Some good things happened in our work this week


December 3, 2018
Jó reggelt! (Good morning!)
Our week was good and we have started to see some good things happen in our work. First off, there is a man who messaged us 2 weeks ago through mormon.org (because if someone wants to chat on mormon.org in Hungarian we are the ones that respond). He was asking us what a day in the life of a member of the Church looks like. We answered his questions, and we had a lesson with him over Skype. He liked it so much he wanted to meet in person. He also lives about an hour away from Budapest, so it was a big commitment. We answered his questions and committed him to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. A couple days later he contacted us saying that this wasn't the way for him. Then last week he sent us a really good message saying that he can't "free" himself from the Book of Mormon, and he finds himself praying and he said that he believes God is speaking to him through the book. He has a wife and 2 young kids, and he is Catholic. He said that he tried to return to the beliefs of the Catholic church but he said it doesn't work and he asked us what he should do. We will be meeting with him this week and hopefully it will turn out good so the story can have a happy ending. 

We met with a family who we first found through caroling door to door, and who agreed to have us come back so we can share the Christmas story. It went really well, we shared the Christmas story and talked about the “Light the World” campaign Light the World 2018. But at the end, when we asked for a return visit to explain more about the Book of Mormon and our beliefs, they said "no" because they are active in a Protestant church and have no plans to change. It was still a neat experience.
  
I can't remember much more that was exciting. The office life is still good and really busy. I forgot to take pictures last week so hopefully next week there will be some pictures.  That’s good that the missionaries in your area got everyone to invite someone to church. Don't worry if my package gets stuck in customs. I'm the one who gets all the packages out of customs for the missionaries, so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.  It started to get cold here this past week, and it has been around 0 degrees celsius. That is all for this week.
Sok szerettel, 
Udy elder
