July 15, 2024 -- WEEK 12

Hi everyone!! I hope you all had a fabulous week!! Happy summer!!

This last went by so quickly! It's SO hot here!! 

A sweet member here in Szombathely had us over for dinner and then took us to lavender fields! It was honestly so surreal. Driving out of the city and into the countryside was so beautiful. It was exactly what I imagined Hungary to be like! We walked through the lavender and all that was going through my mind was the song "My Heavenly Father Loves Me". I felt the spirit so strong as I was admiring all the pretty things that God put on the earth for you and for me! 




I think I'm almost adjusted to the time here! I am 7 hours ahead of Missouri time. The first few days were so hard to stay awake! I was falling asleep every time I sat down for longer than five minutes. 

English class! This week was fun! A nice man who attends brought me a chocolate bar because it was my name day!! In Hungary they celebrate name days! It for real was so sweet! 

We had a branch party on Saturday! The Jensen's brought food and games for us to play! It was so fun! There were water balloons and other water games! It was nice to have everyone together!

We went knocking one day and no one was listening to us. We got to one house and a nice woman opened the door and we talked with her! She wasn't interested in learning about the gospel but we stood and talked with her for about fifteen minutes! It was awesome because I was understanding almost all of what she was saying and was able to communicate with her what I was wanting to say! It was good to see that I am really progressing in Hungarian! I am proud of how far I have come in my speaking skills!

Church was good as always! After we went to the Jensen's for dinner! They are so kind to us! 

Today is p-day! The Jensen's took us and the elders to Metro! It's kinda like Costco! It felt like I was in a home-depot but it was food! It was fun to browse and look at all the things! We ate Chinese food at the missionary famous NAGY FAL! It was actually pretty good! We walked to the branch house after!

I am in awe every single day that I get to live here in Hungary! Sister Birrell and I talk about that every single day! The Lord is good to me and I see Him in everything I do! 

This week I would like to invite you all to have an eye of service. Plan ways to serve and then look for ways you can throughout the week! Mosiah 2:17 --

"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

When we serve others, we are serving God! I know that as you do this you will have a greater appreciation for the people around you, and will have a deeper love for them!

This next week will be great for y'all, and if it's not, make it great! Don't wait for someone to do it for you!

I love you guys! Thank you for sending me sweet messages and being my cheerleaders from halfway across the world! 

I love Jesus Christ! I love Hungary! Being a missionary is the best!

MAKE THIS WEEK AWESOME!!!

talk to y'all soon <3

Hi everyone! Happy Spring! It's getting so warm here!  We had transfers this last Wednesday. I am staying in Nyíregyháza and am companions with Sister Smith!  The first week of the transfer was good! We have been on the "finding grind"!  I feel very happy here in my city! The members are the sweetest and I just feel so loved! They all said they are going to throw me a birthday party this week! I can't believe I am going to be 20!! That's lowkey so old!  We went to Miskolc for p-day and met up with some other missionaries!  I have been seeing God's hand in my life so much lately. Everything really is a gift from God! I have been studying a lot about my divine identity and why it's important to know who we are!  "...all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator" Alma 30:...

Hello sweet friends!  Everyday was so long, and now finally the week is over! Hallelujah  We went to Székesfehérvár for an exchange and it high-key was so fun! I used to not really lime exchanges when I was younger in the mission, but now they are actually so fun! I was with Sister Hall!! SO FUN TO BE W THE SZÉKES SISTERS!!! I LOVE MY MISSION FRIENDS SO MUCH!!  I've low-key been sick all week but that doesn't stop the work no no! We set a goal to find four new people to teach, and we found eight! That's my miracle for the week!  A little spiritual thought ️ But that the world may know that I love the Father; and  as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do . John 14:31 I love this scripture. The world can know that I  LOVE  my Heavenly Father, and that I  WILL  follow Him and do the things we are commanded!  I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that  the Lord giveth no commandments unto the child...

  was feeling so thankful that I got to stay because I have whitewashed Hi everyone!  Transfers were last week and I got to stay in my area with Sister Telles  I was feeling so thankful that I got to stay because I have whitewashed three transfers in a row!  This was a hard week for me. I hit my NINE months which is exciting! I literally cannot believe that I am halfway. I'm starting my 6th transfer, and after this I have six left so my time in Hungary is just about half done. There was nothing in particular that was the worst, just the little things throughout the week just sucked a little! But this next week will be better because I will make it better!  I cut Sis Telles bangs AND THEY LOOK SO GOOD!!  AND I ALSO GOT MY INTERNATIONALS DRIVERS  LICENSE!  I can finally drive! It's been nine months since I last drove! I drove today and literally it was so strange to drive again!!  Yesterday was one of my favorite Sundays of my mission! There wa...
