SZIA!!
Have like, one minute,
but conference was awesome, pray to know that what you listened to was true and
if you havent watched I encourage you to do so, it was pwerful and straight
from our loving Father in Heaven. Look to Him in every thought, doubt not and
fear not. (Link to Oct. 2018 General Conference). I love this work and this Gospel that continues to bless my life and
the life of these Hugnarians, no time but I love yall and will hopelfully have

(From Jake's letter to the family...)
Thank zyou for your words, they really helped me and I am
honestly doing SOOOO much better. I really am grateful to see that love God has for me, and
yeah, the life of a missionary is still hard. It is. But I feel I can get
through it much easier now that I have gained a bit of Hope and Real Faith as
Elder Ballard suggested last conference.
Also, let me enlighten
zou to the life of a missionary in the good old town of Tatabánya (did you find
it on the big map??) and heres what it is like:We sleep on a 2 inch foam pad, 2
thin blankets, and yeah. Iáll attach pics for sure. (Didn't get the pictures :) then we move to the bathroom.
Oh the bathroom how I love it....hehe not really no. It has no shower from the
wall, and you have to stand very carefully so as to not flood the bathroom when
you shower, becuase no curtains, and I did that a couple times. Luckily we have
a mop haha! And the toilet is great! Except there is not flush so you use a pot
to flush poop or the shower head itself. So that is fun. We drink our bought
juice out of cartons we marked that are ours (HAHA I HAVE BEEN WAINTNG FOR THIS
DAY) and we eat some awesome Hungarian granole and cereal for breakfast, eggs
the usz. And you would be proud, I made Europaniyed lemon oryo salad (Jake took his favorite recipes from home with him) and Peery
Elder loved it!! So good.
I had an expereince
after my first email where Peery Elder said I follow you on where we street, so
I on my bike 5 days in starting going not knowing where the heck to go, I took
an left, then a right, thaen striaght for a bit, and said hmm that 10 story
looks good. Well we ran into two people who gave us return appointments back to
back, and one is still an investigaotr, and we never made it to said 10 story,
but I was for sure guided by the spirit, there is no other way that would
happen! So cool.
I have also this week
through prayer and study, decided to make Meekness the center of my growth in
the Mission, based of (Elder) Bednars talk, but it isnát just meekness it is everything
associated with meekness, fiath, hope, charity, self restraint, and foresight.
So I will be continuously studying these and applying the principles I learn
into my liufe for sure.
peery elder doesnt run
but I had him ride his bike and I run one morning and that was fun haha! Coops
Hung Beanies and all (Cooper crocheted Jake a hat in the colors of the Hungarian flag--red white, and green and sent it to him before he left the MTC. There was an extra one so maybe Peery Elder got it?)!
I lvoe this gospel and
am definitely better, have stopped worrying about how good I speak and more on
how good I share and just trying my best knowing that is all I am asked to do.
It was a hard shift, but I am good. But I have also missed yall like crazy, I
cried in a lesson when I showed them the pic I have of us and I said I know
families are forever, and that I love yall a ton, I started to tear because I
felt that was true. I miss yall so much and am here for the lord these people
and yall!
Sok Sok Syerettel!!
