March 23, 2015



Hi, everyone!

Another busy day, it seems like it's just never going to stop! That's a very good problem to have, though, we're totally okay with that. :)

This week, we've been very blessed to be able to visit with so many kind people. I keep being impressed first by how little some people have, and then secondly by how much they are so willing to give to a stranger on the street.

One of the members of the branch here, Margit, is an old lady living with just her sister in a big, old, run down house that used to be her parents'. We went to go visit her the other day with the sister missionaries, and she had made us a beautiful meal with deli meats from the market and fresh-made bread and butter, and she insisted that we bring home all of the leftovers with us so that we wouldn't be hungry, even though we assured her that we have plenty of food. She then proceeded to give us lots of little Easter candies and trinkets so that we would have the closest thing to an Easter at home as possible. Even though it's a few weeks early, this Easter has already been awesome because of how kind this little old neni was to us. We went back today to bring her some flowers to thank her for how kind she was to us, and she was ecstatic that someone had thought of her and taken the time to bring her a gift. Truly Christlike.

Each of our friends here that we teach are also very kind to us. Many love to come to church because it helps them feel peace in their heart, and they genuinely just see the sincere happiness that Elder Gonzalez and I have, and they want to be like that. There's a fresh start for everyone who wants one. Whether we help people get to that fresh, new start by helping them learn English, Spanish, or French, by helping them fix family relationships, or by helping them fix their relationships with themselves, we all together become very good friends, like a family here in Hungary.

I miss you all and love you lots! Looking forward to keep hearing from you next week, y'all be good and do something to make the world a better place! :)






Here's Margit with Gonzalez and the Sisters in Nyiregyhaza!













Margit Neni, an old lady in our branch, gave us
some little "Farsang" masks, basically like a mix
of Groundhog's Day and Halloween. Super nice lady.












So one of our investigators is a traditional Hungarian
 suit maker in a little artisan crafts shop,
 and she made us some sweet
Hungarian suits! Pretty cool stuff!:)











Zone Conferences were held in Budapest on
March 11, 12 and 13. Elder Kearon, first counselor
in the Europe Area Presidency, presided at the
Conferences. Elder Kearon presented wonderful
 messages to us. We were inspired and motivated.
