Week 6 in Békéscsaba

Hi!

There was a lot of stuff going on this week, so I'll give you a report.

We went around sharing the lessons we learned from the talks. We held a program and talked about the general conference with a part member family. We met a new investigator while tracting. He is Italian and his wife is Hungarian. He speaks Hungarian very well and has been living here for some time. We talked to him about the Book of Mormon and about our church but often he changed the conversation to another topic, like how important is to learn the Latin language. But he is open to listen to our message and he is an interesting guy.

During English class we taught the beginners about time, seasons, months, days of the week, etc. After institute on Friday we went to the Howells' apartment to watch the broadcast of Elder Hales' funeral.

I went on a lot of splits with Elder Howell. On Thursday we had an appointment with a member but unfortunately he wasn't at home, so instead we did some home teaching.

I conducted temple recommend interviews this week with some members and also issued a limited-use temple recommend to a new member. It was a good experience.

On Sunday I gave a blessing to a 6-month old baby. The mom is a member. The Spirit was very powerful and it is very uplifting and a real spiritual experience to give a baby blessing.

I was with Elder Howell in the second half of the day. We processed the tithing, prepared the quarterly report, and visited two less-active members. The Howells started a marriage enrichment course on Sunday evening with great success and many came. I had an old manual but Sister Howell taught from the new one and I had to improvise while translating. Fortunately, it went well. I have to improvise a lot here in Békéscsaba but I'm doing okay. :) Sundays are busy days.

Take care,
