Morgan Elder in Magyarország

This week was good, we started it off at Piroska house doing service helping her with her garden. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Miskolc with the Zone Leaders. Elder Brown and I focused on promising blessings to investigators and working in unity. It was really good, he is a fantastic missionary. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot from him. We met with one of their recent converts and talked about the blessings of coming to Church. We just need to talk about the blessings of the gospel. Back in Szeged we were able to meet with some returning members. We talked with two of them about the holy temple and what we need to do now to prepare to continue on the covenant path. We were also able to contact a meet with a returning member named Ferenc. We talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon. We are trying to help him come and attend church. We are going to meet with him every week. We also had time to meet with one of our newer investigators. It went well, we taught him ...

This week was hot, like actually, it was really hot outside. Hopeful it is just a phase. The heat made it difficult to get people to stop and talk to us outside. We didn't find anyone new in our streeting or tracting but we still had some good teaching teaching this week. We had a super cool miracle on Sunday, a self referral just came to church, and we are meeting next week after priesthood meeting. We also gave him a branch house tour, and showed him the baptismal font, and he asked us "so if someone wants to join this church, how does that work." I hope our lesson with him next week will go really well.  We also had a really great lesson with a man that was referred to us from the branch president. We did a 30/30 lesson with him. We taught him the restoration, and although he seemed skeptical, he said he would read out of the book of Mormon and we are going to meet with him again this coming Friday. We met with some other investigators, its slow going, but we ...

I'll start with the best part of the week: On Saturday, Piroska was baptized! I had the privilege of preforming the ordinance, it took three tries, but I guess that means that it was done right, third time is the charm. She said that it was the best day of her life, and i guess that was saying a lot since she is like 75 years old. It was really great, and there was a good turn out of people there to support her. Pentecost Sunday was also special for her, she received the gift to the holy ghost, like the disciples of old. It was a good week end. This week we had really good success with English class. Our first week we had 12 people come (8 more than normal), and last week we had 17, this coming week we are going to have to divide the classes. We are also getting some really good support from the members. The branch president gave us a referral, and he came to English class, and is now a new investigator. We have found 4 people through English class in the last 2 weeks. I hope...

This week was the busiest week of 2019 so far. We had 12 lessons, a few more that fell through, found five new investigators, it was crazy, but awesome. We spent a lot of time getting Piroska all set for her interview on Saturday, which was successful. She is getting baptized this Saturday at 4pm, and everyone is very excited. I hope it goes well. We were able to meet with Áron actually 2 times now. He has liked the 30/30, but especially the gospel portion. He is little eccentric and boisterous, but very kind, and was just eating up the restoration lesson. I hope its because he is prepared for our message, but I worry he might be that way because of the effects of alcohol, but we will deal with that as it comes, for now, it's going well.  We also had a lesson with József and brought a member with us, it was difficult, he told us that it was going to be his last lesson with us, but he said he would read the Book of Mormon all the way this month, and get back to us in Jul...

This week flew by. Zone Conference was fantastic. The Spirit was strong, and I loved the testimony meeting that we had on Gellért hegy. The upcoming introduction of smart phones will change a lot. I've already seen circumstances in our work this week, that could be improved by having technology. It will be exciting. We had a fantastic lesson with József this week, and talked about the plan of salvation. It was amazing. It is so cool to see people connect with the scriptures. He just kept saying, "Wow, this scripture makes so much sense! It just answers questions that the Bible can't." We are continuing to help prepare Piroska for her baptismal interview this coming Saturday. The branch has been very helpful and supportive. We had a couple lessons with returning members and a lot of successful look-ups. Hopefully we will be able to meet with more returning members in the coming weeks. It was kind of a difficult week, but Saturday was full of miracles and eve...
