We got a QUAD!

Üdvözlöm titeket a heti emailnek!

So as seems to be the usual with these emails, this week was just full of curveballs.

  So we started by getting just our first new comp for the week, my good friend Elder Murphy from the MTC. We had a cool experience that night though where Elder Murphy and I had to go out tracting together because Elder Winkel went on splits with the zone leaders, so we had two missionaries who had only come into the country a bit over three months ago trying to speak the very little Hungarian that we have to share a message about the gospel. But by some miracle a man let us in, and then told us that he was just studying about Christianity and that he had seen us walking around before and wondered when we would come knock on his door. So I had to share a message about the Book of Mormon with him and he loved it, took a book and said that we could come back. Super scary but super sweet experience.

  Tuesday we received a fourth member to our companionship, but we got to head over to the parliament building to pick him up, so that was super sweet. If anyone tried to blame us for anything or saying that something couldn't happen this week we've pretty much just been responding with "We got a QUAD!", it was pretty crazy. Then after we dropped him back off there later in the day, we went in our trio to Hero Square to try and talk to people. The only issue was that nobody that we tried to talk to spoke English or Hungarian, so not very successful but still good fun.

  Wednesday was really cool, we got to meet with our investigator Dávid as a trio and just discussed callings with him, he's really pumped to be able to help out the church when he gets baptised, he's so solid. Then we had international night and I got a bunch of Hungarians to try Vegemite, strangely enough none of them actually hated it and one of them even loved it, it was way different from when all the Americans tried it.

  Thursday, our lovely three days of being in a trio/quad came to end with a very complicated drop off of our friend Elder Murphy to his new companion. But it was pretty cool because we got to go over to the Keleti train station, which is a super cool station. Unfortunately though that day just decided to start having a huge storm and so we all got completely soaked on our way over there, but it was still way fun.

  Friday we got to have a movie night with the ward where we watched the movie Legacy about the pioneers. Fun time and our investigator loved it so it was pretty good all round.

  Saturday we found out that the member that we had set up to come with us to both of our teachings that day actually dogged us to go fishing in some tiny little city that's like 2 and a half hours away, so that didn't help our programs but the one that we still did went really well and we had district meeting that day so it was still a pretty good day all round.

  Sunday was just a classic missionary sunday, we taught sunday school, talked to a bunch of people and then we went and visited a family and had a solid lesson with them, so it was still a good day all round.

Well missionary life is crazy, hope you all also have interesting weeks.
