Hi Everyone!

Well...my time in Buda has come to an end. We got transfer calls this morning. I am leaving Buda tomorrow to go open up sisters in Veszprém. And I'm training! I'm a little nervous ;) but it will be a great last transfer I think. It's so weird to think that it will be my last transfer. After I got my call this morning I realized that was the last one I would receive. I remember at the beginning of my mission thinking that the end was so far away and that I would never reach it. But here I am now with only 9 weeks left of my mission. I am excited for this last transfer. I think with a greenie she will have that greenie fire and we can work hard for my last 9 weeks! :)

This week was a great week. Which made it obvious that I was leaving because the week before I leave somewhere always seems to be great!

Hajni
I've mentioned Hajni a few times in my last few emails I think. She was a girl that was baptized while I was serving in Békéscsaba at the beginning of my mission. We met with her earlier this week and she told me some great news. She said she is preparing to serve a mission!!!! My eyes filled up with tears as she told me about her deciding to serve. I remember a year ago when she wanted to get so bad but there were so many obstacles that were getting in the way of that. But finally, she was able to get baptized and now she is planning to serve a mission of her own. I am so proud of her! She helped us with a program this week. It was the first program she had ever helped in and she ROCKED it! She is going to be an incredible missionary!!! :)

András
András is doing great!! We hadn't met with him for over a month and it was making me so sad! But we finally met with him last week and then this week we saw him every day since Wednesday. We met with him a few times and...he came to church!!! That was the first time he had come to church. I was SO excited when I saw him walk in the door! Then we had a final program with him yesterday and he finally said a prayer. I just lost it and started crying haha so embarassing. I am so excited to hear about his progress. He is so great!

Gabi
Another investigator we hadn't met with for a while but finally have been meeting wtih again for the past week is Gabi. She is so great! She is the one who had been continuing to read and pray even during the almost 2 months taht we didn't see her! She told us yesterday that she does want to get baptized there are just some things that will be hard for her to give up. But her faith is so strong and I know that she can do it. I am so sad to be leaving her but I know she'll be okay and I can't wait for the day she is able to be baptized! :)

Well, that's about it for the week! I hope you are all doing well. Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and support!

Sok szeretettel,
