Hey everyone!
I am just happy right now!
This week was a blast and just full of great experiences. Many highlights of my mission came to pass
this week and I am so excited to share them with you all!
First of all, I headed back to Veszprém to baptize the most
adorable girl in the world, Kriszti. I
worked with her mom a lot when I was in Veszprém after knocking on their
door. Her mom was baptized many years
ago, but Kriszti was too young to be baptized as well. Time went by and they fell away from contact
with the Elders. Well, I happened to
tract into them just a month before Kriszti's 8th birthday last September and
they have been meeting ever since. We
wanted to make sure this sweet little girl would be ready, so we set her
baptismal date for March, giving her plenty of time to prepare. I then promised her to come back on that
wonderful day when she makes it there.
Well, her and her mom made it. It
brought tears to my eyes to see their smiles and that amazing little girl
dressed in white.
We had some amazing experiences with our investigator, Ági
néni, as well. She had her baptismal
interview and passed with flying colors.
Our district leader came out just in awe, expressing how amazing she
is. She has made so many changes in her
life and I couldn't be more excited for her.
The greatest part of it all is that she isn't only looking forward to
her baptism, but to stepping into the doors of the temple a year from this
Saturday.
I also feel honored to have been asked to baptize her this
weekend. It will be so fantastic, I can
hardly wait.
The work is just going forth with so much strength. Yesterday, we put another great man on
baptismal date. His name is Tamás and he
is so awesome. He stopped US on the
street asking us to meet. In his second
program yesterday, he accepted a baptismal date for the month of May. Our investigators are coming to church,
enjoying these blessings and experiencing the joy there is in this gospel.
We also had district conference this last Sunday as
well. Members from the West end of
Hungary all gathered here in Szombathely to hear an area authority speak to
them. This seventy from Holland,
President Boone, spoke with so much power and authority. He spoke of the blessings just waiting to be received in this gospel, how amazing the concept of invitation is and the joys
of the gift of the Holy Ghost. It
touched one of our investigators preparing to be baptized soon, causing him to
go up, talk to this man of God and in the end, HUG HIM. It was so great to see. I am just full of joy and gratefulness to be
part of this work.
With district conference, we had many cool opportunities,
like teka bowling with our investigators and the youth, helping our
investigators meet with more friends in the church and we also had some amazing Mexican food from the senior couple in Sopron.
It was a fun opportunity to mix and mingle with the members and their
friends.
Well, we have come to the end of another transfer! I am becoming an old missionary! I was a little surprised by my transfer call
though, Elder Cutler is leaving! I am receiving a new companion here in Szombathely, Elder Brown. Elder Brown is one of Elder Cutler's college
buddies, so I have only heard good things, but I am going to miss Elder
Cutler. To every good thing there is an
end though, I have nothing but faith that this will be a transfer to remember!
Another day another dollar!
I just can't even begin to express how happy and grateful I am. This work is amazing and I couldn't be in a
better place. Let's see what the Lord
has in store for us this next transfer!
Jó hetet!
Sok szeretettel,
Elder Jake Nelson
