A Real Page Turner

 Buna ziua toata lumea!


Hmm let's see... still quarantined in an apartment in Hungary! It's ok though, because we are able to go outside of friday!! I miss the sun very much haha and I can't wait to actually feel it again at the end of this week:))) I am so so excited to get back to doing actual missionary work after this weird 2 week little vacation.

We watched one of the branches hold their testimony over zoom yesterday and it was actually the sweetest thing. I was able to understand most of it (kinda) and it was really neat to see how pure the peoples testimonies are here. It just reminded me of how simple the Gospel of Jesus Christ really is.

We have been helping to teach lessons with other companionships in Romania over zoom once a day. One of the days, we taught a 15 yr old girl named Patricia. There was tons of noise and distractions  for a majority of the lesson, but right when we got all started bearing our testimonies of Joseph Smith, everything was silent and the spirit was so so strong. Just a little miracle from God right there, if I do say so myself.

Sister Rucker and her family dropped us off Burgers and Fries for dinner Saturday night! It was a nice little treat!

We had a mission wide fast on Sunday for the Romanian borders to open up and that us 9 missionaries here in Hungary will get to go to Romania soon, so that was really cool.

I was reading in 1 Nephi this week and came across this verse in chapter 21: 
"But, behold, Zion hath said: The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me—but he will show that he hath not."
It has been hard for me sometimes not to feel like the Lord has forgotten about me, as I have been stuck in this tiny apartment in Budapest, trying to learn Romanian. And although it is sometimes hard for me to see, I know that God has actually never left me and has been by my side the whole time:)) I invite you all to look a little harder for the hand of God in your lives this week!!!
