Jó reggelt kívánok!
(Good morning)
This past week we were gone a lot from our area because
we went to a new missionary training in Budapest and we also had exchanges in
Győr.
In Győr I was with Elder Spencer, and we had a very special experience.
They day before the exchange Elder Spencer and his companion met with a woman
that was scared to go into her apartment because she told him there was an evil
spirit that dwelt there. Then she agreed for them to visit her in her apartment
the next day. We went to her apartment that is on the top floor of a tall
apartment building. There was a strange feeling in the apartment. She showed us
around, and wouldn't even go into the living room because she was so scared.
After we checked the apartment out for a bit, we talked with her and her 2 kids
in the bedroom. She said that for about 50 days they have heard the doors slam
shut and open, strange sounds coming from the room, something rubbing the
carpet, and other stuff. After speaking with her, we were able to use our priesthood
to cast out any evil spirit that was in the apartment, and afterwards we said a
prayer to dedicate the home. The spirit of the apartment felt a lot better afterwards.
Then a bunch of her family members came, who had also witnessed the same sort of
stuff in the apartment. Previously
they had obtained holy water from a Catholic priest and had put it around the
apartment. But it didn’t stop the strange occurrences. We were able to teach
them all about priesthood authority and the restoration of the gospel. 6 of the
people from that family came to church on Sunday in Győr, and they said they
hadn't had any problems in the apartment since we were there. It was a special
experience, and I am glad I was able to be a part of it.

Next week we will be starting an English class in Pápa. It
is called English Connect, a program the church created to make English classes
more structured. It seems really good, and it teaches people conversational
English. After the 24-week program, the participants will receive a certificate
of completion from LDS Business College. The class will be 90 minutes long --60
minutes devoted to English learning and then 30 minutes devoted to teaching
self-reliance principles. We printed out a bunch of flyers and hopefully we can
get a lot of people there next week.
We also have been teaching a lot of people this past week
about Christ’s atonement and resurrection, by using scriptures form the Bible
and Book of Mormon. It was a great way to introduce the Book of Mormon to people
as we talked about the atonement and resurrection.
Yesterday we watched a lot of church history films on our
little DVD player since it was a holiday, everything was closed, and there was
nothing else to do. Since this will be the last week of the transfer, p-day
will be on Tuesday next week. We don't know when we will be getting our new
smart phones exactly, but we were told that during zone conference next
transfer we will get a lot more information.
