#11 Debrecen: All the Good Things in Missionary Work

We had another blessed week full of miracles, lots of time for finding, all the good things in missionary work.

On Wednesday we had a lesson with one of our investigators named Kem, he is an older gentleman from England. Kem is super lonely so when we teach him we stay longer and just talk to him. After that we had about an hour left of the day before dinner and decided to just finish tracting the rest of his street. We had an older woman set up to meet with us later, a thirty something man said we could come back, but then we had a man named Csaba let us in. Getting a let in is super rare. We taught the restoration lesson and shared the Book of Mormon with him and his wife (Erika), and father. They were interested and we set up another time to return. They also have 2 teen aged children. It was a great experience. I love finding families, it's why I love tracking. We also got a member referral this week from one of the families in the branch. His name is Máttyás, he is boyfriend of the Balogh families oldest daughter. We had a wonderful light the world lesson with him and the Balogh family and he also came to church this week, and has apparently been going to institute for the last couple week with his girlfriend. We look forward to seeing where all these new opportunities will go.

We are still working on regularly meeting with our other investigators, but it gets difficult with the holidays, exams, and people standing us up, but you have more time to find people when people stand you up or cancel on you.


This week I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting about Christmas and "Light the World." While preparing for it I kept thinking about how amazing it is that it is a world wide celebration, it's like a huge testimony that Christ really was born. I read some prophecies from the Book of Mormon about his coming, and then the testimony of our prophet Joseph Smith from this dispensation from D&C 76. I love the "Light the World" initiative because it allows us to display and act on our testimonies that Christ was born, and lives today, I love Christmas, and my Savior.

Sok Szeretettel, Morgan elder.

#2 Pest II: 21 Day Book of Mormon Challenge

Image
Long time no see... It feels like it's been only four days since I have sent you an email... oh, yeah, that's because it's only been 4 days since my last email. So, what I have I been up to in the last few days? Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday was eaten up by lots of Zone Leader Administrative stuff, so it was nice to get to regular missionary work on Thursday, except for the three hours we spent at the hevital to register in our new area, which was a fail because we decided to stop waiting after three hours and we'll have to go back next week. Friday was district meeting, and Saturday we did our weekly call with the mission president as zone leaders. We talked about the new 21 day Book of Mormon reading challenge the Church is doing for Europe. It officially starts the 1st of September, but we've gotten a head start. We will be using it in our proselytizing and in our district and zone meetings. Every day there is a scriptures passage, a question, and a conf...

#4 Nyíregyháza: Debrecen is a Cool City

This week sort of flew by. The miracle of this week was for sure our lesson with Zoltán. He became a new investigator last week, but this week we had our first real lesson with him. We did a lot of good and taught him about the Book of Mormon and how to get a testimony of spiritual things. He is a very religious man and he said that he is a real truth seeker and wants to know if what we have is true. At the end of the lesson he was asking us about how to repent because he said that it’s hard to learn about it in the bible. We told him that he will find answers to his questions, as he reads the Book of Mormon, prays, meets with us and comes to church. I hope tomorrow’s lesson goes well. A lot of our investigator lessons fell through this week, so we did a lot of look ups and meeting with members. We shared messages about how we can use the blessings of the gospel in our lives to invite people to partake of the fruits of the gospel. I guess you could say it was the “come and see” ...

#8 Pest: A New Mission

Image
This week a new Mission President landed on the blessed native soil of Hungary. At 7:20 a.m. on June 29th an airplane debarked out of an airport in Romania caring our new Mission President and his wife, Elder and Sister Hettinger. July 1st is the first official day that the Romanian and Hungarian missions combine, so there was a little interim period, but this week we got a new administration of our mission and a whole new mission!! So BIG stuff. This week was a blur, but it's odd because honestly it was a slow week for teaching and we were dropped by one of our investigators, and have another that we will probably have to drop verily soon; but after hours and hours of streeting we found tons of potential investigators. This week we picked up a new investigator who is a Jehovah's Witness, so that's pretty exciting, I've never taught a Jehovah's Witness on my mission. BTW: Jehovah is Jesus, just putting that out there. We just have to wait and see how they pro...
