It's unbelievable how time flies. I have less than six months in the mission field, and in seven more weeks Christmas will be here!
This week was not too busy and there were not too many interesting things happening, but there were some good lessons that I would like to write about.
We met János and we held a lesson about tithing and fasting. He understood everything and he has finished reading 2 Nephi. He came with us to institute and also to church on Sunday. Elder Szuch went to Pest, and Elder Shepherd and I visited the Belkó family where we had a very good conversation with Tibor and Edina. We read part of Elder Uchtdorf's talk "A Yearning from Home". When we talked about spiritual experiences during the conversation, Tibor said that he prayed for Edina a few days ago because she was not feeling well. Edina said that soon after she felt a lot better. Both of them were amazed that this happened to them and their eyes were a little tearful. The spirit was felt very strongly then. I feel that tiny but continuous changes are beginning to happen with Tibor. We also met Ági, a recent convert, and talked about missionary work. Elder Howell and I visited many of the less-active members.
The zone leaders came this week, and with them we visited a less-active member and celebrated Elder Szuch's birthday. We went to KFC and Sister Howell baked a chocolate cake. In the evening, the five of us played Bang. The next day was our district meeting and I gave a historical summary of the 1500-1900 period (Eger, Rácozi, Petőfi, etc.).
We held a teachers' council meeting on Sunday and it was a great success. Participants talked about the Savior's way of teaching and shared their own teaching experiences.
Lots of love,
Elder Gonzalez
