Wow,
this week was exhausting! Sister Schnoor and I finished the week with
twenty-one programs. It's safe to say that we were running everywhere
this week and I absolutely LOVED it. It made for a long week but meeting
with our investigators and seeing them progress towards baptism makes
it all worth it.
We had really good programs this week, and we
managed to get a few referrals from some of the members and even from
other investigators. One of the recently baptized members suggested that
we start meeting with her boyfriend and we ended up having two really
good programs with him this week. It went really well, and one of them
she was able to be there and give her own testimony of the gospel. I
really could feel the spirit strongly and I hope that her boyfriend will
feel the sweet influence and spirit she brings to our programs. One of
our new investigators that we met last week, while emailing, wanted to
set up with us so we had a program with him at this really rendes
(classy) hot chocolate place. He is pretty much the nicest guy ever, he
speaks english pretty well, but he wants to practice it, as he is trying
to find a better job where he can speak english more so when he learned
that we teach english he was jumping up and down over the opportunity
to meet with us. We meet him in the belváros (downtown) and he says he
would like to invite us out for hot chocolate, we accepted his
invitation and we started walking with him. I'm not joking when I say
this guy must have said hi to twenty people on this ten minute walk to
kaféház. He knows everyone! We get to the coffee house and of course he
knows all the people working there.We had a really good program with
him, and afterwards he asks us if he can do anything to help us and told
us how if we would like sometime he can give us a tour of
Székesfehérvár and tell us all the history of the buildings (sidenote:
Székesfehérvár used to the capital city of Hungary before Budapest).
There is a lot of neat history in this town. He randomly asked us if we
wanted to learn how to folk dance because he knows of a good place to
take folk dancing lessons. We thought that was super funny. All in all,
he was super nice and we set up with him again in the same week. We met
at the branch house
on Sunday
and he surprised us and brought us hot chocolate from McDonalds
(mekizni- to go to McDonalds--funny hungarian word). That lesson went
well too. We are excited and we think he has a lot of potential in the
gospel, so cross your fingers!
Oh goodness, funny story for the
week, we call this guy out of the area book who met with the
missionaries a few months ago but then stopped because of his crazy
schedule, so I call him and I ask him if we could meet with him and to
my surprise he says, "yes, when would be good for you?" We set up a
specific time and he says, "great, I'll be there." The day comes when we
scheduled with him and about an hour before we were supposed to meet
with him he calls us and says, "Hey, to tell you the truth, I am
actually in Jerusalem for work and I won't be back until the middle of
November but you were too sweet to say no to, but then I realized that
it wouldn't be possible to meet, so maybe we can meet when I get
back..." HAHA. I almost died laughing! I cracked a little giggle and
said, "Yes, call us when you get back to Hungary. :P "
I can't really think of anything else, we just had a crazy busy week with all of our programs and all of them went really well.
