So one thing I did this conference was try to get revelation for a specific talk to refer to each of my siblings and parents. So im gonna try to email each of you so this might be shorter, Im also a bit crunched on time today sorry.
Anyways awesome week. Wow, is Szeged gorgeous. So many flowers and such. Our focus of the week for me and E. Giacalone was member presents. We had a bunch last week. Wow there are so many awesome members here.
Im gonna tell you all about some of them.
Dio. Super cool, gives us free hair cuts, super good hair cutter, owns a hair shop, Ive totally forgotten what those are called in english. Anyways, both her parents are out of the picture, alcoholics. Converted and has no family in her life, served a mission in Finland, has stomach problems but is super happy and loves how the gospel helps us be happy, super strong testimony and helped us talk to Atti about baptism in our last lesson with him. Super awesome. Super funny, when she very first started investigating she somehow got ahold of a Sunday School manual. she got a friend and together drank a keg of beer while reading the manual to learn more about the church. Well, shes changed a lot. Says this is a new life.
Eveline. Went to a program with Ákos, super awesome help. She had to change a lot in her life in order to become a member too. Not going to go into details but she had a huge difficulty, its incredible what these people have done to change their lives, and how much happier they are for it. How much they dont regret it at all.
Szücs Elnök (branch president): Branch president is a 27 year old single guy. HEY EVERYBODY, go read April 2013 Ensign or Liahona. Or search "Hungary Szeged" at lds.org. There is an article about him in there. Youll read it and be amazed, its totally true. He is one of the most amazing people I have met, very, very humble. He never talks about Kiayaking, ever. He is a great example.
Viki: Potentially the nicest person in the world. Not kidding. Great help with Bernadette.
Toth Zoltán: Potentially the perfect YM president. Also single and like 30, but dating someone investigating with a bap date. Just great, great man, knows how talk to other people. We took him to a really challenging program and he was just awesome, didnt even skip a beat.
Ok, Mom said she wants an update on Abraham and Bernadette, so heres some info on investigators:
Abraham. The American guy at med school. actually has tests every day this week so were not meeting this week, but called him yesterday to say hi and wish him best on his tests. He appreciated the call and said the night before he hadnt gone to sleep studying, intense.
Bernadette: Super awesome lesson. It had actually be a rougher day and the lessons just really brought the Spirit. we were teaching teh Restoration with Viki. It was really nice, I know I appreaciated the lesson, I hope she did too. Were going to teach her again in a few minutes!
Spencer: The other American, I think it went really well, we talked about BOM and prayer answered some questions.
running short on time. We table alot at the széchény tér, a gorgeous square with Tons of flowers and statues and just awesome, I love it, tons of people but not too many. i love Szeged.
Well Im emailing all of you siblings the talk I thought of for you. But another quick one, check out Alma 30. I believe that God exists and that Christ is our Savior, I get to see its true everyday, and feel it when I pray and here from the prophet.
My love from Szeged, keep it up!
Sok szeretettel!
