It was a good week in the city of Pápa!


So as the title says, it was a good week this past week!  It was able to rain a lot this past week which is totally fine by me, it really cooled things down which was really awesome.  We were able to work despite the rain and the Lord honored us for it!  



So with regards to Rómeó, we have good news and bad news as well.  The good news is that we were able to meet with him.  He is doing really well, just a bit overwhelmed with his deployment to Afghanistan coming up. He told us in our meeting that he still had the goal of getting baptized before he went out, which he originally thought was going to be late July or August.  He called us, however, on Friday night and informed us that he is actually going to be heading out this Friday.  We were pretty bummed but we know that he is going to be baptized, just going to have to wait until he comes back from his trip.  



We were able to have 4 investigators in church which was really awesome to see.  We were able to have our investigator family there.  It looked as though they enjoyed it, they just stayed for sacrament meeting, and the best part was that the members were able to fellowship them.  We will be visiting with them on Tuesday.  We were able to have another investigator there who is a very nice older woman that we have now met with twice.  She really seemed to enjoy it, and we met with her the day before with the branch president, President Bauer. He was also Catholic and was a big help in the lesson.  We were also able to have another of our investigators there with his mom who is a member. We met with them yesterday night and were able to speak about the Book of Mormon, we also read with them from 1 Nephi as they had not really been able to read much.  In church, I translated for a senior missionary named Elder Ommen, as he gave his talk in sacrament meeting.  After church, we had two other senior missionaries there who had a presentation on the new audit system for the church.  I was able to translate in that meeting as well, the gift of tongues is real!  



We were able to find 2 new investigators this past week.  One is named TODD!!  I KNOW RIGHT! Our meeting with him was really great, we were able get let into his home on a rainy night.  He works for the US military here in Hungary and lives here with his girl friend.  We also met with Éva, the girlfriend of our investigator János.  We spoke of the plan of Salvation and she told us that from the time we started meeting with János, there is a different feeling in their home, we testified it was the spirit, who leads us to find the truth! 



We also were able to meet with our investigators Ferenc and Vere, they don't really want to meet anymore though, and we also were able to meet with our investigator Zsuzsi and her son Dávid, our branch president also helped us with those.  The spirit was so strong in the 1st meeting with Zsuszi as we spoke about the 1st vision.  They were not able to come to church but we hope this week they will come.



This work is amazing the Lord is honoring us daily! I love this work and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ.
