It was a solid week! Post from June 11

Hello my absolutely amazing family.  As the title of the email says, it was a pretty good week!  We were able to have Zone Conference this past week, which was really spectacular!  We were able speak about how to work with the members and how to get them more involved in missionary work.  We were also able to speak about unity and president did a really amazing job speaking about that, he spoke about how if we are successful in living the gospel, then naturally we will develop skills that help us with worldly pursuits as well.  We also spoke about one of my favorite topics, that being obedience, and how obedience brings so many blessings! I was also able to give my departing testimony and hear the Szabadkais give theirs as well! 

With regards to Rómeó, he had to travel this week to Germany which means that we are having to postpone his baptism.  He is going to be a great member, I really know that, it is just going to have to be a bit more in the future.  We were able to run into him on the street yesterday and it was good to be able to catch up.  

We were able to find 4 new investigators this past week!  On Monday night, we were able to tract into this man named János.  He is not incredibly religious but he really has tried to do what is good but has felt like he has only gotten bad in return.  We were able to testify of the Plan of Salvation and that according to this plan, we can obtain perspective and every thing that happens can be for our gain.  We testified that this was the joy he was looking for and that this would bring him happiness.  We returned and met with his mom who was also interested in hearing more, it seems like they have potential.  We also tracted into a man named József and his girl friend Kati.  We testified of the Restoration and how truth had been brought back to the earth again.  They seemed to really like it, we are going to be returning tomorrow.  

We were able to speak about the Plan of Salvation with our investigators named Endre, Anna, and András.  The Lessons went well, however, none of them were able to come to church.  We were able to have our investigator Tamás in church.  He is 14 and is from a part member family, he has not been to church for 3 months up to this point.  We felt as prompting to stop by their home and we spoke about the Restoration with him, went really well.   

The Lord is honoring us so much, I love this work and I love my Savior, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  Love you all so much and have a great week!
