We started the week with a trip up to good ol' Budapest, where we had Zone Conferences. This time, it was special because we went up to Gellért Hegy, where Hungary was dedicated for the preaching of the Gospel by President Nelson. There, we read highlights from the dedicatory prayer and each rededicated ourselves to serve with all that we have. Looking out over the Danube in a moment of reverent reflection and thinking of all that I have learned in this country, remembering my love and the Savior's love for the Hungarian people, and deciding to rededicate myself to them and to the work was a tender experience that I won't forget.

Zone Conferences were great. The train back to Miskolc was miserable... We caught a bus to a city called Hatvan and transferred to a train from there, but the only train available arrived at midnight.... So we had a very long day hahaha.

Before English class, we met with a smaller group of people who want extra practice and taught a 30/30 lesson (30 minutes English, 30 minutes Gospel). We had 5 people there and for the Gospel part, we took a tour of the Chapel. It was a very sweet little experience and everyone was very curious and had great questions. You could see that they were touched by the Spirit, and it was another tender experience of the week.

On Friday we had exchanges in Eger and I was with Elder Dalton. I was privileged to take Elder Dalton out street contacting on his first day in the country, so it was super fun to be with him for a full 24 hours, almost 6 months later. He's doing great and we had a lot of fun together. Eger is one of the most beautiful cities I've been in! The cobblestone roads, beautiful architecture, and street performers make you feel like you're walking through the scene of a movie.

Kiss Norbi is scheduled to be baptized on June 8th and is very excited. Yesterday, he came to Church with his siblings and Grandma and was looking at the paintings hung up on the wall, asking us questions about them as we admired the art. When he saw the picture of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus, he pointed at it and exclaimed, "Look! I'm going to be baptized too!" It was so cute. We're so excited for and proud of him and his family and their faith.

It is so good to be a missionary. I know that God loves each and every one of us and is personally aware of us. I'm honored and humbled to know that as a set apart servant of Christ, my only job is to invite others to Him all day, every day. I'm so grateful for my mission.

p.s. Fun fact about Hungary that I just learned: Instead of doing a yearbook for graduation, they put up pictures of all of the students who graduated in the windows of stores for everyone to see. The other day, we stopped to look at the pictures and as we were walking down the street afterward, we noticed one of the kids whom we saw in the store window and stopped him and talked to him by name. I'm sure that freaked him out hahaha.
