Tupperware and the wicked world

It was super talking to you yesterday. I dont have lots of time so Ill throw out some highlights:

-We got to visit a member with an autistic daughter who had a birthday! It was so fun to talk with them, sing happy birthday (at least 14 times), and eat brownies (they requested them the first week I got here hah). The best part was the spirit in their home. I could feel the love of God. I was reassured in that hour that God loves each of his children uncomprehensably and knows them personally. Im so grateful to be able to work with the members here. Their testimonies inspire me and their selfless diligence motivates me.

-Later that night we had a Sajt night.I was unfamiliar with this body destroying activity when I agreed to it. It consists of cutting large pieces of mozzella cheese dipping it in water then flour then egg then breadcrumbs then repeat with the egg and breadcrumbs then FRY. It is a recipe for disaster. My body still hurts-- but it is rediculously delicious. Not worth it.

-We visited Rozsika Néni (an eternal investigator that we have been told to visit once a month and tell her we love her sort of idea...) We brought the childrens book 'You are Special' to our visit and planned on reading it with her. Well she is the perfect stereotypical néni! She saw me and came over a few inches from my tag to read my name. She started "Hug---hesh" Then I made the mistake of saying actually its pronounced Hues. Hah she went off for a solid 25 minutes telling me how stupid english is and how wicked the world is (classic néni talk). She told us that she lets us come over because were not wicked but every other person is wicked in this world hah. Then we had a prayer and asked if we could read the book with her and she immediately responded "My dears my dears I cannot stand to hear you try to read in Hungarian I will read it to you that way we dont have to bear listening to all those mistakes you will make!" #selfesteemboost Hah then after EVERY single page for 5 pages she would ask us if it was ever gonna make sense hah! And EVERY time we told her yes yes wait till the end and finally after taking five minute breaks between each page where she somehow got off track to tell us how wicked the world is-- she just gave up and read the last two pages and said "Oh youre right my children it does make sense in the end." And proceded to finish the book finally! Hah at this point we were trying to leave since we didnt want to be late so we asked if she would pray and she offered a great prayer and after she finished as we tried to slip out she said "Not so quck my dears I made you some food!" I had a little stroke when I heard that... probably because my heart was working so hard trying to digest the fried cheese from two days before. But she ended up giving us 12 tupperwears full of fruit soup, potatoes, chicken, old pasta, nuts and anything else she could find in her fridge. Hah so much for our grocerys we had bought. Were still working on eating through it all. 

With all our actual investigators we really focused on reading the Book of Mormon. All we really do as missionaries is ask people to read and find out if this message is true for themselves. Our call is not to Bible bash and convince like the Jehovas but rather to show people how to find out for themselves and show them the happiness they will feel if they do. I hope and pray you will all take advantage of the Book of Mormon and the knowledge that you have that no matter what is happening in your life you can always find peace and feel Gods love as you read from it. I know it is true. It is the reason Im in Hungary and Im so grateful for it. It has helped me in the hardest of times and made my life so much more enjoyable in the easiest of times.

I love you all
