Szervusztok!
I didn't forget to
write yesterday, no worries, it is just transfer week. We have our P-day
on Tuesday during transfer week. Interesting news, I am not staying in
Pécs! I got the last call I expected and am going zone leader in the
other side of the country in Szeged. It will be wonderful I am sure.
In other news, this
week was full of adventures and miracles. I will start from the
beginning!
P-Day
This day was VERY
funny. We decided to go to an acclaimed zip lining course. It
turned out to be a kids park, that was awkward. We still climbed a
mountain and went bobsledding anyway. We went down twice and it was a
ball, but then the strangest thing happened, hail the size of marbles started
falling from the sky! Elder Bennet and I, along with the other Elders
fled into the nearest form of shelter, a port-a-potty. It was great
spending P-day in a port-a-potty with 3 other guys. You have to love the
mission.
Week days
These were some of my
busiest and most hectic days of my mission! We were working super hard
for our investigators. We have a lot that are struggling in different
areas and we were doing all we could to help them in all ways possible.
It was hard and challenging, yet some of my favorite moments were held within
these few short days.
Sunday
As the weekend hit,
we realized that we needed to do something more to help our
investigators. So, we fasted. That day we had 3 great investigators
at church. I also had the opportunity to meet one of my future
neighbors! My sister moved to Newburg just before Sándor bácsi came to
Hungary to visit his home. Sándor is my sister's neighbor! We
talked about Oregon a bit and it was just a little miracle for me. I will
use Hungarian after my mission!
MONDAY (the day of
them all)
I just wanted to share a miracle that happened, once again, at the last moment. Yesterday, we were feeling down due to some struggling investigators. We fasted, but it turned out that the best thing for them was to let them go. We decided to keep going and trust in our prayers and fast. By a random chain of events, we found ourselves in an unfamiliar area tracting some new buildings. As it began, we didn't seem to see any success. We kept going and with a prayer in our hearts, the door was opened to a part member family who had, just earlier that month, been praying to find the church again. The mother looked at us with gratitude and love as her prayers were answered.

It has been a great
transfer, I am just sad it is already gone. We have met and helped so
many people, but there is just more to be had.
Have a great week
everyone and I PROMISE pictures next week. We haven't been able to send
pictures due to our emailing cafe, but I will find a way in my new Szegedi cafe
next week!
Smile : D
