Blakes Letter 6/15/09

Wow sorry about last week, yes we were busy but what happened is that i spent most of my emailing time writing you guys but then the ldsmail log you out after 20min but lets you stil type. Then i went to send it and it told me that i needed to log back in so i did and it erased the whole email ugh... i was way mad, then i hurry and typed you a short version and sent it but it sent it back to me for some weird reason so sorry there was no letter last week. ill try and find it and send it to you again.
Well this week has been awesome. there is so much i want to talk about but this is the coolest thing EVER!!!! So there is this guy that is about 55 and he was baptized in 91' but went in-active in about 94' and has had a hard time. He has been really depressed since then and was totally miserable. Then with Mansell we streeted him one night and had to pull his teeth to get him to talk with us. Then over the past 4months we have met with him about every week and he seemed to be getting not so depressed every time. Then just 2 weeks ago i gave him a new book of mormon and told him that he had to read out of it every day, because it will make him feel happy, it took about 15min to get him to accept the commitment, So then this last week we met with him and he was the happiest man in hungary. The first thing he said to me is that he read every single night before studying for court cases (hes a lawyer) and ever since then he has been progressing in court cases and he finally won a case that has beengoing for 15years. Ahhhh its so awesome to see the power of the Book Of Mormon, how it really affects your life. This guy is awesome! He speaks english pretty good too so its easy to have programs with him.
So that is my awesome spiritual story for Debrecen, We are getting transfere calls next monday and i am pretty sure im leaving here. Also Ági, she is one of the young women here, is leaving i don't know if i have talked about her much but she is awesome!!!! She is 22 now and speaks fluent english and Hungarian, She is leaving for america on friday to go to a scout camp thing for 2 months then she is going to Germany to live with a family and take care of the kids for a year. She has been a huge help to the missionaries and is one of the strongest members i have ever met. Wow its really sad to see her leave because this branch is going to struggle without her. But i think its good too because this week the members realized she is leaving and know that they need to start picking it up. WEll im doing good and i love you guys and thanks for the email about ashlee and libby she is cute :) i bet bridger is pretty excited!
WEll love you guys alot and thanks for everything!!!!!

Shoot well guess?! what on wednesday it will be my 6 month mark on my mission, Wow this is going way too fast.I get so busy planning and setting up programs and stuff i forget where time goes and these weeks go soo soo fast. Wow

So this week here we had interveiws, splits, lots of meetings (with the branch), and a Kirándalás (its like a pic-nic type thing) so its been a very busy week, we didn't have any success streeting or tracting, and everysingle program we had dogged us except 1, and that one was way cool. so it made up for all the dogs. So my companion wonders why i am studying these words like Welding, machining, weird car parts and stuff but that guy we met with is a welder, locksmith, and works on cars. So i can understand more of what he is saying than my companion can haha but during the lesson the spirit was so stronge. He doesn't beleive in God and he feels like praying is pointless but when we asked him to pray and read, right off he said he would because "he feels something" YES i love this church!!!!!
WEll i love you guys alot and thanks for everything especially your prayers, i can really feel them!!!
