What a week to finish off my mission with! This email is gonna be a long one filled with lots of pictures, so get ready!
I have loved serving here in Szombathely so much! The people here
have accepted me with open arms and have truly made me feel so loved and
at home! I could never thank them enough!
For my last real p-day we were able to go hiking in köszeg, a local town that is right on the Austrian border!
 |
| We did a town called Hétforrás and it was amazing! It was so good
to hike again! Infact, it is so close to the border that we received
this text welcoming us to Austria! We are pretty sure we stayed in Hungary the whole time, but
regardless, it was absolutely breath taking! We got up there and they
have a little monument for the settlers of the town, it is really cute!

| On the way down we got to watch the sun set over the hills of Austria. |

| Donát is just
the cutest thing ever! |
On Tuesday at 8AM we received a very interesting phone call...
Tamás, the man we tracted into last Sunday night called and had a favor
to ask. He said that he knew it sounded crazy, but his son, Donát, had
his surgery coming up this past weekend in Czech and his friend that was
going to go with him canceled last minute, but he had to have someone
in the car for the drive to help with Donát. He said that he knew it was a lot to ask, but that he didn't have anyone else to turn to, so he asked
me if I could go to Czech with him to help! Unfortunately that isn't
allowed, so we tried to talk to the members and even found a few who
were willing to drop everything and take a weekend trip to Czech with
Tamás! Luckily things ended up working out, so they didn't have to, but I
just thought it was so cool that he would trust us enough to be willing
to turn to us and ask for help! It definitely was not an accident that
we happened to tract into him when we did! Donát had his surgery and as
far as I know everything went well! Hopefully the sisters will be able
to start meeting with them as soon as they get back to Hungary! Here is a
picture of them from a newspaper article that the national news ran
about them and their situation following his wife's Passing! Donát is just
the cutest thing ever!
 |
| After the phone call, we went and volunteered at the homeless
shelter again! This is our new friend, his name is Ricsi, he is super
sweet and is a graffiti artist! |
That evening we met with "M"! She is doing really well! We
talked more about her experience in church! And read from the Book of
Mormon with her about resurrection, because she is fascinated by it!
Wednesday morning we had a lesson with "M" at 8AM! He had to
cancel our lesson for the night before, and he was busy every night, but
he wanted to meet, so he said he would love to meet at 8AM if we were
down! So we went and Netti is a sweetheart and came with us! It was kind
of a hard lesson, M wasn't his normal bubbly, happy self when he
showed up. I asked him what was up and he informed us that his little
brother was in the hospital with a very rare form of cancer and that
things weren't looking good. It broke my heart to hear that! He prayed
about baptism though, and he honestly has such a desire to learn more
about God and His will for him at this point in my life! He is so
amazing and I know that God will lift him through these hard times!
 |
| On Thursday the weather here was to die for! Like seriously it was so
nice! Infact we decided to have district meeting outside! Elder Fucsh
got really sick this week and was in the hospital from Tuesday to Friday
all by himself, so he wasn't there, but the 5 of us had a good last
district meeting and had some delicious pizza for lunch |
