HAPPY JUNE EVERYONE!
This week I will hit my 6 months. And this week is also the last week of my
second transfer! Next week is going to
be full of change and I am so nervous.
My only companion I have had in the country will be leaving me (or I
will be leaving her) and not knowing if I will be staying in the beautiful
Szeged is a really crazy thought! My
companion, the people in the branch, the city, the investigators are all I have
known for the past few months and I have become so comfortable and grown to
love everything about this place.
But I
have started to realize that in a mission, change is inevitable and usually
happens when you don’t want it to. Although
I may be extremely nervous and scared, I feel a growth within myself because with
all of that, I am also so excited.
I have gotten so comfortable and as a result of that I feel like I have
hit a plateau. I just started going
through the motions and not pushing myself.
So this change will
definitely be a challenge but I am so READY and it is much needed. Next email, I will be able to update you all
on what’s happening next transfer.
Praying this week goes by fast so I can find out already!
As for this past week, I don’t have much to write
about. A lot of people cancelled on us
or did not show up for our programs, so I got to practice a lot of patience and
optimism!
Here’s a couple of
highlights of the week:
-
We were out in a village visiting someone, and
it worked out that we were outside right as the sun was setting, so I FINALLY
was able to see the sunset and it was breathtaking!!!
-
The weather has been so crazy lately. It will randomly rain and randomly stop. Being from California, I am not used to rain
in June, but it’s fun! Gives us a break
from the heat and makes for some killer clouds.
I have been staring up at the sky all week. I’m obsessed!
-
We meet with this family that has little kids
and they are my absolute favorites because I miss my little cousins so much and
they fill the void until I am back with my family again!
-
We tracted into this néni (grandma) that opened the door with
the biggest smile on her face and it never left her face as she invited us in
and we got to talk with her. Actually it
was more like she talked to us for an hour and a half, but nonetheless, she was
so happy and made me happy!
-
We celebrated with one of our investigators,
Laci. It was his birthday!
-
CHERRY SEASON!
The past few days we have been going out to tract out by the family
homes, or családi ház’s, and there
are cheery trees EVERYWHERE! How could
you be sad or down when you can eat a whole bunch of cherries for FREE?
Definitely going to have to get one in my backyard someday. Our tracting breaks have been so delicious
lately… I love it!
And that’s all I can really think of for this week. Not too much of an update this P-Day – but next
week will be one for sure! I have such a
love/hate relationship with change but I am ready to see what’s next for
me! A quote I heard back in the MTC has
been helping a lot lately:
“There’s no comfort in a growth zone and
there’s no growth in a comfort zone”
It is so true! I need
to start growing, but that’s not going to happen if I stay in my safe, easy
comfort zone! It’s definitely easier
said than done, but I am so lucky to have help and strength from my Heavenly
Father, I just gotta take that scary leap!
I love you guys so much.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I appreciate you more than
you will ever know!
OPTIMISM IS KEY!
Sok Szeretettel,
Gertsch Novér
