Naegle Nover: BUDA!!!!!

Hello everyone,

Last week I ran out of time before I hit send so I am including my email from last week as well as this week.
Last week:
Hello all, we had a tough week but a good one. One of the highlights was delivering a Book of Mormon to the neighbors of a senior couple who used to live here. They are the cutest little family. Just the mom was home and she invited us in and said we could come back. Gabi came to a Relief Society Acitivity, a game night, a baptism, and then to church. And then to Family Home Evening the next day. She is finally starting to interact with the members more and seem comfortable. We also finally met with an inactive guy that we've wanted to meet with for a while. At first he said he would only meet with us for English help, nothing more. So we agreed and figured we'd just start with a prayer and talk in English about prayer and stuff. So we did and we planned to meet with him at the branch house right before an activity so we could get him to stay and it turned out really well. The members were great about reaching out to him.

This week:

Today we got transfer calls and I will be going to serve in Buda tomorrow. I will be serving with one of my MTC companions and I am really excited.
Today we went to the zoo with the Vierneses and the elders and had a blast looking at the different exhibits and then going out to lunch. I am really going to the miss the Vierneses. They are so cool and really made our holidays a good experience. One of the big highlights of the day was that as we showed up to the zoo, a group of missionaries from Debrecen was leaving it. They had with them Laci, who got baptized right after I left Debrecen. It was really cool to see him. He is super happy about his baptism and obviously loves the gospel.

This week:
I LOVE Buda! I don't actually know why, because the work is technically not as great as the work I left behind but I have always wanted to serve here and I am happy to be in the city again. It's completely different from serving in the smaller cities. It's also different being out of the eastern part of the country. Even the accent is different. I've had to reset my Hungarian brain a little bit.

I don't have much to tell about investigators because it's only been a few days. We have one investigator who is supposed to get baptized next week so that is pretty exciting. Yesterday we had our first lesson with a really cool lady. She is the coworker of a member and he not only referred us to her but came to the lesson as well and helped a lot. I was super impressed because that has pretty much never happened on my mission and that's how it is technically supposed to be. The funny thing is, it kind of threw us off a little because we're so not used to it. She said she would read the entire Book of Mormon so I am really happy for her and looking forward to helping her progress. People from the stake come here often for different trainings and activities so I have already had the opportunity to see some people from my first transfer, including Laci from Kispest (not Debrecen Laci). It was so great to talk with him and hear about how much he loved getting the Gift of the Holy Ghost and how he can feel the difference and has been on splits with the elders and passed the sacrament and is planning on going to the temple to be baptized for his father.

Being in Buda, seeing all these people, and serving around people from the MTC makes me feel like I've come full circle. I will most likely stay here until the end of my mission and that is pretty strange. I am really excited to see what these next four months have in store.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

Sok szeretettel,
Naegle nővér
