Sister Isabella Tracy -- Hungary Budapest Mission April 2024 - November 2025

  JUNE 19, 2024 Hi everyone!  This last week went by SO fast! This is my last week at the MTC! I leave for Hungary next week! We do not have our flight plans yet, but should be getting them sometime this week! We are all so pumped to get to Hungary! I am going to miss my district so much, but I will see them in Hungary sometimes! We did SYL (Speak Your Language) all week last week! We only spoke Hungarian to each other. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. We spoke Hungarian from 9am to 9pm. I really tried to always speak it. Hopefully I'll remember all the little words I learned. Because we did so well with SYL we get to have a Christmas party! Back in May, I brought up the idea to have a party, AND NOW WE ARE GONNA HAVE ONE! We sang in church as a district on Sunday! We sang, I Know That My Savior Loves Me, one verse in English and one in Hungarian. It was sweet! It is one of my favorite songs from when I was in Primary! Sunday night before bed we walked around ...

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great week! This past week has been eventful! (last week was week 7 so that's why you are getting two week 8 emails -- oopsies) Sister Summers and I gave our first lesson in Hungarian! We tried our best to understand what was being said to us by the person we were teaching and what we were saying! We know enough Hungarian to get through a lesson. I did not know how to say some things so I just had to try my best and use what I know. It is kinda hard for me to remember some of the grammar principles while I am under pressure. I have been working on my memory and creating sentences in my head versus on paper. We have our next lesson tomorrow! Pray for us!  In our class we talk a lot about Hungary and what to expect when we get there. One of my teachers, Brother Boxx, literally has some of the strangest/funniest stories about his mission in Hungary. Hearing the experiences of my teachers makes me SO excited to go to Hungary! It kinda do...

  Hi everyone! This past week was really good!  Today is my dad, Lon Tracy's birthday!  HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAY WISHES TO YOU!! I love you!! You're my favorite dad!! We finally have learned everything we need for Hungarian! There are SO MANY CONJUGATION CHARTS! I understand just about everything when we initially learn it, but as soon as I have apply what we learned I can't remember it!!! I am practicing a lot everyday so its coming slowly but surely!  I officially have three weeks left at the MTC! It's weird to think that I'll be in Hungary at the end of this month! I'm really excited as the days get closer and closer!  Sister Summers and Sister Hansen and I have been practicing a song to sing in church. It's fun singing with others who know how to!  This is our last week with Sister Jones, Elder Huff, and Elder Nehren. They leave tomorrow morning and it's going to be a sad goodbye.  Last week we did a scavenger hunt! The directions were all in Hungarian...
