This is going good!

családom meg anyukám,

It's good to hear you actually know the elders in the ward now. I wish I would've helped more in that. Here in Hungary the branches still really depend on the missionaries, so we are still pretty much in the lives of the members. That is because everyone here are converts. The oldest person who was born in the church here is 19, and is actually on a mission right now here. Cool right?

Thank you for praying for Dávid, he needs it. He got really sick last week, he had a temperature at about 104. Because of that we weren't really able to teach him. His bap date is now on March 9th. Honestly the family chose that, and they feel it would be better. The date is not changing again, according to them, and I believe them, so it will be happening. Dávid also asked me if I would baptize him. It was his choice, so I will be baptizing him. Crazy right?

Don't worry about me and running too fast, it is needed. Hunnicutt and I are trying to set an example for the mission in terms of finding. Basically nobody did it, because nobody believes it works with Hungarians. Well, this week we will prove that wrong. We have had the most hours for the last 4 weeks in finding, and now this week we have 12 programs planned, and we are planning on putting someone on bap date named Miklos. We have found a lot of people, and now they are meeting with us. God is blessing us for our efforts and our desires. . . I am trying to help change the mission, and it is changing. We have a goal of 200 baptisms this year, and we already have 50 bap dates for the year, and it is just barely February. God is blessing Hungary, and it will be exploding soon. I am grateful to be here, and I now I will be able to perform miracles here, and I will see many. I am super excited for this week. God is giving me strength every day. I never wake up late, and I am always able to get out the door. I do have P-day, but I am God's representitive, and I am going to work for him. When Christ comes is dependent on how fast this work is done, and I am planning to move it forward the best I can.

This last week was once again a grunt week, but it has caused for us to have quite a few programs this week. This is going good!

There is one thing I want to point out. When I street, I ask a lot of people the question, "What is the purpose of life?" I have not had anyone answer that. No one knows. Be grateful for a religion that teaches that! We gain so much from the gospel of Christ, and how wonderful it is to understand life, and not have to worry. We can always hope for the future. Most people don't even think about the future.

Good luck on this week, I am always praying for you all.

sok szeretettel
