Our lesson with Zsuzsa last Monday

Sziasztok! 

Zsuzsa! Last Monday evening we had a lesson with her and Kriszti, her member fellowshipper. Kriszti was baptized in August and referred Zsuzsa to the missionaries earlier last year, so they're already really, really close friends. Kriszti had a similar journey as Zsuzsa towards baptism (with smoking) and is such a support to Zsuzsa. The lesson went so well. We love Zsuzsa. 

Meeting randomly in Csepel

Then on Tuesday, we were near the mall in Csepel, and we ran into Zsuzsa and her daughter! We'd spent the day in Csepel because both of our lessons cancelled, so seeing her was a little tender mercy. The Lord knew we needed to be there at that time. After we talked to them for a minute and parted ways, Zsuzsa called us and asked us to come back to the mall. Her daughter had picked out little gifts to give to us. It was so sweet! 

Flowers for Nő nap!

Zsuzsa's been sick for a few weeks, but started to feel well enough to come to church this week. However, on Friday she called and said that she'd woken up with tons of pain in her knee and could barely walk. We prayed so much Friday and Saturday that she'd heal enough to be able to come to church. 

A classic Hungarian csengő bell

A holiday is Hungary is called "Nő Nap" (Girl day), so Arps nővér and I thought it'd be fun to get flowers to deliver to our neighbors and Zsuzsa. We surprised Zsuzsa on Saturday night with the flowers and she was so happy! However, she was still struggling to walk and we felt discouraged that she probably wouldn't come to church the next morning. 

[Side note: on the bus ride home with the flowers for our neighbors, we asked a couple how to celebrate Nő Nap, and they said it's really weird for girls to gifts to other girls. Only boys give flowers to girls. Whoops! Well, we still gave our neighbors the flowers and were glad to have something to laugh about :) 

Sunday at 8 am we called Zsuzsa and guess what!? Her knee was completely better and she came to church!!! Her baptismal date is in 3 weeks and we think she will make it! 

The most amazing thing about miracles is that they happen.

Love,
