Our hard work is paying off -- now if I can just recognize the people we have talked to when they come to church!

Hey Dad!! 7/14/08

so picture this, i am at church yesterday standing by the doors and as the members file in, they shake our hands and we say good morning to them as they come in and i recognize most of them, but this one walks by and i shake her hand and i say good morning and i didn't know who she was, she just looked familiar, i just thought she was a member... i kept thinking about where i had seen her before and then it dawned on me!!! she's one of our investigators!!!!! she is about 60 and looks just like any other old lady in the ward, she was even in a dress and everything!! so i ran after her and sat by her in sacrament meeting.

at the end of it i asked how she liked it and she said it made her feel agood and that the program was good :) and she said that next week she would think of us while she is sitting on the beach at the lake balaton :) and we laughed at that. Me and d... were so excited, becasue she is a lady we tracted into and had a first with and invited to church :)

haha its weird, but when she first opened the door when we were tracting, i knew we were going to be let in and then when she said she would try to come to church, i knew she would come... it has been weird like that so far.... hopefully when she gets back from her vacation, we will meet with her and teach her!!! :) so how about that!?!?! me and d... [were very excited] :)

we have been tracting our tails off this week, we have been doing the big 10 storey apartment buildings with anywqhere from 3 to 6 doors on each floor. the ones we have been doing lately have about 4 doors on each floor, so each building is about 40 people, which makes tacting go by a little quicker :) one of those days we tracted about 5 buildings, so over like 200ish doors and got nothin... like 2 finds i thinkis what we ended up with... it was a long day...

last week we had a lot of programs and things just seemed to be turning for the better, this week, everyone and their dog is at the lake balaton, where every hungarian goes to at least once a summer... so this week, it will be hard to find programs to set up... but we will give it a whirl anyways :)

so we had interviews this week and from all indications, me and d... are together fopr one more, but next sunday is transfer calls and so we find out then... but we all think everyone will stay except for one elder who is going home, so that will be cool. :)

i think i am dodging the bullet on going senior comapnion for at least one more transfer :) i am grateful for that :) i like having someone who knows the language better than me i can turn to, but what happens happens :)

lately we have been trying to talk to 10 extra people per day per missionary. that means that we have to talk to 10 people outside of tracting and streeting and such, which has been hard, becasue i hate streeting and such... but we have been out till 9 o clock or later every night this week doing that... we have been exhausted this week!!! but it has been a good experience.

well, not much to report about myself so far, it has been hot as ever and today was about as humid as you can get, it rained last night, so it is all evaporating and it is mixing with already existing humidity... it was terrible... you could breathe in really ahrd and feel water go down the back of your throat... reminded me of costa rica!!

i'm glad to hear that the golf clubs are getting good use, they better still be in use when i get home, i am excited to go with ya!

well, i love you a ton and i will talk to ya later!!!
see ya, gaufin elder
