Sok
szeretettel köszöntelek mindenkit!
This week was
probably the most memorable week I have had thus far. We had an
investigator share her conversion story with us a month before her baptism, I
had a wonderful time in Sopron with my district and we held an English service
of church for 9 African and Filipino exchange students studying at a college in
Austria.
I am so excited for
the end of this month because of the baptism of one of our investigators is
coming up. This adorable néni was met on the street and I think I already
said before, but she is so amazing. Within two weeks she read the first 3
books in the Book of Mormon and the index. She has had such a hard life
and in a moment of need, we found her. This week as we met with her and
another member, she shared of the hope we gave her. I am just so grateful
to be part of such an amazing work. That is one of my fondest memories
since being in the country. I am so absolutely happy for her and I am so
happy to witness her smile slowly growing.
Sopron is only an
hour train ride north. It is on the top of Hungary, right next to
Austria. We were there for a district meeting at the senior couple, the
Flammers', house last Friday. We had a great meeting and then to my
surprise, they brought out a gigantic chocolate cake out for me! It was
so thoughtful and delicious. It was a sugar filled, American, chocolate
cake. Just like being at home, it was so great.
Another highlight
of the week, next to teaching at the Paragvári Általános Iskola and
our wonderful investigator sharing her conversion story, was holding an English
church service for 9 exchange students from Africa and the Philippines studying
in Austria. They wanted to experience Hungary, but the only possible day
to come was on a Sunday, so we were invited by a former investigator to hold a
"mass" for them. Through the coordination of a former
investigator, and with the help of the amazing senior couple in Sopron, the
Flammers, we were able to hold a wonderful church service with singing, prayer
and testimony. We taught about the Savior, His love and our wonderful
opportunity to build an even stronger relationship with Him through the
scriptures and the Holy Ghost. It was such a special experience.
I couldn't help but
think about the hope and help this gospel gives us. This being my
birthday week, I have been thinking about what I would ask for. In all
honesty, I would ask that everyone I know and love could know about this
wonderful message, to know that everyone would be safe in the comfort of this
gospel. I couldn't be in a better place and I have already received the
greatest gift I could receive, this opportunity.
Elder Cutler is
still a champ and is doing great. Speaking like a profi and doing work.
Have a great week
everyone! Smile for me : )
Szeretlek
benneteket!
