Week 11: Boldog Mindszentek!!!

Boldog Halloween!

I apologize for the late emails. Hungary had it's famous holiday "All Saints day" so we we did a lot of finding that past couple of days because people were home. Basically all Saints Day is the day after Halloween where people celebrate their ancestory at the graves. Unfortunately because of the holiday, a lot of the people we wanted to meet with didn't answer their phones or called us back so we will see how this week goes.

We did have zone conference on Wednesday so we got to go up to Budapest which is always fun! And on Sunday we had District meeting in Miskolc with all the branches in the eastern part of Hungary! It was super cool because Elder Saban, a councelor in the Area Seventy over Europe, came and spoke to us!

I loved his talk because he talked a lot about our identity as children of God! He talked about four aspects to always remember: You are a son/daughter of God, you are a disciple of Christ, you are a healer of souls, and you are an Heir of eternal life! What great truth!

This past week was hard in terms of our finding efforts but once again I did see the value of working hard! We had splits yesterday. While we were tracting on Monday night which was Halloween we ran into an old investigator who met with the missionaries in 2010! We gave a lesson that night despite the power going out twice during our lesson so we had to teach by candlelight which was really cool! We met with him again yesterday and are meeting with him tomorrow!

On P-day we got to go to Hortobagy so we could get my comp, Elder Smith, a whip. We got to whip in Pros which was fun.

I hope you all had a Boldog Halloween and I will talk to ya'll on Monday!
