Saturday, 25 May
We spent this Preparation Day with the Assistants.
After the four of us emailed we all left for Esztergom. Esztergom is a
cathedral-castle (it’s positioned up on a hill and surrounded by a wall, and
used to be an enormous castle a couple centuries ago). It’s currently the
largest Cathedral in Hungary. Afterwards we took further advantage of the
AP’s car and went shopping with them at Auchin. In the evening the four
of us joined the crowd attending the Walker family concert. There were a
lot of people there. With the Walkers, today was probably the day I’ve
seen the most blonds in one place since leaving the MTC.
Sunday, 26 May
At Church today, only E attended out of our
investigators. I’m still praying that L’s wife will recover so she can
come to church, be taught the lessons, and be baptized. The
would-have-been Sunday School teacher didn’t show up, so the Assistants winged
an impromptu Sunday School lesson. After church, Elder Loveday and I went
tabling for several hours. However, very few people were outside and even
fewer were receptive. We haven’t had a very successful week
missionary-work-wise. My miracle reflection is that while our missionary
work isn’t increasing currently, I’m gratefully glad that my piano and cooking
skills have improved over my mission.
Monday, 27 May
Today was a Hivatal Day. This morning we took
Sister Grigg and Sister Maxfield to submit the applications for their residency
cards. It was my second to last trip, my last being next Thursday to
retake some pictures and fingerprinting. In addition to the Hivatal,
we’ve had a bunch of workers in the Mission Office and YSA level cleaning
everything and we got kicked out of the office for a couple hours. We met
with E today. R was there. We talked about Christ-like Attributes
and service. The program went great and E’s bringing all her relatives to
her baptism as well as set-up a program between us and one of her friends who
she has already given a Book of Mormon to, and will be coming with her friend
to meet with us on Thursday. Awesome! Our second program was with M.
He asked if we could watch the Restoration Film, then practically had his face
glued to the screen the whole time. In addition to watching the movie, we
talked about faith and enduring to the end. M is still reading and
praying, and he asked us if it was still okay for him to be baptized in
August. Of course! Things are going well with him. In the evening
we devoted our time to calls and Area Book work. My miracle today is that
as I have continued reviewing my journals I am thankful for the memories.
Tuesday, 28 May
One dog today. The cleaning of the Mission Home
continued, moving down to the main floor and basement. E had her
baptismal interview today and finally decided who she would like to perform the
ordinances. She passed the interview of course, and asked that I be the
one to baptize her, and for Elder Bebel to confirm her with the Bishop standing
in. In the late afternoon Elder Loveday and I went streeting and tracting
for several hours. While we were tracting, we got a call from Z who
dropped us over the phone.
Wednesday, 29 May
One cancellation today. Our investigator became
sick. The workers finished cleaning the building today. However,
they moved stuff to clean and didn’t move any of it back, leaving behind a
mess. We got the camera to the front door fixed today. We worked
more on our Area Book today and made home-made pizzas in the evening with the
Assistants using a 3-Kilo loaf of bread. My miracle is excitement to meet
with E and her friend tomorrow.
Thursday, 30 May
Two cancellations today. It was pouring rain until
the afternoon. This morning we received a call and ran to the Mission
Home early so I could stand as a witness to someone getting re-baptized.
We later met with E. R was there. We filled out her baptismal form
with her. Unfortunately, her friend was not able to come with her to meet
today. The next time we meet with E she will be a member. Several
missionaries were here for interviews today. We also met with E and
watched the Restoration Film. She’s currently been having many family
problems, especially with her husband. Angolora was really small
tonight. I don’t know if it’s due to summer or the rain. Today’s
miracle is that in three weeks I’ll be home.
