This week started out only in the most perfect way!!

This week started out only in the most perfect way. After emaling we got to go over to our mission presidents home,  and we cooked with Sister Szabadkai, She taught us how to make my favorite hungarian food, hortobágyi palacsinták. we made dinner, and then our two coolest investigators, Krisztián and Dorina came over to have dinner with us and the Szabadkais, then they stayed and had family home evening with all of us.. It was such an amazing night, President Szabadkai is just such a great individual, and it was such a pleasure to bring our investigators over, and have a lesson with two people I look up to in my life. 

The next day we got to go over to my FAVORITE member's home, her name is Zsuzsi and she is practically American. She is the stake relief society president. She showed us how to make Lesco, and we talked a lot about my favorite talk from not last conference, but the one before that by J. Devyn Cornish, 'Am I good enough?' When president Kearon of the seventy was here, I asked him what his definition of "do your best" meant. because that phrase has always has bothered me. Like what the heck is your best? His answer struck such a chord in me. He said that doing your best means not becoming complacent, it was such a good lesson.

Yesterday we had this Womens Conference, and twi speakers from the world congress of families came to speak to us.  Sister Morris and I prepared the refreshments for after, and you could say that we should start a catering business.

So the worst situation that I could even dream of happened last night. So, we finally made it home last night, and as I was walking up the stairs there was a stupid cat sitting there, and so like obviously I hiss at it so that it knows it's place and then it ran away. We get into our apartment and I walk into my room and the literal spawn of satan was ON MY BED. The cat had run into our freaking apartment. We tore our room apart trying to get it to run out. I had a lightsaber in one hand, and an umbrella in the other, trying to lead it towards the door. but like heres the thing,  It kept jumping and trying to climb my wall and that thing was getting AIR. I had no clue that cats could do that and it was freaking me out. I did the bravest thing I have ever done, and I got a towel, and I literally went over and picked up the slothy creature. It was just as terrible as I had imagined. The animal melted like a stupid slinky in my hands. I am still recovering from this situation, so please be sensitive in your comments and your concerns.
