We went back to Gyor

It was a really great week for us!  As the title of the email says we were able to go out west to the wonderful city of Győr this week!  I was able to work with Elder Martin who plays the piano super super well and is from the state of Missouri!  I was not able to meet with Roli which I was kind of sad about, however, we were able to have a really good lesson with one of my old investigators who is really approaching baptism.  We spoke about how if he wants to gain a testimony of the existence of a God then he needs to read the Book of Mormon which will get a man nearer to God than by any other book.  

We were also able to hold a daily exchange here in Budapest this week!  I was able to work with Elder Graham from the good ol' Colorado Springs.  He is a really humble, hard-working missionary that is a really good example to me.  We were tracting in a 10 story building and we were approaching the end.  We had talked to one really cool guy but other than him had not really found a lot of super solid people.  As we were approaching the end, I had a weird feeling, almost like the devil was trying to throw me off my game.  We stopped said a prayer and on the very next door got a let in to a really nice woman that became a new investigator.  We truly receive no witness until after the trial of our faith! 

We were able to meet with another of our investigators a couple times this past week.  He is a thinker and is a really smart kid. We spoke a lot about the Restoration and he came to church for the second time in a row this week and loved it.  It looks like our baptismal commit is still good for the 3rd of February as her bap date.  She was not able to attend church yesterday, however, in our lesson this week she sounded still good for it.  We met with another family yesterday and they were able to make me a birthday cake.  I did not tell many people it was my birthday a month ago, but they found out and wanted to celebrate!  Our other investigators are also doing well.

I love you all so much, have a great week!

So this week week we were able to go to the great city of Dunaújváros!  I was able to work with Elder Lister who is actually from Fort Collins, Colorado! We were able to do some really great work together and were able to find like 12 potential investigators and got let in to a nice couple while we were tracting. 

 After that exchange we were able to come back to Buda and were able to go on an exchange with the office elders.  I was able to serve with Elder Katics, he is from Hungary! We were able to have 3 really great teachings and then we did a look up and met with our investigator from Romania.  With one of our investigators Elder Katics shared a super powerful conversion story, he was baptized when he was 13 (the only member in his family) and how after he found the church his life just got better.  I felt the Spirit so strong and it was really good.  We met with him again on Saturday and invited him to church.  He came and really loved it! 

We also were able to tract into a 100 year old women this past week.  She looked great for her age and she happily gave us a tour of her apartment.  We also met with a man named Jai Yoo this week from China.  He wants to come to find God and we taught him the Plan of Salvation, he really loved it!  Another of our investigators were on vacation and attended church  #dedication.  It was a great week and we are seeing miracles every day.  It is so fun serving with elder Lowe and it is great to be a missionary in Buda.  This gospel is true and God directs this work! 

Love you all so much,
