2 fantastic devotionals: Elder Anderson and his wife surprised us and came and talked Tuesday night. They bore testimony of the Savior. Apostles testimonies are so powerful. They said, "If you dont know what to say to an investigator, if you dont know how to answer their question, or dont know the vocabulary in a new language your speaking then simply TESTIFY of Christ. The spirit will confirm your testimony" He also emphasized the importance of teaching simply. He said, "Life is not easy to live but, it is easy to understand." The second devotional was by Sister Janice Kapp Perry. She was so kind and the spirit was so strong as we all sang a medley of some of the childrens hymns she has composed:
Love is Spoken Here
I Belong to the Church
A Child's Prayer
I Love to see the temple
And we finished with the Sisters singing As sisters in Zion and the elders singing Well bring the world his truth at the same time. All songs she wrote.
The week flew by and I cant believe that we only have three left! The Dutch leave this week. And we get 21 new missionaries next week. Our new Branch President is great. He and his wife just returned from being Mission Presidents over the West Indies mission in July. Theyre all about memorizing scriptures and testifying of pure doctrine. Its great that we have him before we leave hes less like a grandpa and more like a mission president!
Hungarian continues to get harder and harder which is good I guess because it helps us rely on the Spirit ALWAYS. This week Csolity Nővér came into the MTC for 2 weeks shes from Hungary and is so nice and funny. She tells us daily how bad our Hungarian is but then tells us not to worry because no one actually knows how to conjugate when they arrive in Hungary.That gives me hope. She actually served for 3 months in Hungary before coming here while she waited for her VISA and when we asked about President Szabadkai she said he was one of the most strict people shes met but that sister Szabadkai was the most kind women and a fantastic cook. Were all excited and scared to go.
Our service changed from devotional take down to cleaning Saturday mornings. So thats fun and I get to wear a Ghost-busters vacuum for a couple hours every week. I consider that a win. Except that I cant get the theme song out of my head.
This week included lots of memorization, reading the book of mormon (A Mormon Konyve) in both languages side by side and lots of prayers. Thanks for all your prayers. We also had a delicious guacamole night THANKS MOM.
I love the gospel. The atonement has changed my life and it can change yours daily as you access it. It is infinite it never runs out.
Thanks Derick for smuggling in Taco Bell our district leader forgot to get the mail so It was one day old but I ate one for lunch the next day and later regretted it. Its the thought that counts thankyouthankyou or köszönöm in magyar.

I miss you.
And Im grateful for your testimonies.
Sok szeretettel,
Hughes Elder
