Na, Szavaztok!

Wow wow wow today we got to go for an adventure hike up Tihany with a member, and I had once again, another one of those, "Wow, i am like, way too blessed to be here on a mission, to have my amazing companion, district, country, and family back at home, all at the same time" moments. For real you guys it is such a blessing to be out here as a missionary.

The work here in Veszprém is just trying its very best haha. We did though, have one of our way cool investigators come and stay for all of church (can i get a hooooraaaah?) 

I also have just gained such a huge testimony that the Lord is at the head of this church, and he really is directing the work out here. This Sunday we had another amazing experience. We once again were praying where we should tract, whom we should visit, what we should do, and we got the feeling to just start walking to the bus stop. On our way there we"just so happened" to run into one of our investigators, and he ended up walking us to our tracting destination. I just know that we are nothing without the power and inspiration that we recieve from our Heavenly Father. HE directs this work. 

"A bird may land on your head, but it doesn't have to build its next there"

You know, I have been thinking a lot about this little phrase this week. I have been thinking a lot about how every single person in this world has a trial. All of us have our struggles. but it is 100 percent our choice what we make out of those experiences. Whether we let them take us down, let them control our lives, or whether we choose to learn lessons from them, we choose to change, to mold into the person our Heavenly Father wants us to become. A bird may land on our heads, but it is 100 percent our choice the outcome. 

You hear those stories time and time again about people being in the depths of the most unimagineable trials, yet they are so strong, and so bright through them. It is a choice you guys. It is a choice to use the atonement every day, it is a choice to turn on our knees to our Heavenly Father, and tell him that we cannot do this alone, and it is also a choice to get up afterwards, and do what has been asked of us, and through that, it is a choice to learn, to soften our hearts, and to learn what we need to learn. 

for real i love, and am just so grateful for you all. thank you for the support, and your emails, and your kind words. 

sok sok sok szeretettel,
