First, spiritual though! Alma and the sons of mosiah, alma stayed in nephi land and got put in prison and escaped with the power of God destroying the prison. Sons of Mosiah, went to Lamanite land. Many of the sons of mosiah were stuck in prison but were saved by Ammon with king lamoni. Whats the difference? Is Almas story better or more miracle related because God caused the prison to crumble? No. With the sons of Mosiah there was no prison crashing, but think about all the miracles that happened so that Ammon and Lamoni would free them, theres tons of them. Sometimes in life we are blessed by God in ways that can be seen as natural, but are instead great miracles.
Who to talk about first? Máté. Hadnt met with him in a few weeks, actually since talking to him about baptism. Well we met and it was an awesome program, we really talked about him and where he is at, what he believes, and what he can do to get the faith that he sees in the members of the branch here. It was great.
Party! We are planning a huge branch party, a Mexican night, with games and burritos and all that good stuff. Expecting tons of non members, itll be awesome, itll be this week.
Hajdu Zoltan. His kids were sick with chicken pox, but we met at his "garden" a small piece of land they own they bought because they live in an appartment like most people. Anyways he said he has seen how the gosple is a blessing in his life and that he wasnt to see it bless his families life, that he wasnts his kids to grow up living according to the gospel.
Ill talk about our english class a bit. There are 3 levels, beginner, intermed, and pro. I teach the intermed. class right now with another missionary. For this calss we start with a few questions to get the class talking and practicing english, many people arent too bad but just shy about using the enlish they know. After that we teach a more challengig, advanced grammar principe, sometimes we have time for a game and we always close with a like 5 min spiritual though. I taught beg. in Eger and Szolnok and for that there is a 10 week program that goes through basic English grammar very well in 10 weeks, in pro its just chatting in english pretty much so fluent people can practice with native speakers.
I also had a really cool experience this week that again showed me how much our Heavenly Father really does hear our prayers and does help us and answer them.
Sorry its shorter but Mom and Dad come first, have a great week everyone! Much love to you all, I think of you often and pray for you.
