The weeks don't get any better than this. A busy week included work in the mission home office, discussions with the Elders and Sisters, bearing testimony with new friends, super activities with the YSA, then the week was caped off Saturday by attending a baptism of a close friend. Sister Peterson and I have been the member present while Klara has been taught the gospel. She was first contacted by the Elders while they were knocking on doors March 15th, just six weeks after we arrived here in Hungary. As she learned about the restored church she wanted to know more and more. She loved the Book of Mormon and read it through in just a couple of weeks. In fact her thirst for knowledge was so great that everything we brought her to read, she had read it completely by our next visit. She has been blessed with several spiritual experiences that have confirmed the truth of what she was being taught. We were so happy when she told us that she wanted to be baptized despite her concerns what friends and family might think. Klara is a retired school teacher and mother of 2, with 5 grand children. We know that she will be able to bless her family and the ward here in Budapest as she serves her Heavenly Father.
The joy and love that comes from helping others find the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is what missionary service is all about. We love serving the people of Hungary.

"And moreover, I would desire that you should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual: and if they hold out faithful to the end they are recieved into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true: for the Lord God hath spoken it" Mosiah 2:41
