These past two weeks have been good in Érd. I love how many aspects of missionary work still surprise me. There are always new experiences, people, and corners to turn. Speaking of which, my companion is being transferred to Miskolc and I'll be serving with a new sister named Linford nővér from Herriman, Utah! Every companion is like a built in best friend and I'm excited to get to know Linford nővér, too 😊
Highlights from the past two weeks:
Ágnes (who we practice English with) got her DNA test results back and was SO excited to tell us. It's really cool to see Hungarians ancestry because she has pieces from all over but is mostly Asztanazi Jewish. I think a big part of the gathering of the lost tribes of Israel will happen in Eastern Europe. Sunday night we walked down the lane near us to go over and for Parker nővér to say goodbye. Family history is really opening her heart. She started meeting with the Érd sisters to practice English, but now we mostly talk about family history!
Do you remember Timi with cancer? She is still not doing well so we called her a few nights ago to see if she would be able to talk. She had gotten home from the hospital with the news that she can die at any time now. A member in the group chat joined, too, and it was a good conversation. My favorite part was when Parker nővér asked, "Timi, van hited Jézus Krisztusba?" Do you have faith in Jesus Christ? This question helped her won dad with cancer a few years ago. Timi said, "Ya, but it's pretty small." "It doesn't matter how big or small it is." "Oh really? Akkor jó. Akkor van." (Then good, I have faith.) Something about hearing that all in Hungarian over the phone brought us all such a feeling of peace. I wish you could've all felt it too. I know you can feel that same peace if you also have faith in Jesus Christ, no matter how big or small. I love Timi. It is a really special time to be in her life and I'm grateful for it. We just keep praying and loving. ❤️
Even though we didn't know Parker was leaving until Saturday, this week leading up to transfers couldn't have been more perfect. We talked to Melinda in person, Béla joined a lesson with Iza and András, we met with 2 investigators I still hadn't met yet, and we had a really cool district pday hike in a little village up north called Visegrád. All around, it was a good week and there's another transfer right around the corner! Happy March!🍀
Love,
Emma Rae

I'll just attach a bunch today about different random missionary moments :)
The street we walk down, dinner, member visits, saying goodbye to Agnes, district service day... The blurry one is with Iza and András--their nephew took it for us 😅
