Hello!
I hope everyone has been having a good
hot summer week because that is what this week was. It was either 44
or 43 degrees the whole week, which 109 or 111 degrees plus humidity.
It was rough. It is hard to work in the heat because there is no air
conditioning so people do not want to meet because apartments are too
hot. So no one wants to meet so we find, but when you find people do
not want to stop and talk because it is too hot out. Rough life. We
still had decent work this week though. The later part of the week
picked up.
So yesterday at church, Laci told me he
found my blog online. Ok. haha. He tries so translate it in Hungarian
and so he read about the time when we went to his birthday party over
3 months ago. So I told him this week I would send home a picture of
us so there will be one included. And then Zsuzsi goes oh yeah, I
found it too and I look at the pictures. I don't think there have
been any pictures of here though. I need to change that. Zsuzsi is so
cool. We have the best programs with her because she really is
studying the scriptures now. I just wish she would get baptized, but
she has to get married first and her fiances doesn't want to get
married anytime soon. Have I mentioned that she is moving to Germany
in a month or so? She has already made sure she can meet with
missionaries there. love it. Yesterday she asked if she could watch
the next conference because she really enjoys reading the conference
Liahonas. Golden.
Imre is doing so well. He mentioned
that because of his work he doesn't know if he can come to church
every week. Then we taught the 10 commandments and focused on the
Sabbath day and he goes ok well I need to change somethings and at
the end we were like will we see you at church on Sunday, and he
goes of course it is a commandment! So good. It is so great to see
him progress and just be ready and willing to hear the commandments.
I know the spirit is telling us what to teach and when we should
teach it! We are teaching the law of chastity this week!
So we have had lost of interesting
characters in the heat. For our working hours last PDay we tabled the
whole time and Elder Giacalone and I made a little competition to see
who could stop the most bikes and get them to take pass along cards.
I totally won. It was kinda of cool because I got a few numbers from
that, one of which we are meeting today! And another we are meeting
with later this week! But the characters have mostly been drunks this
week, which is sad. Maybe this makes me very unchristlike, but I
don't have a lot of tolerence for them. They just try and flirt with
me and telll me I am pretty and won't leave. One Sister Peterson has
taken on and is trying to get him to stop drinking. She tells him to
stop drinking and so now he comes by the table everytime we are
there. Rough...and he still drinks obviously.
We met a Dad and a son on Saturday and
they told us to come over the next day so we did. Sometimes, I just
pause and think this is not real life but it really is. So we took a
20 minutes bus ride out there and then a 15 minute walk from the bus
stop and it turns out they just wanted handouts from the church but
they listened very intently to our message. And the son was yelling
to everyone that walked by come in we have americans here! wild. We
were walking there and the dad goes did you tell someone you were
coming here and I was like oh my gosh what are we getting into. So I
quickly told Sister Peterson to text the elders what bus we took and
what stop we got off at while I talk to him. I turns out it was
probably because they wanted food, clothes, or money or something.
wild.
ok well have a wonderful week!

This is Laci. We have been teaching him
since I got to the country, and he was on bap date, but we are going
to give him a little break now. He has lots of “signs” and
recently wrote them all done and gave Bíro elnők 10 pages he had
written down his signs to read. I think it has something to do with
the fact that he really enjoys coming to seminary every week, and the
2 months that he was coming we were in Revelations. so yeah.
So there was a Relief Society activity
this week where we made elderberry jam and I came with my hair
looking like this and so 2 of the young women girls that were there
were like do mine like yours so we had matching hair. This is Bérni
and Alexa. Alexa is returning to activity! On Sunday she told me she
loved me like 3 times. I almost cried :)
I sent you the picture of 3 of the yw and I. There are so close to my heart. Alexa, Adri, and Valentina. Only Bérni is missing from that picture.
Elder Giacalone and I get cokes every
Pday when we go grocery shopping
