Hivatalos hegyek - official mountains


So we're already entering into the final week of another transfer, it's pretty crazy to think about, but next time I email, I'll probably be getting a new companion already (possibly even a new city). President Szabadkai didn't give me any hints in my interview so I guess I still have another week or so before I know if I'll leave the big city at any point in time haha.

  This week was pretty good. We started off with interviews on monday, which were pretty normal, I didn't get any new crazy information or anything, so I don't know whether I should be excited or terrified for the upcoming transfer, but I guess we'll just see what happens.
  We spent a bunch of time this week getting a whole bunch of stuff ready for our residency cards, it's kind of ridiculous how much paper work and stuff we have to do to be able to stay in this country, but we do what has to be done. So we have been getting a bunch of forms and stuff and photocopying heaps of stuff this week which has been fun, but only to prepare us to going to the big scary government building this week, which should be super fun.
  We were able to find some super cool areas while we were out tracting in the cold this week. It's always a nice tender mercy when you get a pretty view of the city after you finish a long street of houses. We had a cool tracting miracle this week though, a man let us in to the building and we went up to the top. The first door we rang a man came out and we bore testimony of the book of mormon to him, he said he wasn't religious but if the book has really helped us in our lives then he would leave to read from it. The next floor down we were able to talk to a woman, who after talking for a while about her beliefs regarding the Bible and prophets, allowed us to share about the Book of Mormon and how we have a living prophet today. She loved everything that we shared with her, especially the promise in Moroni 10, and said she would love to learn more about us and attend church some time.
  Other than that, we met with a guy who was super drunk during our teaching, so we'll see where that one goes in the future I guess. Our zone was also able to meet our zone challenge last week (an average of 7 tracting days and 2 member presents each week per companionship over 4 weeks), so we get to have a zone day on wednesday, where we get to watch a disney movie, have lunch and hang out as a zone, so it should be pretty fun. It also got really cold this week, which means sweaters and coats made a come back, looking forward to that Hungarian winter!

Hope you all have great weeks.

Viszont!
