This week we were able to go out of Budapest to meet with an investigator. She lives in Mány, about a 45 minute trip by bus. We went with 2 young missionaries out to meet her at her home. This sister was a referral from a member friend who lives in another part of Hungary. Last week she came into Budapest to meet with us and the elders. She has been struggling for quite some time and has been looking for some answers. As we got off the bus we had no idea where to go. The elders called her to get directions to her home. She said she would meet us along the road. We walked up one muddy road then another, still no sign of her. We called again and got more instructions. After walking another 1/2 hour we were finally able to meet where she was waiting for us. After that it was still another 1/2 hour walking to her house. She was so excited to think that we had come all this way to see her. We felt bad that we could only spend a few minutes with her because we were out of time. We had to go back and catch the bus to Budapest before dark.
The elders talked to her as we were walking and found out that she had been reading the Book of Mormon and she felt that it was true. She showed the book to her cousin and had her read a passage in it. After reading, her cousin looked up at her, with tears in her eyes and said, "This book is true."
They are such humble people and live in such humble circumstances but they are so grateful for what they do have. We loved seeing her again and hope she will recognize that the restored gospel can bless her life.
