August 10th

Well this was a crazy week Monday and Tuesday Mansell and i planned tons of programs It was awesome. Man that kid worked so hard to the very end. His parents came to pick him up and they toured the country all last week. And they came to some of the programs with us, so he was even working then! Dang thats the hardest thing i really have had to do on my mission is watch him go home. He was so awesome great example to me too!
Im glad you remembered the Gassers homecoming because i forgot to remind you of it last week. Man they were such great leaders for this misison, im really missing them, BUT the Baughmans are awesome too. A different style leadership but he has really brought alot to this mission. there pretty funny people too! So we had some good lessons this week, Éva, one of our investigators finally came to church yesturday! she didnt quite agree with everything but i know that she felt the spirit so were hoping that it will progress. Also Szilvi and her son came again and they are really liking it. Hopefully this week we will be able to put them on Bap-date.
I have a ton of work ahead of me now, im excited for it because i am really hoping to learn alot out of this next transfer, but its going to be pretty tough. I am already tired as crap mentaly, physically, and spritually, but im really making it a goal this transfer to study the scriptures alittle more in depth so that i can re-fill my "Virtue Bucket" daily.
On Saturday we were teaching Éva, her and my companion were going all over the place and she was just getting confused and fighting things that we were teaching and the spirit wasnt there, it was really tough because i could tell she wanted to know really what was true but the lesson was bouncing around so much that we couldnt teach. So at the very end I just bore a VERY simple testimony, it was cool because when i opened my mouth the whole room changed and the spirit hit every one really hard. I told her that there is only one way to know if something is true or not and that is to ask God. Then after that we were able to end the lesson Formally and we said a prayer then asked her to come to church and she said No, but we asked her if thats really what she was feeling right then and then she went really sober and said that she would but that we would have to meet her at the metro stop. It was a pretty neat experience i hope that she can remember how she felt when the spirit hit her.
Other than that im still working out every morning and eating pretty good! Ohhh wow so I found this little fruit shop at our metro stop and they had these peaches in there that are about the size of a softball and they were perfectly ripe!!!! ohh they were so good! Well I love all you guys and hope that this next week will go well for you all.
