This week was great!!! Some moments:
Sister Johnson and I actually went on splits with Christensen ELDER this past Tuesday. As a zone leader, he is allowed to go on splits with a sister companionship, and we had to do it this past Tuesday because Schwieger Elder was starting his assistant to the president duties a day earlier than Christensen Elder was getting his new companion. So we became his companions for the day, which was made funnier by the fact it was Valentine's Day :P We had a really great day, though. We had a few programs set up and Christensen Elder really helped us with our investigators. It was really great to teach with him, actually, because he is way more experienced in the teaching and the language. He asked a lot of really good questions that made our investigators really consider the importance of our message. It was really nice to teach with someone experienced again, I have to admit. We also had a program at the Westsik's. They thought the three of us were super funny and insisted that we take a picture (see attached haha). We had split inventory at the end of the day, and he told us that we are both doing great with the language and teaching (which was nice to hear. Sometimes I think we are a little hard on ourselves). He challenged us to be more bold in our programs :)
We had an awesome program with a girl named Timi this past week. She is so prepared. We have only met with her a couple of times, but she has been reading from the Book of Mormon and told us last time that she believes that it is true scripture from God! We talked a little bit about baptism with her and hope to give her a baptism date this week sometime!
We had a cute néni teach us Hungarian embroidery this past week. She was so cute, showing us how to do every stitch. And even how to seperate the embroidery floss haha. She also fed us shortbread cookies and peach jam. Yum. This lady is so sweet and honestly interested in learning more about the gospel. She has come to Sacrament meeting a few times and had a lot of questions!
Sister Johnson and I gave the spirtual thought at Gofri Est this past Friday. We were only asked a couple of days before and tried to come up with a good idea. We decided to share a thought from "It is Better to Look Up". (It is a great talk- you should check it out!) It talks about how we should look to God for our goals and relief. There is one story about how a bunch of people wrote things that were weighing them down on pieces of paper and then tied them to balloons and let the balloons go. So, we gave everyone a balloon with the Hungarian translation of "It is better to look up" on it. We also put a picture of Christ on the ceiling and talked about how we can look to Christ and His Atonement for relief. It went really well, I think. The crazy thing is, we were kind of nervous. And then we got there, and there were more than THIRTY people there!!! (There are often only about TEN!) There were institute teachers from all over Hungary and Romania here for a training (I actually met some people that knew some of my friends who had served in Romania!). The large amounts of people didn't really help our nervousness :P But it went really well :) A lot of people participated and it was great :)
Anyways, we had a lot of great programs this week! I think Sister Johnson and I are really getting the hang of this missionary thing :P We were very close to getting Super Standard this past week, and we have a goal to try and get Super Standard every day this week!!! I think all of our hard work last transfer is paying off this transfer :) We have a lot of really cool investigators! I will keep you all updated!
I love you all!!! Have a great day and week!!!
Love,
