This week we traveled to Sopron, a small city nestled in the foothills of the Alps. It is just a stones throw from the Austrian border, a picture perfect baroque town jam -packed with historic buildings. Our assignment was to secure a new elders apartment. A two and half hour drive from Budapest made for a nice day trip. We enjoyed the beautiful sights along the way. We passed fields and fields of sunflowers, in full bloom. They are used for producing sunflower oil. We also enjoyed the many Stork nests on tops of light poles and even one on a chimney top. We love all of these Hungarian cities, each of them with their own unique beauty.

Another wonderful week in the mission has come and gone. We can hardly believe that we have been here nearly seven months. We love serving these wonderful people. We have learned so much about their history and culture and are saddened by all the suffering and hardships that they have had to endure. We see great things happening here and know that the Lord is mindful of them and great blessings await them as they accept the gospel and act on their faith.
"If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing." Henry B. Eyring
