Morgan Elder in Magyarország

This week was fantastic! We got the 3rd member of our companionship this week. Elder Emang is so cool, I love him, I almost wish that I wasn't leaving two weeks into the transfer. This week we had a good number of lessons, the Saturday branch activity, and one of our investigators came to church. Tuesday was also my "last day" as in I had my final interview, self reliance, dinner and testimony meeting. It was really great, I was able to get spend time with Elders Katics, Burnett, and Spencer. Its really strange to be in the post "last day of my mission phase" and pre-going to airport part of my mission. It all feels really real, and strange, and It makes me sad and happy all at the same time. I don't know. We taught a good number of lessons, had one investigator in church, and the branch party was awesome. We had a really good lesson with one of our investigators, and we brought two members. It was really good. We talked about how to build ...

Well we did it, This week we broke my mission record of having 14 lessons in one week, we had 15 lessons! It was crazy, I like teaching lessons, but when that is all, it makes your brain and tongue tired. It was a ride. We focused on specifically focusing on the sacrament and on making covenants with heavenly father. We had a lot of investigators and returning members tell us that they were going to come to church, but they all stood us up. It hurt, but I hope that our efforts still left an impact. Bitter sweet. We had a couple really powerful lessons with returning members this week. We focused on one of our lessons on finding faith in Christ. With that we read with him Mosiah chapter 3, and then watched "finding faith in Christ" I've found that the more I focus on Christ, the spirit is always more abundant. We also had taught a Man about how our attendance and dedication to church and keeping the sabbath day holy reflects the sacred covenants that we have made, we ...

Weeks with lots of travel always zoom by, its a little unfair, despite that we still had some good lessons and found 4 new investigators! Zone Conference was wonderful. I loved the focus on the importance of members. Its going to take time to develop a member missionary culture, but now is good of a time to start as any. I always love the spirit that is felt in Zone Conference, that is something that I am going to miss. We had a really cool lesson with some new investigators that we found last week. They are two college students in Szeged. One is from The middle east and the other from India. Its really interesting to teach people from a Muslim background, there are a lot of similarities, but its hard to teach people who don't believe that Christ was the Son of God. In our lesson we focused on the importance of prophets, specifically a modern day prophet. I hope that they will read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, I know that if they do, they will feel that it is true. ...

Another busy week, flew by! This week was awesome! Had a ton of lessons, 12 in all, 4 on Saturday alone. I've never had a day of my mission where I've taught 4 lesson without someone standing us up or canceling. We also found 8 new people. I really hope that those new ones turn out to be solid investigators, at least a couple of them. We also got two referrals from members this week. We were able to meet with one, the other is still in the works. Besides being busy teaching, the highlight of our week was definitely Friday. District meeting was wonderful, and then we followed it with a group finding activity in Szeged with the Kecskemét sisters. We also had our MCM leader and elders quorum president join us. The weather was beautiful and we talked with a lot of great people. We streeted a group of college students, one from Nigeria, another from Palestine, and two from India. We had a really good conversation about Prayer and focusing on giving thanks to God. We set up for...
