I most definitely am in denial that this is a thing. The fact that 10 whole months are gone is just incomprehensible. And I hear that from here, it just goes faster and faster, so I am trying my very best to enjoy every minute of it!
^kürtös kalács - famous yummy Hungarian bread we got at a festival ^
One of these moments was this week while tracting we tracked a few buildings and nothing. We kept going. We did one csengő and were buzzed in before I even said anything into the intercom. So we climbed up the stairs and from the top, a precious little néni poked her head out of her door. When we go up to the top of the stairs, we started telling her we were missionaries and she just stared at us with this bewildered smile and then I realized that she was not understanding us so we sat there for a minute just smiling (and almost laughing) and then finally she loudly told us that she could not hear us because she was deaf in one ear. So she turned around and thought it was the end of that. But then she turned back around and signaled for us to come in. She then put in her hearing aid and we stood in her little living room - stood - for almost an hour! Usually if we get a let-in, we don’t; get much in, but this néni let me talk about why we were here and then about the Book of Mormon. When she went to hand it back to me. I told her it was hers to keep and her face lit up and she pulled me in and gave me a big fat kiss on both of my cheeks! (She also is 85 years old and so energetic, just thought I would throw that in here!) She promised she would read it and we are gong to go back this next week to follow up and see what she thinks about it!
Just one of the many moments that gives me so much gratitude for having the chance to be a missionary here in Hungary and to befriend cute little néni’s like that one! This coming week is th last week of the transfer, so next P-day could be a different story! We will just have to wait and see.
^Some members we meet with - Mother and daughter, both named Marika.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!
Have a great week!
Sok szeretettel,
Gertsch Nővér
