Happy Transfer Day!

This round was actually pretty funny. Elder Hough was told his call a few days early and took off to Győr after MLC yesterday. Elder Peery and I, however, never got a call, so at around 11 this morning, we texted President Hettinger asking, "So are we staying together or what?" and his response was simply, "Dream team!" So I guess that means I'll be staying in Miskolc for another 5 weeks at least hahaha.

This week, we met with Gergő and had an awesome lesson about Family History. He was so excited about the notion that he had ancestors on the other side who were cheering him on and that wanted to help him to help them perform saving ordinances in the Temple. It was a super tender lesson and he was so touched. We all felt the Spirit of Elijah and are so excited for Gergő!

As I alluded to above, we had MLC on Monday. Getting there was quite an adventure... Long story short, because of some work they're doing on the railway, we took a train to a city called Hatvan, where we transferred to a bus that took us the rest of the way to Budapest. Well, we thought the bus would go directly to Budapest, but it ended up driving us all around the outlying cities and dropped us off in the middle of Narnia (not actually Narnia, but a small city called Rákos which funnily means either "cancerous" or "crabby") We waited there for about 30 minutes before catching a train to Budapest. Once in Budapest we had to take a bus to a tram station and then a tram to the mission home.... It was a long, long night but we made it!

 

 

MLC was combined with the Romanian missionaries, which is always super fun. We mostly discussed technology and prepared for the Mission to get smart phones, will supposedly will happen in "the near future". Not sure what that means, but it'll be great to have smart phones. With the coming technology and Budapest Temple, there is a feeling of excitement in the air and we know that the Lord has big things in store for Hungary! Seriously, these are game changers.

Every day I hit the pillow grateful to be a missionary. I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned and that the Lord has been so carefully involved in my life. I know that He guides us and loves each and every one of us personally. The more I understand my relationship with God, the better I am able to rely on Him and feel support from Him. I trust Him and know that His plan for us is perfect and personal. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ and know that it has blessed my life in every way.

Life is good!

Szeretettel,

Elder Burnett
