Hey
ya'll!
So, we
had some fun plans for our p-day today, but unfortunately Elder Shoop has been
having some more health issues that have been coming up and last night he had
let the mission president know and this morning we got the news that we are
going to Budapest at 1:00 to get to a 4:30 appointment for him. To be optimistic,
we're going to Budapest! There's nothing wrong about being in the city that I
love! And also I will be able to see the secretaries and be able to chat with
them for a little bit. I love those guys! Doesn't that make me just sound like
a nerd after having served as a secretary ha ha. But I definitely loved being a
secretary. Not mad about that. :) But we are hoping, my companion and I, that
everything is going to turn out to be alright. It should, which is the good
thing.
My word
it sounds like home is busy off the wazoo! Dad sounds like he has a crazy
schedule! Hopefully he's enjoying it though. At least he has Friday nights for
some relaxation and fun. I'm cheering for him and in everything that he's
doing! And then both Alisha and you have some crazy stuff going on. But, hey,
sometimes being busy can be exciting, right? Maybe not all the time, but some
of the time.
So, just
in short, this week has actually been really successful. We have been meeting
with people left and right and this week we were able to get 5 new
investigators! And the kewl part is, we have been working really hard for it
and things have come from it. That's what I have been stoked about as I've
looked back from this week. Because I have had past transfers where we would
work really hard and would just about get nothing, which, to be honest, I
wasn't mad about it. This work is hard, it's not meant to be easy. But, just to
see that things have been coming out of our efforts has just put a smile on my
face. The small things are what get me through every day, which I think is
something that I have really learned to treasure and love while I've been out
here. It truly is the small things that make the day that much brighter. Just a
little note!
Anyways,
sorry that this is super short. We have a few things to do before we have to
get on our train. I might be able to email a little bit more by the end of the
day, but I can't make any promises. Next week will be longer! Promise! Enjoy
this week and know that I'm loving Eger! And just for a little Magyar (Hungarian) for you: ne feljetek a jövőtöl. Habár nehez lehet amikor sok nehézségünk van,
de, mindig összeszámoljuk az áldásainkat. Akkor a nap világosabban nézhet ki.
:) (Ok. I “Mom” had to use Google translate which isn’t
the most accurate. Here goes…. Do not be
afraid of the future. Though it can be
difficult when you have a lot of trials, always count your blessings. You can then see the day clearly.)
From that

constantly told, 'Do you know that's a girl’s name?'
