Anyukám és családom,
Yeah!!! Trevor is getting
married!!! Is Jill's dad intimidating? All I can think of Georgians is they are
alligator wrestlers or something. That intimidates me...
Families truly are a great
thing, in fact I will hopefully be teaching an entire family pretty soon here.
I am really excited. It will be a referral from one of our recent converts. His
sisters family he feels is ready for the gospel, and he wants our help. We said
of course obviously. By the way I think you should all make a goal to help
somebody join the church this year. I know it will be a little harder, but if
every member, or at least every member family chose to do this, it would really
help God's work. Just a reminder, there is never a good excuse to not do God's
work.
New Year's eve was pretty
awesome. We had ward party on that day which was a blast. Our investigator came
to that, and then to church for her very first time. We were pretty happy about
it. She is progressing really well. There is a picture of the youth
here in Györ and our investigators.
Saturday was probably the most interesting day. Don't judge
me though. On Friday I went with Elder Headrick (an AP) on splits to Buda.
There we did a ton of tracting which was really successful. We had a lot of fun
and a lady even gave us chocolate. On Saturday we split back and I went back
with Elder Smith to Györ. I remembered the chocolate that the lady gave to us.
I shared it with Elder Smith and we both thought it was weird but alright.
Later that day I would find out from Elder Headrick that the chocolate had alcohol in it (WE
DIDN'T KNOW). Because Elder Smith and I so graciously broke the Word of Wisdom,
our day absolutely fell apart. . . .
[Justin had a series of crazy events involving chocolate candy, car accidents and renters. He'll tell you all about it someday!]
We then had sport nap and when I kicked a ball it totally whiffed and it soared over the fence in which I hit an old grandma in the back. She was furious and then sent her other minion grandma who also got mad, and they were trying to threaten us and things. We of course said sorry and everything (and I felt terrible). After that our investigator called and begged to meet, but we told him we can't meet at his house, so we met him at the Branch house. There we found him smoking in the building. We sent him out for a little. . .
I was very grateful that the next day I was able to partake of the sacrament and start this week new again. I am truly grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to not only teach, but to be taught. Last week was overall amazing, and I am having a wonderful time.
