Anyukám és Családom,
Back on Christmas eve we had a
little bit of time when we had to work. We racked our brains, and then we
remembered an idea that has been done before called hot chocolate tabling. So
all 6 of us from our city went and tried to spread the gospel through hot
chocolate. It actually worked out. One fella who talked to us said we could
meet in January. It is now January, so we called him up and met. The guy has
already been waiting for a visszaállítás (restoration), so we put him on bap
date for March 15th, and he is pretty stoked for it. We thought it to be a
great blessing to find him. We pray a lot for him.
I had my first Missionary
Leadership counsel last week. It was a 5 or 6 hour long meeting where we talked
about everything for the mission. It was actually quite amazing to see how one
side of the church works, but the biggest thing that came out of it is our new
baptism goal. Our mission has been struggling on getting baptisms for a long
time. Two years ago we only got 104 in a year, last year we really tried to
step up the game and it shot up to 170ish. This year we really feel God is
trying to speed up the work here in Hungary, so we have moved the bap goal to
234 baptisms. We are hoping for miracles here in Hungary.
We had another cool experience
with our investigator, the girl who will be baptized. We have moved her date to
February 1st by the way. This last week she had a really hard test coming up
for college. She is in the last year, and she is way stressed about everything.
Last week we decided to teach her more about Authority and the Priesthood.
Afterward we told her it was possible to get blessings. She immediately asked
if we could give her one for her test, so we gave her one. This last time we
met with her, she said that she feels that God really blessed her for the test.
She got tested on all the topics she knew the best, and passed the test in
which she thought would be impossible. She really has found her testimony
through God. We teach her every time she has a question to ask God. Always ask God. He gives the truth. Us people mess up a lot, and are not perfect. Always
talk to the perfect one is my advice for the week.
With loves
