This week in a nutshell: Pretty dang good.
One
more week and then there's a transfer, all of us are trying to work as
hard as we can to leave Szeged better than we found it. Unfortunantly we
will be losing at least two people out of our cute little district. Our
Zone Leader, Elder Neely, will be heading home in ten days, and one of
the elders out of the other elder companionship willl probably end up
bouncing after this transfer. It's kind of sad to think about, but they
are needed somewhere else. My companion and I don't know if we will stay
together, I will most likely stay in Szeged seeing how I just got here
like two weeks ago, but Sister Layton might leave. We hope not though,
we have become best of friends and have helped each other through so
much, it would really suck if we got seperated but we will just see.
Sister
Layton and I's week was pretty busy, we had at least two programs
everyday which is actually a big deal. Our programs went really well. We
are teaching this family who the dad is really really interested in the
gospel and wants us to come back whenever and as soon as we can because
he just loves listening and learning about the gospel. We visited them
twice this past week and it went really well, we are going to meet with
them this week again and the way it's going now we hope that we can bap.
challenge him and his family this upcoming week or soon after. They are
just that excited about the gospel and it's just awesome to see that!
We
had zone training this past week, it was the first time I didn't have
to go anywhere to go to zone training because everyone comes here to
szeged. Oh heck, that
Thursday
was also my year mark! I entered the MTC a year ago. That is crazy to
think about and now I only have six more months left...uhh but zone
training was super good. It was Elder Neely's last zone training, super
sad, but Elder Neely and Elder Whiting did really good!
Sister Layton and I did that flyer finding. We went out
Wednesday and put out the flyers saying that we would be tracting in the area
on Friday and
Sunday. We weren't too sure how successful it was going to be.
Friday
we saw some success from it, we talked to a few people and they were
super nice. We even gave out a few Books of Mormon, but no let ins.
Sunday,
on the other hand, wasn't too successful. Everybody definitely knew
that we were coming and gave us a swift, "No thank you" or looked
through their peep hole and didn't answer the door. It's okay though, we
tried and that's all that matters. You can't get them all.
we had a baptism for one of our investigators. She was suuuuper nervous
and scared all the way up to it, but it turned out to be super super
good! She really had nothing to worry about it. A lot of people came and
it was just a great success. You could tell almost immediately after
she came out of the water that she had definitely been "reborn" and the
happiness was evident by her face and tears. Then
she got the gift of the Holy Ghost, truly a good experience! Now she is
a member and doing super well! Just keeping her strong with MEMBER
SUPPORT is what we need now. The members, in general, stay, the
missionaries don't. It's hard to get our investigators converted to the
gospel, instead of the missionaries, but I'm sure this lady will stay
strong and be a huge contribution to our branch here in Szeged.
