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

Hello everyone! This was probably one of the saddest weeks of my literal whole life!! I got my transfer call, and I am heading toooooooo, Kispest! So I'm moving to Budapest! My companion will be Merhley Nővér! I am so excited to be moving somewhere new! We are white-washing the area. Kinda scary! I'm so excited to serve there!!  Birrell and I visited many of our members this week! There was one day where we ate Hungarian food for every single meal! I ate more Hungarian food on that day alone than I had my whole mission! We have the best members here in Szombathely!  We had three baptisms on Saturday! It was such a special day. The spirit was so strong and I could just feel Heavenly Father with me. I know I am His daughter and that He loves me so much. We watched a couple get baptized and it was so special to see them come out of the water crying, then hugging the Elders. This church is true. I know that this is Jesus Christ Church, restored to the earth.  I got to sing a ...

Hi everyone! I hope y'all had a great week!!  This week was so crazy!! I know I say this every week, but our week was SO BUSY!  Wednesday we visited some branch members who live about an hour and a half away from Szombathely! It's fun going out to the falus!  We had a concert in Pápa on Thursday and it went well! Before the concert, we had an appointment with a lady we met knocking named Erika. She gave us a house tour! She has a really big and nice house! She is old and lives by herself. She showed us all of her kids room and around her house. She is very kind! We headed to Pápa and listened to some good music that reminded me of my parents! We got lunch together then went to the branch house! The concert went well! A good amount of people came! After we ate cookies and treats!  Saturday was also crazy! We had a branch activity in Köszeg! We met at the branch house and then all drove up to a little park! We played cornhole and taught everyone how to play (shout out ...

Hi everyone!!  We had SUCH a busy week last week! We taught so many lessons!! It's a good thing to be busy as a missionary!!  One of our friends told us she wants to be baptized! We didn't even need to ask her! It was so awesome. The spirit was so strong and I was so happy! I just was crying, it was really special for me and for her!  Instead of sport nap we had karaoke este! IT WAS SO FUN!! Birrell and I went and set everything up about an hour before! We were singing really loud and then we heard the church doors open and Marika Néni walked in and we were so embarrassed! It was so funny! We sang lots of songs and ít was fun to see everyone sing!!  Today for p-day we went hiking! It was fun to be out with everyone in the trees! The hírek took us to the border of Hungary and Austria! It was so cool to look out over Hungary, and then look to the right and see all over Austria. I love being a missionary here! I feel so blessed!  We visited members this week and ha...
