Happy Birthday mom! I love you so much!! It was
a really great week this past week and I was able to hit my 1 year mark in the
country (time is going by so fast).
It was a great week here in Buda as we were able to meet with
many of our investigators and were able to do a lot of good finding. We were
able to meet with our Ukrainian friend only one time, however, he is doing absolutely amazing.
There is a member in Buda that is actually from Ukraine and she is being an
amazing fellowshipper to him. They were actually able to go down to the
Balaton together this past week and were able to have a good discussion there
about the Book of Mormon. He told us that every single day he is reading from
the Book of Mormon and feels so amazing as he is reading from it. He told us
that he feels the hand of God guiding him on his paths from day to day and that
he does not want this feeling to go away. He told us that he knows the Book of
Mormon is the word of God because he feels that his connection to God has grown
so much stronger as he has been reading it (one day he was up at 4:30 in the
morning reading it). He has a little bit of trouble with fully accepting
and understanding the word of wisdom and the reason behind it. I told him
that it was like in the karate kid when he needs to go wax on and wax
off. He did not fully understand but he put his trust in Mr. Miagi (like
we put our trust in Christ) and he saw the results. We receive no witness
until after the trial of our faith. He told us the other day, he had the
thought to send the scripture Helaman 5:12 to his friend who is going through a
rough time because he knew that it would help him. He was able to come to
church this past week (he went to Pest) and he said that it went really well
(he just sometimes has a hard time following what is going on in the sunday
school class). Overall he is doing really well and I have the faith that
eventually he is going to enter the waters of baptism.
We were able to start meeting again with a former investigator. He is 18 years old and is from Romania. He is really looking for direction in his life and really likes peace and love. He does not have a super deep knowledge about Jesus Christ and his life, so we were able to have a teaching about that. We taught him about the Savior's life and that through the Atonement we can reach perfection after all that we can do. He seems very interested to keep on learning about these things and we are going back to his home today. We were also able to get a let-in to a young mother and her baby boy (another little boy came later and we are not sure if that is her little brother or her son). We were able to talk about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon, and we were able to set up a return appointment, however, she had to cancel. We are hoping to be able to meet this upcoming week. We were also able to meet with a lot of people that we had not met with yet this transfer. They seem to be doing well, however, some are not committed as we thought that they were. We were also able to meet with another of our investigators this past week and he is doing well. He does not really understand tithing and does not believe that it is a law from God, however, we are going to keep on teaching about modern day revelation and hopefully he can come to find the truth of it for himself.

This upcoming week we are going to be able to have a meet the
Mormons open night and hopefully that goes well. It will be on
Thursday and hopefully a lot of people will be able to make it out to
it. That’s awesome that you mentioned your friend
that is 72 that converted. In the city of Miskolc, they have a 78 year-old
investigator that just asked the missionaries to be baptized and in the city of
Eger they have 2 ladies that are each 72 who are on date. Oh and this
75 year old lady with a great grandkid just got baptized in Dunaújváros (I gave
her the baptism interview).
Sorry that this email is a bit shorter but I will include
more next week. I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!!
