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

Dear friends and family, welcome to my last email! My last week in Hungary was spent with some of my favorite people. We ate good Hungarian food, and reminisced on good memories.  President Wall and his wife came down to Kaposvár and took us out to lunch because we memorized all the scriptures! It was fun to be with them one last time and talk about funny things from the mission.  We went to Pécs for an exchange, my last one ever! I spent the day with Sister Pinson! I love her so much.

This week was especially joyful. We met so many wonderful people out on the streets. We even had one of our referrals pull up to church yesterday! The work is working in Kaposvár.  On November 1st, there was a holiday called All Saints Day. Everyone goes to the cemetery to put candles and flowers on their loved ones graves. Sister Tab and I went for a walk through the cemetery and it was such a special experience. It was so beautiful seeing all of these people going to remember their families. It made me think so much about God and how families are such an important part in His plan. It was so somber. I'll never forget it.  Th...
