Dear Family,
Well this is it. The last email I will send you as a missionary! Like talk about nutty. We had one program this morning and then we have 2 later today and that will be the end of my missionary work here in Hungary. This is so strange.

Get ready for some sappyness.
So this week was super hard work wise,
well no everything wise. Because it was a holiday everyone left the
capital so a lot of our investigators couldn't meet and for some
reason finding was not very fruitful this week. It was rough, not
going to lie. With trying to keep my thoughts focused on the work and
keep from being trunky. At some points I totally felt like a failure
of a missionary. so that was rough. But the Lord is so aware of all
of us. Throughout the week at random times (in an art musuem on the
holiday, a member texting, during language study, during the firework
show) He kept giving me confirmations that I served my mission well.
That he was proud of me and the work that I was able to accomplish
here in Hungary was what he sent me here to do. They were such small,
powerful, spiritual moments throughout the week. I am grateful that I
got to go through this hard week inorder to obtain those treasured
spiritual moments. It was how I always imagined it would be. Getting
the confirmation from the Lord that I did what he sent me here to
Hungary today. I love my mission. I am so grateful for this year and
a half when I have had the oppertunity to serve the Lord with my
whole heart, might, mind, and strength. I don't want it to end. You
know it is so true. The joy you receive from sharing the gospel and
helping to bring Heavenly Father's Children until him is like no
other.
I love you all and of course I am so
excited to see you!!!
Don't judge me too hard if I can't
carry on a conversation any more. Like I have no idea what normal
people talk about when they talk.
See ya on the other side :)

Oh yeah church was super good this
week. Barnabás who got baptized last transfer passed the
sacrament and spoke in church. It was so neat to see the progression
in him. He is also getting a calling on Sunday. The enduring to
the end part so totally the best part and sometimes we are priviliged
to see it for like month. It is so neat.
The relief society here loves me so they had me bare my testimony and say the closing prayer it was super cute. I have totally gained a testimony of relief society here in Buda. seriously. before my mission wasn't really a fan. I always went but like I thought it was kind of lame. but here i really understand the purpose of it and have seen how it can help. I love my mission. It isn't possible to write it all down.
ok now I am done.
