hard if not harder in English. In Hungarian, I only know so much so I can keep it more basic and simple. So props to the English speaking missionaries. For real! Another funny story about that night. So we go into these demos with mics attached to us. So we were instructed to turn them on as soon as we "knock on the door." So we did and went in and did our thing and then we came out. We were so pumped we were just talking about how cool it was and walking down the hall until we realized our mic's were STILL ON! Oh my gosh I was mortified! Although we are pretty sure as soon as we left they turned our mic's down for us. At least that's what I'm hoping. If not that's really embarrassing lol but no one said anything to us afterwards.

So today starts Consecration Week!!! That means that the moment we stepped out of the temple this morning, we are not allowed to speak a word of English until we walk out of the temple again next Thursday. I am freaked out but super excited at the same time. We are allowed to translate for each other (well we are allowed to do whatever we feel is right). So my companion and I are going to at least try for a day and translate for each other. But yeah we cannot speak any English other than that. It's going to be pretty tricky but I'm also excited! I think it will really help.

Well that's about it...there isn't much new that goes on here. We do get our travel plans tomorrow and that is CRAZY to think about! We have less than 2 weeks left. I am both excited and sad. I honestly have loved my MTC experience. I know some people are ready to get out of here but I have loved it! I'm terrified and insanely excited at the same time to go to Hungary. It will be fun to travel with our whole zone because there are 16 of us. And our district is super tight and we're pretty close with the other zone too. I'm excited to travel with them all. It will be really sad though when we have to say goodbye to each other in Hungary.

Things are great! I'm so glad I am a missionary. I would'nt want to be anywhere else right now.

Seretlek titeket!! (I love you all!) ...(i think that's how you say it;))

May 1, 2014

Sziasztok!!!

So this has been a pretty good week! Not a ton has happened...even though we had an extra day since our p-day was changed to Thursday. One of the best parts about the week though is that it is so warm and sunny out...I got to go play soccer! TWICE! It was so great! Our whole schedule changed so on Tuesdays we now have gym in the morning. However, this past Tuesday there was a confusion with our schedules so we ended up having like a bunch of extra gym time so we were just out on the field playing soccer. The Elders and Sisters aren't allowed to play a game together (our Elders came up and asked) but we are allowed to just pass the ball back and forth with each other. It was so fun. I'm coaching Cropper Nover on soccer now :) Ah it was so good to have a soccer ball at my feet again.

Another great thing about this week...you're not going to believe this. We got ANOTHER apostle who came and spoke to us!! D. Todd Christofferson was the devotional speaker on Tuesday. We are so so lucky!!! 3 members of the quorum of the 12 and a member of the first presidency! Seriously?! So cool. He talked all about trust and how important it is for Christ to be able to trust us. It was really cool! He was so funny too! He also said in his talk which was really cool that it is our "privilege" to be able to serve a mission. I loved that because it really is. There are lots of people I'm sure that wished they could serve a mission but they can't for one reason or another. But it just helped put it into perspective for me and helped me realize that i want to have no regrets on my mission. I want to work as hard as I acn and just be the best missionary I can be. His wife also spoke and she was so great. She said, "your mission will be the hardest thing you will ever love." I just loved that! Being on a mission is hard! I am so exhausted all the time and Hungarian....is HARD. But I love it and I'm so glad that I am here!

Oh and a huge thing this week...we SKYPED with actual people in Hungary!!! I was so scared!!! We had to skype with them for half an hour and get to know them and share a little message with them. Once we got started though things started to flow and it was pretty fun! I didn't understand everything she said but I was able to pick up on a good amount of it and figure out what she was saying! She was super nice. HOpefully I'll get to meet her for real when I go to Hungary. Anyways that was pretty cool. We have to do it again next week. I'm sure I'll still be just as nervous next week hahaha but it makes teaching our "investigators" (teachers and other missionaries) not quite AS scary!

Speaking of which Martineau Nover and I had a pretty bomb-diggity lesson this past week with one of our investigators. We taught him all about faith and it was probably the most spiritual lesson we have had yet. It was pretty great! We have also started teaching two other missionaries in the class. We teach King and Bagley Elder and they teach us (although we have already taught them twice yet and we haven't been taught.) It was pretty intimidating at first trying to teach your peers. But it's actually pretty fun and it's cool because we are able to learn a lot from each other. It was kind of hard at first to take it seriously because they are pretty funny playing their parts but once we get into it, it's fun!

Well I feel bad I don't have that much to report this week. Things are going well though. I am loving life here. I'm excited to get to Hungary but also anxious and not quite ready to leave the MTC. I don't feel like I know enough to go out in the field haha but I'm sure once I get there it will be amazing. I cannot believe how fast the time is going. Seriously we have two weeks left and we will be in Hungary!!! We get our travel plans next week I think and that's going to make it even more real! I am just really trying to enjoy every moment because it is already going by fast and I know when we are out in the field doing the real work, it's probably going to go by even faster and I don't want to have any regrets while I'm out here. It's so fun. I get so pumped when I'm in lessons and I'm bearing my testimony in Hungarian to the people.

Testimony in Hungarian :)
Tudom hogy az evangeliumot igaz. Tudom hogy Jezus Krisztus es Isten el. Tudom hogy Isten a mi Mennyei Attyank. Tudom hogy a szentirasok igaz es nagyon nagyon fontos. Tudom hogy Joseph Smith profeta volt es Joseph Smith lefordidotta a Mormon Konvye. Tudom hogy Thomas S. Monson profeta ma.

Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week! :)
