Családom és Anyukám,
Wow, your lives keep on changing a ton. I am still here, doing the same thing
everyday. It's great, but the same thing.
So a few announcments before I get to my life.
1- This is the most boring transfer for me. Ábrók and I are staying. ennyi. So
nothing interesting.
2- Email policy has changed, I think world wide. Anyone can email with me, as
long it is not a girl within my mission boundaries. That is not a problem, so
anyone that wants to keep better touch with me, tell them they can email me
anytime they want. Really, no restrictions!
3- They asked us to talk to our parents about the blogs. I don't think you are
breaking any rules, but I will tell you because I am a good boy. Just make sure
there is no personal information about people on there, in regards to names and
stuff. I try not to tell you all too much, but, yeah, just be careful.
Cool, now to the cool stuff.
Last week I was able to go on splits with my district leader named Elder
Forsythe. It was good, but what I wanted to highlight was someone I was able to
help teach. We taught to a young girl who was 8, and she reminded me a lot with
having to deal with [the little boy next door]. She was super cute, and super smart. She just
got baptized last week, but I was super happy to actually associate with a
little kid. That may sound funny, but you really don't deal with kids on your
mission, outside of these situations because of all the legal stuff that
surrounds them.
Yesterday was super cool. We did a ton of finding, and we got three programs
off of it. One of them was with these kid while we were tracting a ten story.
We knocked on the door, asked him a question, he said something jerkish, and
then shut the door on us. So how did we get a program with him? Well, as we
were tracting some floors below his door, he decided to use the stairs to go
down 6 floors, instead of using the elevator. Who knows why he did that, right?
Well, as he walked past us, he turned around and asked us, "why did you
ask me that question? Who are you exactly?" So we answered and proceded to
teach him about the Plan of Salvation. Now he doesn't really want to meet with
us after this, but it was super cool to see the spirit trouble a kids heart
enough to have the desire to find the answer. It was a lot of fun.
While meeting with the ______ they could not believe that I had never tried
majkrém (liver cream). It is exactly what it sounds like. For some reason
Hungarians here worship majkrém. They absolutely love it. So yes, they had me
eat some. I ate two big pieces of bread, with this liver spread on it. It
actually wasn't that bad; it was like bad tuna fish. So I ate it with no
problems, but I wouldn't recommend it too much.
To end my letter on a spiritual note, in my midst of studying about Christ a
question came into my mind, "How is it that people like Josph Smith, and
Jesus Christ, stay so happy although they had some of the most worst lives in
history. So i spent about an hour figuring this out from the scriptures. I
found my answer, and it has helped me to stay very happy, because you all know
I like to worry about things, but since this moment, I have barely worried
about anything. My answer was simple. Trust in God. Don't worry about it, just
trust in God. From that momnet, I decided just to trust God, and I have stopped
worrying all that much about stuff. Wonderful right? How easy it is to find
happiness? Just like that. Happiness is a choice, so I choose to be happy.
I'm loving life, loving the work, and loving God.
Love you all
