SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 -- WEEK 21: SzombatHEY - SzombatBYE

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 duet with our sweet friend Sandy for district conference! She lives in Pápa with her husband! She is so kind to us, and we love her! The rest of the conference was great! We had so many good snacks and treats! 

We said bye to the Jensen's this week. They are the most amazing people I have ever met. The Lord knew I needed them in my life.!

Sunday was one of the saddest days of my life. I had to say bye to everyone in Szombathely. It really was just so sad. All the cute grandmas were telling me not to cry and that things would be okay. Its hard to leave because I just love everyone so much. I'm so thankful that the Lord has shared just a piece of what He feels for all His children with me. He truly is mindful of us and sends us where we need to go. Thank goodness He sent me to Szombathely. Its the best place and it will forever be so special to me. 

We all went to Győr for p-day! It was raining and cold today. We had to take a bus and a train! We played some card game WITH SO MANY RULES THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND (Roper and Pedersen😭😭😭😭) When we got to Győr we got Spar pékség! We met up with lots of other missionaries and walked to a mall!! I went shopping at H&M!! I haven't been shopping for five months!! IT WAS SO FUN!! We all walked to the branch house and played card games and ping pong!! It was fun to be with everyone! We had to run to the Train station so that we would not miss our train!! We got back to Szombathely and I got my residency card!! We went to the posta one last time and I now am finally legal here in Hungary!! We got Hollywood pizza one last time with the Elders for dinner. 

I truly am so grateful for the friendships I've made during training. Sister Birrell is a gift given from God, just for me. She has been such a great example and friend to me! I would not know what I was doing here, if it wasn't for her. I love you Birrell!! Everyone has been so kind to me and has just loved me here in Szombathely. I don't know how I am supposed to just leave. The Lord needs me in other places, and I am ready to follow His plan for me! 

Szombathely is amazing. Hungary is amazing. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true Church. The happiness and peace the Gospel brings me and others is priceless. Jesus Christ is real. He knows us. He loves us. He is kind and gives us what we need. I love Jesus Christ. 

God. Is. Good. 

(I forgot to send an email last week, so this was last weeks email!!)
