We went on a hike last P day, it was sooo cool
looking over the whole city! 

 

Look who I found in Győr this weekend?! :)

Hello!!!

I had a good week! I have been all over the country though! This week I went to Székesfehérvár, Dunaújváros, Győr, then home to Tatabánya. Wow, I was sooo tired! I loved it though! I looooove going back to areas that I’ve served in, it’s so weird seeing all of the same buildings and where you used to live and to think how different you were then or how you’ve have changed.

We had to give 2 trainings for different zones this week, they turned out good though! haha Still hate talking in front of people though! We were sooo tired by the end of the week! haha We for sure have turned into little old ladies out here!

K, little miracle that happened this week! So, there is this guy named Laci, he is freaky. He is homeless and crazy. I guess the old sisters used to meet with him, so he always runs up to us when he sees us. He isn’t a big fan of me though, because I’m not meeting with him. Ok, anyways! So we were walking home after English class, so it was getting dark and no one was on the streets. I heard this guy yelling and cussing in Hungarian, so mad. It was Laci coming across the cross walk right towards us!!! We were going to cross paths and he was only a few feet away. He was super drunk and sooo mad! I was scared and we had no where to go and no one was around. I just prayed in my heart and we kept walking. Laci saw us and got furious, he was marching right up to us cussing and when he was about 4 feet away, I didn’t know what else to do but to just pray harder! We made eye contact and he looked right at us. Then he just suddenly stopped yelling, turned and walked away in the opposite direction. He didn’t even recognize us. I felt the spirit so strong and don’t konw what would have happened if he didn’t stop, maybe nothing, but I felt protected and that we were being looked out for. Sorry, that was a little long, but I wanted to tell you! :) You know from the movie "17 miracles?" When she gets on the train and her husband looks right at her and doesn’t recognize her? That’s exactly what I thought of after it happened. I’ll never watch that movie again without  remembering Laci and what happened.

One more stressful thing about this mission, is the buses and trains everywhere! So we were a little late getting out the door and had to run to the train station. The elders were waiting and told us we only had 4 mins! Ah! We ran in quick and the ticket lady ran out of paper... Ah! We grabbed our tickets and ran out. Tatabánya has the worst train station. haha There is a big hall and then huge staircases of about 60 stairs leading down to each platform. Ok, so the elders were on the train waiting and we ran as fast as we could and raced down the last staircase and no train!! Ugh, we thought we missed it, when we saw it across the tracks! So we ran down the wrong one! We tore up those stairs and across and down the other huge staircase! haha Good thing no one was around, we had to pull up our skirts a bit and take it three at a time. FINALLY made it and it was so good to see the elders waiting in the doorway when the train starting moving! So I’m racing towards them and they are both reaching out ready to grab me and pull me up onto the moving train that’s going faster and faster. I’m about to jump when I look back and see Sis. Feil running behind me and I’m yelling “can u make it?!” haha she says “no! I can’t, don’t jump!” So I stopped running and just watched as the door closed on the elders and we were just watching each other through the window as the train left! haha I don’t normally throw in these kinda random stories, but just so you get an idea of what the transportation is sometimes like over here!  

We didn’t teach a ton of lessons this week with being gone so much, but this next week will have some more!

Love you so much!!!

Have a great week! xoxo
