Sziatok!
This week has been rough honestly, but hey I got the Lord on my side! The language has been rough and I seem to be falling behind in practically everything it seems... In my lessons I seem to drive the struggle bus as opposed to riding the struggle bus. Good news is that my shoulder is treatable! Shoulder Bursitis is what I have it still sucks a ton but hey I'll be okay with physical therapy and the drugs the doctor gave me. Other than my faith being tried a lot this week, things have been pretty good! Hawker Nover and I still have an amazing relationship, we had a pretty intense heart to heart this last week to where she broke down in front of me and we went into an empty class room and just talked about everything. That was a building moment for me and for us honestly. She isn't the emotional type at all, and I am totally okay with that I love her the way she is, and she is amazing. The fact that she trusted me enough to cry and confide in me was amazing, I love that girl. So remember Seeger? The amazing Elder in the Finnish District that gave me an amazing blessing that made me want to convert everyone I talked to? Well... He got sent home the day after my blessing. He was diagnosed with Server OCD and the councilor said that it could turn violent if he didn't get it taken care of. It seriously broke my heart, he was one of the most amazing Elders here. He had faith like a giant and a power house testimony. I wish him the best and still continue to pray for him. We teach two "member lessons" tonight with return missionary Hungarians, they each have to be 20 minutes long and we need to get to know our members. That'll be at seven tonight so that'll be a challenge but one I am looking forward to! I've been stressing but I'm trying not to because Iv'e noticed with you stress your faith wavers. So I'm working on that, been an interesting two weeks! I saw Annie Averett today! She is lives in my residence hall too! How crazy is that?! Too bad I couldn't get a picture with her... I was pretty bummed I couldn't but next letter for sure! Uhm... The MTC food makes me want to die a little bit everyday I am not going to lie... My stomach has been freaking out and my body does not agree with what I have been putting into it. Except for Ice Cream, Ice Cream is always good for you. So fun fact, I've lost like 5 pounds since I've been here.... super weird right? I thought I was going to gain 5 not lose them... I'm trying to think if there is anything I'm missing... OH! Mom and Dad I got your package and you guys are awesome. We hung the Darth Vader poster on the door and put "serving our Father" on the door! Our other roommates smell pretty bad honestly... I thought It was me for awhile but it's not! Two of the three other girls shower maybe once a week it's pretty bad... Today we walked into our residence and it smelt like feet and BO so we went and got air fresheners from the book store and masked the entire room with it... Saved my life this morning. Kennedy's I got your package too! Thank you so much you guys are awesome! Sorry this email is all over the place my mind is just going a million miles a minute honestly. I keep thinking about the 3 hour study of Hungarian that is coming up since my companion wants to take a nap and I feel so behind so I'll be hitting the books praying that I'll help me out this week and tonight! Well I survived week two of the nine weeks i'll be at the MTC! It's been a roller coaster but I know it'll be worth it in the end. I know the Lord won't give me anything I can't handle and that sometimes he just wants to stretch me a little bit. I'm okay with that! Even if I'm not I'll keep telling myself that I am! There are three things that keep me going and keep here here every day when I think them they are.
You have the Savior of the World on Your Side How Can You Fail?
Preach the Gospel at All times, and when necessary use words.
"Be The Hero Jane Things You Are and That Heavenly Father Knows You Can Become" (thanks Erin!)
Here are some of the phrases I say a lot:
NEM WAY (No Way!)
AH NEM (oh no!)
Forcsa vagy (you're weird)
It's been pretty fun I guess during a lesson Rogers Elder was dealing with an investigator who said prayer was weird and without hesitation he says "NEM FORCSA" so anytime someone talks about prayer we are obligated to say that.
Also got made fun of by some Elders today for doing lunges on the way to the book store... I appreciated pants.... but not as much as I do now. There is so much more room for activities...
PLEASE keep the Dear Elders Coming just tell me about you, what's going on with you and all that Jazz. Gospel stuff is great but I want to hear about you!
Mom and Dad, will you send me my Pirates Hat, and navy blue shirt with the Cat Pocket? When and if you can of course! I love you guys and I'm surviving and enduring to the end! Here is a little taste of my testimony in Hungarian. It's super rusty but here it goes....
Tudom Hogy Isten Szeret McBride Nover es vagy. Szeretem Jezus Kristus. Tudom Communcal Fonos Jezus Krisztus es Mennyi Aytank. Szeretem evangeluim es engesteles, Tudom Isten elo. Jezus Krisztus Neveben Amen.
** I challenge the ward to find family names and do the work for them. I know they will be blessed as they do this. Those people that you do the work for are your personal guardian angels and I personally have felt them lift me up every single day this rough week. Especially Aunt Baby. I love you guys I'll see you next week :)
