Halihó!
What a good week! On Saturday we took muffins to the Bauerék. We hadn't been able to get ahold of them so we just walked over hoping they would be home. And they were! He and his wife were outside playing with their little girls and we were able to talk for about ten minutes! I am always amazed when even after crazy unplanned days we are somehow in the right place at the right time. I am so grateful. It's also so cool to be a missionary and serve until the last day, knowing that even though I won't see the fruits of these efforts, these little ripples will keep going. I know that they will because Heavenly Father is aware of them--so much better than we are!
We also had a special lesson with Iza and András. We had to let them know that the member they were closest to in the ward just passed away and they were so sad. The Spirit was strong as we talked about Jesus Christ and His resurrection, and how missionary work continues beyond the veil. Béla was such a good missionary, teacher, scholar, and friend to everyone. I know that Heavenly Father's plan for us is perfect. We need never fear or doubt because of Jesus Christ, we can be together forever with our families.
I love that this whole week we get to celebrate Jesus Christ, the Resurrection and Easter. This last week of my mission lines up exactly with Christ's final week and resurrection next Sunday. (And General Conference, too.) What a good week--it's like a gold mine of missionary opportunity! This week we are planning to meet with all of our friends atleast one more time. I know they'll keep doing well and I'm so grateful for each of them--Ágnes, Lilla, Alexandra, Gabriella, János. Oh how I will miss them.
I love this work. I love this gospel. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father let's us be a tiny piece in the puzzle and feel His love for these people and places. Today on our pday we hiked up to Gellérts Hedge, where President Nelson dedicated Hungary almost 30 years ago. As we looked out across the whole city (we could even see where I started my mission and lived in training) I was filled with so much gratitude that someday there will be a temple here. I just can't even imagine a pure-white lighted house of the Lord standing here in this country. It will be such a beacon of hope!
I love you, all. I love these Hungarians. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Hurrah for Israel!
Love,
