Hello Happy: Short letter - lots of pictures!!

The holidays are coming up… It will be Brooke’s second Christmas away from home. I know it would mean a lot to her to have lots of mail during the holidays! Here is her contact info and mailing address in case you would like to send her a note for the holidays! I know she loves pictures and would love to get christmas cards! Letters take a few weeks to get to her… but they go to the mission home first and then only get to her when someone from the Mission home is traveling to their area.

The beloved transfer day has come! It is so funny that we all spend so much time stressing about what is next, when really I have so much faith in my mission president and my Heavenly Father and every call I have ever gotten was exactly what I needed. So this email will be shorter because we dont have too much time!

TRANSFER CALL:

I will be staying in Dunaújváaros another transfer with my adorable companion, Hooper Nővér!!!

At first I was very shocked to be staying yet another transfer, but after being able to sit back and look at the situation, I was not ready to leave. I have so many people here I love so much and know that they still need my help! And I know that there are people I have yet to find that need me too. So all in all, I am extremely excited to see what these next two months have in store for me! Duna can't get rid of me yet! haha I apologize for it being short this week, but here are a few pictures that sum up the week!

^^ Zone Day!! - Dunaújváaros Zone earned this day by meeting goals set by our Mission President. We watched the Lego Movie and played a bunch of games - one being "Box of Lies" from the Jimmy Fallon show.

^^ Don’t worry… I didn’t lie to Sister Szabadkai.

^^In the final round with Elder Miller. I didn’t think he was lying…. so he won!

^^ Sword fight

^^ Dunaújváaros missionaries before transfers. Jensen Elder, Hooper Nővér and myself will stay here in Dunaújváaros.

Miller Elder has now been called to be the AP.

^^ These two nénis are my best friends. they sit out in front of the apartment building talking every day. Many days we sit outside and talk with them! SO happy I dont have to leave these two!!!
