I wanted to make a decision. I wanted to start all over again. I wanted to stop with several things. I just didn't know how further. During the two months in France have I really realized, that everything I believed is confusion, it was a mess. I was now sure, that evolution just cannot work out. I was sure, that there is a God who created the world... and that just made me feel how much responsible I was for every decision I had...

I saw that there is a deeper issue in the heart. You see sin separates us from God. It is dwelling in us ever since the first people sinned. It just moved into our heart. We could be trying as much as we wanted, we would be never be able to be perfect. You might say that's okay, nobody is perfect... But I really wanted sin out of my life! No religion gives solution from getting free from sins! Nothing!

Our stay in France was about to end. Before we would continue our studies in the Netherlands we would have about a week holiday. I was wondering what to do. I didn't want to go back to Hungary for a week, but I also didn't want to stay alone the whole week...

My friend, also was hesitating what to do. One evening he asked me: "Have you ever seen something like this?" - sending me a video where people were healing others. I answered him that it was indeed interesting. Then he asked me, would you like to see something like this in real? I was like: "Sure, why not." Then he asked me: "Would you like to hitch-hike (backpacking) to Denmark? We could go tomorrow." I was a bit surprised, but I always wanted to make such a big trip so for some crazy reason I said yes. And then a journey of 1300 km-s begin.

Eventually we arrived in just two days! We headed out in the morning and the next evening we already arrived at dinner time. We met several interesting people on the way and many interesting stories. There was a lady for example who was living in a van. She was escaping from her ex-husband who somehow always found her and was chasing her.

Their warm welcome just really touched me. They didn't really go into why we came, how we came, they invited us for dinner immediately. Originally we were planning to go to a different location, but we were already on the roads when it was canceled. My friend has written to this school where they were teaching people how to heal the sick, but we couldn't get an answer from them in time, for we have arrived earlier than they could response. Nevertheless they invited us as if we were their family.

During that time I already had the decided that I would like to start a new life, so that issue of the heart would be solved. People tried for thousands of years to be better, but it never really worked out. The gospel is something else. Jesus didn't just come to the Earth so that we can have a better life. He came to restore the lost relationship between men and God. He came to fix that deeper issue of the heart. He came to replace our sinful nature so that we can have His nature. He came to bear our sicknesses so that we can bear His health, He came so that we can walk free from our sins!

I knew I deserved a punishment for all my sins. I knew I would have to go hell. Because when we commit a crime, we are eligible of punishment. I didn't want that... I wanted really to be different. I wanted to be happy! I knew I had to repent, to confess my sins to God and ask for forgiveness for my sins. I knew from Romans 5 and 6 (some chapters from the New Testament, from the Bible), that God is willing to forgive and our sins can be washed away when we get baptized, immersed underwater in His name. And I wanted that. It was not the miracles that convinced me. The realization that there cannot be evolution, there must be a God, and this God is living, doing things and speaking to us made me realize my need for Him.

So, one of those evening I made the big step. I decided that I will try to talk to God. I asked him to forgive me for all the things I have done. For lying, for stealing, for doing evil. The same evening I went underwater and was baptized.

This was the beginning of a whole new journey. Finally my heart was healed!
