What it's like to be let in...

03/09/09
hey dad!

so this week went good, we had interviews, and you are right, it is like a zone conference where we all go to the misison home and then president pulls us aside and interviews us throughout the day.

but ya, we had to give a training or doctrinal tip on the commandments in hungarian and it went really good. we talked about thigns like: tithing - do you ahve to pay tithing on retirement? WoW caffeine, caffeine free coffee, teas, enbergy drinks? and things like that, it was fun, a few people got all fiery and such and it was tight :) it went good.

so we were able to meet with that investigator, it was a good meeting and we hope to meet with him again sometime soon. he had to work on sunday so whe couldn't come to church, but he tries to when he can.

And i can't believe sister s... is home, i was actually in the MTC with her... and now she is home...

well, i have a fun experiebce to share aboiut tracting... we got let in on saturday night, but first, while we were tracting, we rang this persons bell and an old man came out... well, he was playing around with his ear and when he got to the gate he said that his hearing aid was dead... haha well, that makes for some fun things... after yelling to him for a bit, he figured that we were there for his wife named Éva... now there are thousands of Évas in hungary... but there is one in our ward named m... éva and it was a liong shot, but she lived in that area and maybe this was her husband :) so we say ok (or yelled) and he went inside to get her.

well, a lady comes out and it is not the one that we know... but rather she comes out and says that she is a J.W., which explains why her husband thought we were there for her, becasue all J.W. tractors wear suits and such... well, it comes out that we are from america and speak english and she says that her husband speaks english... (now keep in mind this couple is in their late 60's to 70's...) but she said that he lived in canada for 35 years, so she said she'd go see if he wanted to talk... well, she ran off before we could really say anything...

she pokes her head out and says to come in.. so we go in avoiding the nasty rotweiler/german shephard mixed dog named Lexi, and we go in and sit down...

well, i won't go into details, but the mother in law lived ther and had problems (no good) but we sat around a table and started talking. well, after 5 minutes,p... asks if we should speak enlgish (he says it in engliosh) and the guy answers in hungarian that it isn't allowed... well, me and p... are really confused now... then 5 minutes later after his wife had been yelling for a bit, he finally looks at us and says in english "you speak english?!?!?! why didn't you say so!!!" and then he was off! haha his hearing aid didn't work, so we couldn't ask him questions, but he told his whole life story to p... in english, becasue i guess he did live in canada for a liong time...

Meanwhile, i sat in the wrong chair... the wife asks me about our church, which is fine, but she is a J.W. and i don't like alkl that bible bashing stuff, especially in hungarian... but so it began... so while p... listened to the guy, i told the lady about what we believed in and it went well, she must ahve been a newly vconverted J.W. becasue she was epsecially nice... but we gave them a book of mormon, and after 15 minutes of telling the guy that we needed to go, it finally clicked and he said "Ok, then you all better get on outta here!" and we did... we were there for over an hour and a half... ahha good times :)

well, i gotta run, but i thought you might like to hear that one... it was definately a night-ender, becasue we were sitll 1.5 hours away from home... haha but it was good, we might go back in april when the wife said to come back :)

well, i love ya!
