8/11/08Hey dad! so, i did know the olympics started, becasue a few people we tracted into said they were watching them, and one guy said he couldn'T talk to us becasue he was watching the U.SD. beat china in basketball, so we asked him the score and he instead, just let us in anmd we watched the last 5 minutes of it with him while we talked about the church, we also saw michael phelps destry the world record and win gold, and such like that, it ewas fun tos ee them, you will ahve to give me updates on the olympics in the emails :)
well, so on tuesday we were out and about and we got a call from the mission office and they gave us a referral, and it was from some guy who looked up the churches phone number, becaue he ahd had a dream and wanted to meet us... so right when D... hung up the phone with the mission office, it rang again and it was the guy! turns out he wanted to meet with us the next day for an hour or two and talk about the church, so we schgeduled and waited for it to come.
the next day we went and met him, and they are an older couple, a guy and his wife, and we went to the branch house and he proceeded to tewll us why he wanted to meet with us. it turns out he ahd had a dream and i wopn'T tell all of it, but basically, christ was holding the book of life in his hand and then when this guy woke up (name is g...) he heard a voice telling him to look up the mormons. All g... had heard about the mormons was that they had an awesome choir :) and he had heard some not so good things about us., but he figured, people say bad thoings about christ, and he was still a good guy, i'll see what the mormons have to say.
so we met with him and he is pretty much a "golden referral" they came in 30 kilometers to meet with us and then came again on sunday for churcha nd brought their 9 year old daughter... they are going to the balaton and wanted to know if there was a place they could go to church out there :)
so we are4 working with them at the moment, and it is a lot of fun :)
our miracle néni on the other hand went to the balaton again and so we can'T meet with here... last time she went, it was bad weather, so she is going agin, for like 9 days or something... we were not too happy with that, but what do you do, we will be here when she gets back :)
on tuesday, earlier in the day, we got let in by this old bácsi (old man...) and he only had a pair of boxers on :) and he wanted to talk to us, hewas as nice as can be, but he smoked and he drank a bit, it was funny, he asked us like 8 times if we wanted to try this really good beer or wine, and he just couldn'T accept that we didn't drink. so get this, we tell him that we don't drink alcohol, so he goes into his kitchen and says, ok, how about some coke? now this is where that movie mobsters and mormons comes into play, where the family asks the mormons if they drink alcohl, and then beer, and then coke, and they keep saing no... haha similar experience. I drink coke just fine, D... on the other hand is not from a family that drinks caffeine at all. so the old bácsi brings out this coke, and i drink mine and we had to tactfully trade cups, so i drank them both, and now, i don'T drink coke very often, especially when it doesn't have vanilla in it, so i was 1. full, 2. feelin a little out of it, 3. already full form lunch... not good.
he finally had us eat some of his soup that he had, so we went into his kitchen and ate some soup, which wa pretty good, and then he said since we don't drink alcohol, he wanted us to try some of his tomato juice... he said he made it out in his garden, so it was homemade by him. so we said "ok". he then reaches into the fridghe and pulls out a wine bottle...this is where we both looked at eachother and he opos the little cork and fills two glasses with tomato juice... i tasted it and it was tomatoe juice alrioght, but it did have a funny taste to it, but we are pretty sure it was safe to drink and non alcoholic. I have to say that is the first time i have ever had homemade tomoato juice out of a wine bottle :)
well, have a good week, and thanks for everything!!
love ya tons!
