Hello there family and friends,
I hope all of you had a great
Christmas and are getting ready to have a Happy New Year! Our Christmas wasn't as
eventful as we wish it could have been. Everything was closed and everybody was
busy so we just chilled with the other elders the entire day playing games and
just getting ready to go Skype our families. We did find a pizza place that was
open, which we found to be SUPER delicious. It was a Christmas miracle in our
eyes. We also went up to where Granddad's house was and we took some pictures
from on top of the hill because it's got such a nice view of the city. Then the
time came to go Skype our families and Elder Becker and I went to one families
house while the others went to another. The member family that let us use their
computer is SOOO awesome. There are 5 of them in their family, just like us!
Except they are all girls and the oldest is in England for work and she
couldn't come back for Christmas. The middle child is way cool though. She is
18 and probably one of the branch's strongest members. She sort of reminds me
of Ashleigh in a way, just because she is the middle child, kind of Ashleigh's
age and she has similar interests as Ashleigh. She speaks really good English,
maybe you guys could be Facebook buddies. Ha ha, but they are all really cool and I told
them how grateful I was to use their computer. They also fed us some really
good food! They had this fish soup that was SUPER spicy, which I loved, and
noodles and other things that were just super delicious. Then we headed back
home and turned in for the day. But talking with all of you was the greatest
gift a missionary could ask for. I'm sorry that you lost all of the feed of us
chatting. That's a real bummer. But just think, it's only under 5 months till
we get to Skype again! Stayin positive, right? Ha ha, well, at least
trying.
So, some things that happened this
week, which wasn't too much because no one was at their homes this week. It's
like everybody disappeared. We all thought that they would all just be at their
homes with their families and we would be able to talk to them by tracting, but
not many people were ate home either. It's like they disappear on the holidays
and then magically reappear afterwards. But we were able to tract and we got a
few let ins and one of them we were able to set up with this week! It was a
woman and her daughter and they really enjoyed our message. Hopefully it turns
into something. We are continually praying to find people. Funny thing,
actually, each day we have prayed to find at least one person that the Lord
wants us to find and I have realized with our work this past week that we have
found that one person every day. We have continually had faith as we worked,
looking for that one person that we are meant to find. I know that this is truly
a miracle and that our prayers are being answered.
We were able to visit some members
this week and have lunch or dinner with them. One of them we visited has a son
who had just gotten this remote control helicopter for Christmas and he wanted
us to try it out with him. Elder Becker was getting the hang of it a little and
then he had me try. Well, I tried and got it stuck in a tree.....Luckily we
were able to get it out. Ha ha, but it was just so funny to see this helicopter
go straight into a tree and get stuck. In my defense, the controls were really
wonky and wouldn't respond very well. But they just say that I was a bad pilot.
My Battlefield skills didn't come in handy at that time, ha ha!
Alrighty then, we are about to head
out so I will let you go. Have an amazing week and never forget that the Lord
answers prayers according to our faith. I hope that you can see the miracles
that the Lord has in store for all of you.
Sok Szeretettel,
(Lots of Love,)
Magda Elder
