Dearest everyone I love. (If unloved by me, stop reading now. Just kidding. I love everyone. mostly.)
This week was a pretty good'un. We were blessed to find 9 new investigators, which is an incredible amount! We saw a lot of miracles as well, as we were finding them.
There's this woman, Linda, who we found while tracting and she let us in and we taught her! she accepted a baptismal date for October 9th, so hopefully I don't get transferred so that I can witness her enter the Fold of God. But she is very excited and is even telling her friends about it! She came to church yesterday, which she loved, and so it's awesome. Her parents are divorced, Jehovah's witnesses in Australia that are re-married to Australians. Yeah, I know, right? But she is great!
We also teach this man named Joe Szabo (sweet sidenote: szabo means tailor in hungarian. tailor is mostly like Taylor. therefore, Szabo = Taylor......ish. Yes please.) He makes a lot of things (i.e. guns, tables, walking sticks, you name it, he's made it.) He used to be a welder, but lost his job and now just sits at home and then goes archery shooting on sundays. He is 60 years old and looks like he's maybe 40. crazy. But he has a ton of deep questions about the plan of Happiness and such, so we'll do our best to get him.
One crazy thing I've noticed is that over here, every once in a while, i meet someone who loves my accent! weird! but oddly enough, they are usually men. explain that one to me. wait, no don't. but anyways, it's nice to be appreciated in a hostile foreign land, that's what i'm trying to say.
I love this work! It's amazing to see how people can change, and I absolutely love it!
But thank you all for everything you do! For your love, kindness and prayers! Keep the faith, and don't die while I'm gone!
Looooooove!
