It's getting super cold. We saw snow this week! It was pretty pitiful, but it was still snow. I'll take it over the rain!

Remember Péter? Things got crazy with him - in a good way. We were surprised to see a message from him on Facebook, which said, "Hey Elders! I simply can't free myself from the Book of Mormon. I tried going back to the Catholic church, but it's not really going... What should I do?" Dumbfounded, we asked, "Do you think that God is trying to tell you that the Book of Mormon is true?" He responded, "I believe that there is truth in the book and that God can speak to me through it." Long story short, he's giving it another chance and we're meeting on Wednesday. What an impressive display of the converting power of the Book of Mormon, partnered with the Holy Ghost!

Christmas is a great time to share the Gospel. We went caroling door to door last week, and were invited to come back by a family! We shared the story of the birth of the Savior, and they loved it. They're super duper religious, and very faithful to their Church, so they didn't want to meet with us further, but we left them with a copy of the Book of Mormon and a light the world calendar, and definitely a good impression. The family had 3 young children between the ages of 6 and 12 and they were seriously the cutest, most well behaved kids ever. I'm sure they'll remember the time two American missionaries came to their house to share the Christmas story with them, and maybe in the future this will lead to something later. Who knows?  



Other highlights:
-We got a new shower installed. It was honestly put in pretty terribly, and our house was left a mess... and to top it all off, the new shower leaks.... but thank goodness we got a "new" shower! Hahaha
-The Assistants' apartment is being painted, so they're staying in our apartment while we're on exchanges in Dunaújváros this week
-We got lost in a super sketchy little farm village. Long story, but an awesome adventure!
-We got sushi from some new sushi place. Unfortunately, we won't be doing that again haha

Not much else to report. Things are good!

Have a wonderful week!

Szeretettel,

Burnett elder
