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,
