What a crazy week!
First
of all, I'm being transferred to Debrecen this week. I have to leave
Szeged, but I kind of expected it. We are the only trio of sisters in
the mission and one of the native Hungarian sisters is going home this
week so President decided to take me out of the trio and put me in her
place, in Debrecen.
I'm excited, but leaving Szeged will not
be easy. Being in an area for nine weeks and leaving is hard enough, but
Szeged has been my home for the past fifteen weeks and I feel like I
will leave part of my heart here when I leave. I had my first baptism
here in Szeged. The members here in Szeged have adopted the missionaries
into their own families. It's just heart-breaking to leave them.
I've
just got to accept the fact that it's my time to leave and that there
are people in Debrecen who need me to find them and teach them.
This week though was pretty jammed pack.
Monday
we went out fishing with Gabor and his dad. There is a special bug
called the mayfly that comes out of the Tisza river after hatching from
underwater. It only happens one week a during the whole year. and the
ugly mayflies just fly all over. The fish literally jump out of the
water catching these ugly things. It's the best week to fish on the
Tisza. Well we went out fishing and I caught two huge fish! We were
doing spinning and fly-fishing. That was the first time that I did
either and I caught one with both styles. It was way fun! The bugs and
fish were both jumpin like crazy!! We had a really good time with Gabor
and his dad too.
Tuesday
we set off early in the morning for Budapest because we had zone
conference. President's last zone conference before he goes home. It was
a good time though. The main topic and thing I got out of it was the
importance of becoming better everyday.
After zone conference
my companions and I went to Debrecen, which is on the way east side of
the country, for splits. We actually sat on the train by this younger
dude and had a good missionary moment. By the end we ended up taking a
selfie with this guy and he put it on Facebook. hahaha! Anways, we got
to stay for a day and teach some people in Debrecen. That was way fun,
we got to see how the STL's (sister training leaders) taught and learned
a lot from them. Now look at me, I'm going back to Debrecen to finish
where I left off with those people earlier this week. It will be
interesting, but I am excited.
Wednesday and
Thursday morning we were in Debrecen.
As
we were heading home we had another missionary moment where we talked
to a lady who was heading back to Germany from visiting her family here
in Hungary but it all started when she hiccuped and I thought there was a
small animal sitting behind me. I look behind me and she says in her
cute hungarian accent, "I'm sorry... excuse me." Anyways she started
asking about our church and that was cool. We shared our testiomonies
and hopefully she gets hooked up with some missionaries in Germany. One
could only hope.
Yeah so Thursday
evening we came home had a few programs . They were all good. We met
with LZ again, who we had on bap date last transfer but she didn't want
to meet anymore. It was a good meeting with her, we brought a member who
she is pretty familiar with. The program went good, but she still
hasn't come to church, so that's what we're working on.
RR
is way solid if any of you are wondering. Now with me and Layton gone
is way sad but we know that he will stay strong. No doubt.
Friday and Saturday
were just kind of chill days. We did some finding, but didn't see a lot
of success out of it, to be honest. Sometimes you get them and
sometimes you dont.
Sunday,
Kovács came down to Szeged. Sister Kovács was my companion my second
transfer in Pápa. She spoke in our branch about her mission and how
members can get involved in missionary work. It was way good. Gee, I
love her so much.
Wow, my email is like way all over
the place. I'm just not really thinkin' straight. Having to leave is on
my mind, and it sucks, but this is the missionary life for ya. No, it
doesn't suck. We just have to move when it's time.
I'll take lots of pictures of Debrecen, my new city, next week and it will be good (:
Love ya'll
