The first week in a new area is always
interesting. Nyíregyháza is good. I miss Szombathely so much. I am
learning that I have a hard time saying goodbye. I also am learning
that I really like routines. I like how comfortable I was with the
area, all the investigators, and all of the members. It was nice. I
know that I will love Nyíregyháza.
But I have to tell you this about
Szombathely. So Tuesday night one of our investigators that lives
close to us, told us to just stop by real quick so we could say bye.
He is the Britney Spears one and I have talked about him tons. So we
stopped by and stay bye. He gave me chocolate and a not and told me
to read it later. I read it on the walk home and was bawling because
at the end he wrote down his testimony. I know he had one because he
has told me, but it was just differnet. I know that he will get
baptized once he can figure out how to overcome the obstacle that is
keeping him from that. I just love him so much. And then later while
I was packing B called and was like come out I am here. She got her
patriarchal blessing that day and so was traveling back and forth to
Budapest so we couldn't say bye during the day. She gest out of her
car and goes I had to say goodbye to my soul sister. She brought a
cake. How tender is that? Since she isn't allowed in our apartment we
talked in the hallway for like 50 mintues. Sister Hinckley was such a
champ. I am so lucky to have been blessed with great companions. I
just love B so much. She is the one I am naming my daughter after. We
were both crying. It ended up being such a teary day.
Nyíregyháza is good. There are some
great members here. We also have a senior couple here too, which is
fun. We put someone on bap date last night and we are going to start
the stop smoking program with him tomorrow. His bap date is for July
because he needs to get married and quit smoking first. Him and his
fiance were like you are strict but that is really good. (story of my
mission with investigators saying that, not all of them. I am only
strict with the onest that need it). They both were like this is just
what he/I need. haha. oh goodness. I totally was not even that strict
with him last night. really I wasn't!
They had me introduce myself in
sacrament meeting and later that day one of the member of the
bishopric who asked me to bare my testimony called and thanked me for
being so willing and said that I speak the best Hungarian of any
sister that has ever served here. and then I said thanks and tried to
say something funny back and I said it wrong and he correct my
Hungarian. It is fine. life is funny. But everyone says I speak
really well so that is nice. I don't think I speak well but whateves.
Ok I love you all tons!
Sister Grigg
sister daniels and I met up at zone
training 2 weeks ago. best day ever. i love seeing my past
compnaions.
When Bogi came and said goodbye with
the cake.
Sorry there is no picture of Sister
Moffat and I! We haven't taken one yet. I know so lame. But she is so
excited because I am the first of her companions to be shorter than
her. She is 5 feet so we are definitely the shortest companionship in
the mission, which is funny. We are both super sassy, which has been
really funny. She is from Washington and went to BYU before her
mission too.
Ok so my boots broke on Saturday.
We went with the elders to an eatting appointment and it was raining
and they made fun of me for the 30 minute walk back... so sad.
Bowling
In szombathely we did a lot of tracting
because streeting wasn't very good. never a lot of people on the
streets. the numbers we did get never panned, were fake, or if we set
up they dogged.
This was the one success that I say
from streeting in 4 months! she is so cute. Sister Hinckley and I
found her and I got to meet with there 4 or 5 before I left and she
came to church! So prepared for the gospel!
