We have more investigators in our teaching pool

February 11, 2019

Szép jó reggelt!  (Good morning!)

Last week was really good and we were super busy as usual. Now that we have more investigators in our teaching pool, and we have been teaching some returning members, our schedule has been really busy with office and lessons, and we have not had too much time for anything else. This week we had 2 investigators in church "L", who regularly comes and then a new person we started teaching also came-- "J". That is 2 weeks in a row that we had a new individual at church for the first time. "J" is a referral from a recent convert from Eger. He was baptized in Eger last spring, I believe, and then he moved to Budapest. He has been inactive, but this week we managed to get in contact with him, and his friend "J" is also interested in our message. On Sunday they both were able to attend church. They are both in their late 20's.

We met with a cool new investigator this past week. He is from Peru but has lived in Hungary for over 30 years. He speaks fluent Hungarian. He is a physicist and a really smart man given that he can speak 5 different languages.  He was born Catholic but realizes that the Catholic church is most likely a fallen church. It set us up perfectly to teach a restoration lesson to him. He really liked it and is willing to get baptized when he knows for himself that it is true. He is a very open person and we are very excited to continue teaching him.

In the Buda ward a member of the Elders quorum presidency was finally assigned to work with the missionaries or rather missionary work in the ward. So now we have someone in the ward who we can work with very closely. We are excited to meet with him on a regular basis to discuss the needs of our investigators and also the goals for the ward. 

That is a lot of snow. I did not know it could snow that much in the tri-cities. Also I forgot to mention that there is a new missionary in Hungary that is from Richland. His name is Elder Brooks. There are a lot of people in Tri-cities so you probably don’t know him. 

Üdvözlettel (Best regards)
