Hey everyone!!! It was a pretty great week!!!!
We had an awesome lesson this week with Szabolcs again and he's really moving along quite well. We met and he shared that he had read the first 11 chapters in the Book of Mormon already and we spent the lesson following up and answering his questions. He has a lot of questions of understanding and because of that, he has a desire to continue to read which has been awesome to see. He really wants to come to church, but is afraid because it is in Romanian and he is Hungarian. But once we reassured him that there are other members that speak Hungarian, he said he has no problem coming then. I hope we can get him to church and continue to teach him, hopefully about the Plan of Salvation next because that's where his questions have been leading him, but I have a great hope for the future.
We are still focusing on working with members to find new people and helping them come to church and it's been really great. We are still doing Come, Follow Me with Emil and because of that, he came to church once again, even though he worked that morning as well. He bolted to the church and managed to be there for a little bit. It was awesome to see him and he's really liking the Come, Follow Me program in our meetings. We're trying to help him do missionary work as well, but that's still a struggle. We're hoping, however, that our meetings help him grow confidence to share the Gospel with those around him. Nevertheless, I love him and I love being able to work with him and see him grow as we have been meeting with him.
We also had an exchange with the elders from Sibiu this week and I was with Elder Church. It was a great time and we just rocked the day! We went sports contacting and met some pretty cool people by just playing basketball. A few were interested in learning more about what we believe so hopefully we can start something with these people and get them coming to church!! But we found awesome people and had great lessons as we tried to bring souls unto Christ!!
I really love the words of the great hymn "Rise Up, O Men of God" which say...
May we rise up as men and women of God to serve with our heart, soul, mind, and strength the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Prince of Peace, the Bread of Life, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Light and Life of the World, our Savior and Redeemer, even Jesus Christ. I love you all and I hope you have a great week!!!
Va iubesc,
Elder Bowen

Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of Kings.
