The Best Two Years

Well this is super weird, because this will be my last group email I send.

I can't believe 2 years is up!  It's been really insane how fast time has flown.  I'm really sorry guys but I just really don't want to go home!  My heart will stay in this country, with this people.  Though even more amazing than this beautiful country, language and people is the ever encompassing love of Jesus Christ.  He is no stranger to Hungary.  He knows the hearts of everyone in the world.  I see Him minister in the lives of many people.  I see Him minister in my life.  I feel His presence and love when I pray, when I listen to and read His word from the mouths of prophets throughout the ages.

The most happiness I've ever experienced has been in the service of others.  I want to continue that pattern throughout my life!  I want to be in a habit of setting goals and always having a plan for every hour of my day.  I don't really want free time, I always want to have a purpose in everything that I do.

This last week was pretty good.  We met with a few members and a lot of people that we teach.  I went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders from Dunaújváros and a church member came up to see me and say hi.  We did a lot of bannering at Széll Kálmán Tér.  While we were talking to a group of young kids, a kind of crazy man came up to us and said, "YE ARE THE KINGS!!!"  he then told me about Canada and it's large and beautiful forests.

We've been talking to a lot of people about prophets, a few even looked up Russell M. Nelson on their phones.  He exists people, look him up!

I love you all and am excited to see you all soon!

may the peace of Christ be with you,
