Draga Családom,
Hogy vagytok? I HAVE ONE WEEK AND
1/2 WEEK LEFT!?!?! Where did the time go? I am supposed to be fluent right
now.....and well that hasn't happened. So this is our consecration week! NO
English....Nincs. I will be so frustrated this next week I might die. When you
can't understand your companion and everything you say in this language sounds
harsh and very clock-like, well let's just say people get frustrated. It's
actually quite comical.
I just realized this, this week but
we will be the first 19 year olds in Hungary. Yeah, it took me a while, BUT HOW
COOL! We get our travel plans Friday so I get to call and tell you when I am
calling. A call to call. I don't know when I can start writing personal letters
again. I won't get letters until I have my transfers, which is every 6 weeks.
So...pretty much you will all be strangers to me when I return home :)
My companion and I just spent all of
P-day at the temple and so I can't really think right now. Bochi- Sorry. Today
was so beautiful though. I love the temple. I love serving at the temple and
today we were able to serve many Hungarians. The thought occurred to me that
Hungary- Magyarósag doesn't have temple! The Provo temple has been receiving
TONS of these names over the last two years. These people love their families.
They want all these blessings for their families and I am already serving these
wonderful people here in the temple. It was great. These people really love
their families....I can't wait to tell them about mine and show them all the
pictures of you all! ( I might exclude the butchering ones.)
We are learning so much and yet not
enough. I learned the Huns are like coconuts. Super hard at first but super
sweet on the inside. They said they walk around with just absolutely straight
faces, and that when you teach the first lesson it is super uncomfortable
because you have no idea what they are thinking. That is intimidating. BUT I
CAN DO THIS. I am pumping myself up to just be courageous and share. Pray for
me, kay?
Something that has also impressed me
this week is how special it is to have the spirit with you at all times. I am
carrying around a picture of Christ for consecration week and am trying to
constantly keep him in my thoughts. Why? There is an incredible promise in the
sacrament prayer, if we always remember Christ- We will ALWAYS have his spirit
with us. I don't know of anyone else I'd rather have as a constant companion.
So a few nights ago, I was SUPER tired. I had run 3 miles, class was hard, our
lesson wasn't that great, I was having a hard time with feeling the spirit
and I didn't know why, I was doing all I needed to do?? and I had just
eaten an apple- I don't know what that has to do with being tired. The lights
were turned off and I was sitting in my bed just about ready to sleep. Except
that I could not. It was like one second I could have fallen asleep instantly
and the next I was WIDE awake. I knew something was up. I heard my bunkmate
sniffle a little bit. I kept having this feeling I should ask her if she was
okay, but I tried to justify that she would rather be left alone- she is one of
those people that likes to figure things out herself not a talker ( this is the
sister that is just like me.) Anyways, I just kept feeling like I should ask
her, and I didn't know if it was the spirit of myself so I just asked really
quietly asked if she was okay. She said she was. I felt weird. About five
minutes later she got down from bed and asked if we could talk. It was
about 11:00 and so we went into the janitors closet- and she told me she was
just having the hardest time and how she hated it here- but she was trying to
like it. Anyways, we talked and at the end each of us got the answer we needed
and were able to pray and ask for help. It was beautiful. I want to have the
spirit with me always.
Alright, It took way too long to
write that, I don't know if it makes any sense, I am tired and
my time is up and we are late for dinner. Please do not be offended at the
shortness of this letter. I love you all. I will talk to you soon!
Love Fowers Nővér
