The Last Post From Hungary...



We made one last trip to the Castle.   It is looking so good this year.   Many changes have come to the area to make it much nicer.  One of the changes are the guards at the doors of the President's home.  Just like London.




No smile from this guy!




This girl coaxed a little smile from this one.  He tried hard not to and it was only just slightly, otherwise they were both standing stiff looking a little scary with the Men in Black glasses.





Check out the pointed toe march they do.   It is impressive to watch.




That beautiful gate.  So sad to leave this behind. 



Saturday was a baptism in Pest.   Such a cute little girl.   Don't be fooled, she is 21 years old.   These are all the missionaries involved with her teaching.



These are many of our relief society sisters from Pest.  They have been so sweet and welcoming to us here.  I needed a picture of them.   The cute president (redhead peeking over the shoulder) changed the closing song for me.  It was very tender and sweet.   How hard to say goodbye to them.




The Houck Family.  They are the strength of the Church here.   President Houck is the Stake Patriarch and has recently been set apart as a sealer in the Temple.   Sr. Houck is in the presidency of the YW program for the stake.  Carolina is everything.   The thing she did most for us was translate in church.  She does so many things, it is amazing.   Counselor in the EFY in Germany, very involved in YSA.   A returned missionary having served in the SL Temple Square Mission.  She is amazing.

  

The Balatoni Family.   He is the former Bishop of the Pest Ward.   Now he is in the Mission Presidency.  Amazing strong family. 




And as we drove out of the parking lot a quick good bye to our good Sunday School Teacher, Brother Bishop.  He is one of the best.  Cute family they are from Nebraska.

We have loved being here in Hungary and again mingle with our many friends across the country, to serve with the Senior Missionaries and the young missionaries. 
We have loved getting to meet so many others in all the countries we have travelled in. 
Truly the Gospel of Jesus Christ is spreading and growing stronger all around the world.   We hope that we have been able to add to that growth and strength.  It is a privilege to serve.
