miracles, miracles, miracles

I felt like I should do a cliché missionary subject title since I learned how to say/spell cliché in Hungarian which is quite the accomplishment since Im still pretty sure I just spelled it wrong twice in English woohoo.

GREAT NEWS Balázs in Pápa picked a baptisimal date that went through, passed his baptisimal interview on friday, and will be baptized on the 28th of January!

Later this week we were visiting the Branch President's family and Szerdi Elder asked what it would take for the Szeged Branch to become a ward and the branch president went on a rant about all the YSA that aren't even dating. We left with the assignment to find 5 husbands and 4 wives for branch members. This is only part of the YSA we have in our branch. I feel it'd be easier if they all just married each other and then Sam just come and marry the gluten free member. But when I suggested that to one of the YSA they weren't as pleased with my plan as I was.

Miracles:

In English Class as we were playing Word Chain we had a weirdly nice moment when Rose (a diligent attendee of English class) yelled out SNOW FALLING COLD! So we turned off the lights and looked at the beautiful snow in silence for almost a whole minute till it was unfortunately interrupted by Janos probably asking for the definition in English of anti bacterial-fungus. This is Angol Óra.

Yesterday after ward council we had about 40 minutes to tract before we were supposed to break our fasts before our lessson with Csaba. So for some reason we started walking to a place we hadn't gone to yet and after 15 minutes of walking/riding the bus we arrived at a little 5 story apartment complex.

We tracted the first third of the the building and no one was interested. We started on the second third and were let in by the first person we rang. We walked up the flights of stairs excited to share our message, knocked, and were told it was a bad time. We walked down to the fourth floor and knocked on a door. Andi a 21-year old, who had clearly recently been crying, answered the door. As I told her we were missionaries from Christ's church she started to cry and interrupted me saying, "I don't believe it. I can't believe it. How did you get in? How did you know!" at least 4 times through. She told us how she had been pleading with God to help her know which church to go to so she could find peace in her life. She invited us in before we even brought up the fact that we brought a message, moved the Bible off her couch, listened to the restoration, read from the Book of Mormon with us, asked great questions, and ended the lesson with a prayer that we wouldn't go sterile out in the cold because that is every Hungarians biggest nightmare. 

As we left she still couldn't believe it but promised she'd pray and read from the Book of Mormon before friday when we meet with her again.

Seek with all your heart, might, and mind to grow closer, recognize easier, and follow faster the promptings of the Spirit. Through heeding those promptings we will feel the love of God in our everyday lives.

 61 Therefore it is given to abide in you; the record of heaven; the Comforter; the peaceable things of immortal glory; the truth of all things; that which quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things; that which knoweth all things, and hath all power according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment.

Sok Szeretettel.
