Szia family!!! This week has been such a good week! We only have 2 more weeks left in the transfer....it has gone by so quick! I am hoping to stay in Buda with Sister B and Sister Fresh but we dont think that is going to happen. I will most likely be getting transfered. We will see though.

This week has been super good! Our investigators are doing awesome! I love them so much! We met with one of our progressing investigators a couple of days ago and he taught us and the member the plan of salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He wants to be a missionary so bad! He also brings his little sister and she refuses to pray but he is teaching her about prayer and how important it is. He will be such a great missionary and he is a great example to his family! Unfortunately we couldn't meet with his family yesterday so hopefully we will be able to sometime this week.

We also had two other programs with another investigator. She is awesome and every time we finish with one of her programs we all feel so good! She is so ready for the gospel. She asks questions about everything and she is really sincere and wants to really know if the church is true. She also brought one of her friends to a program with us. She told us yesterday that she really wants to have a happy family. She has been going to doctors and reading lots of books about how to have a good family life but she said she just doesn't feel right about them. Then she told us that she loves seeing how happy the families are here and she wants that in her life. It was an awesome program!!! I love being a missionary!

Fresh and I also had our busiest day so far with Behunin being gone. We had 5 programs and english class that we did on our own. It was super hard and we were both exhausted but I really do believe in the gift of tongues! We were able to understand most of what was being said and we worked really well with each other teaching. We have a long ways to go but we are doing it! The language is so hard but its not the most important thing. People can really feel if you just love them. We met with a new investigator yesterday and during our program he kept pointing to sister Fresh and I and saying something about us not speaking Hungarian (he sounded a little angry and so I thought he was getting mad about us not being able to help very much in the lesson haha) but he was really saying how awesome it was that we would pay to come all the way out here and be in a country that we didnt know, not be able to understand a thing, and be trying so hard. He was super impressed. And he said that he could just see a difference in us. We couldnt say anything but we could be happy. It was a good lesson.

We also got special permission to go to Kecskemét on Saturday for 2 baptisms. Sister B found and taught both of the people getting baptized so we got to go with her to see the baptisms. It was Fresh's first time seeing a baptism in Hungary and it was my first time out of Buda. Hungary is GORGEOUS!!!! Going to the country was so different. I love the city but the country is beautiful too! They have fields of flowers and it was really cool to see all the houses and countryside. They have a ton of forrests here but they arent like forrests back home. All the trees are planted in straight lines and it is because the Soviets planted all the trees like that so that no one could run and hide in the forrests. Kecskemét is gorgeous. It is a pretty small town but it is so clean and quiet. They just got a brand new branch house and it is gorgeous! The baptism was so great and the people they are awesome. They have about 50 people come to church every week and they are all just really close with one another. I loved it! It was so much fun to get to see some other places in Buda. We got a lot of fun pictures.

I just love being a missionary and having this experience. It is so incredibly hard and I feel very inadequate most of the time but I have learned that the Lord really knows each and everyone of His children. We all go through trials for a reason and they can make us stronger if we allow them too. I am so grateful for my Savior and for the opportunity He has given to me to serve the people in Hungary. They are amazing people who have been through a lot in their lives. I love them so much!

I am so glad that you all got to go through the temple as a family. I miss the temple so much and hope that one day a temple will be in Hungary. Family really is the most important thing. We are so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful and supportive family and to be able to be sealed together for time and all eternity. I am so grateful for the Gospel. And I am so incredibly happy that you were all able to go through the temple together. I cannot wait to be able to have our WHOLE family go through when I get home and then we Jan either gets married or goes on a mission :) I love the temple! Make sure to enjoy it as much as you all can for me! Love you all lots!

My first time on a train in Hungary!!! The trains are pretty much exactly like Harry Potter trains.  

We had a lot of fun on the way to kecskemét because we got a compartment to ourselves! It was so fun!


On our way to kecskemét. You cant really capture how pretty it is on a camera especially when you are moving on a train.



The branch house in Kecskemét. Really small but so beautiful! The members are so proud of their branch house!

Kecskemét had fountains and beautiful building everywhere! It was such a clean city!!! I loved it!
