You will only become what you are becoming right now! Entrepreneur, Sports Enthusiast, Runner, and Current Mission President of the Hungary Budapest Mission.
Today is a well-timed opportunity to express my love for my wife Christine as I begin my service in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and as we celebrate Valentine’s Day. I was thrilled to have her with me yesterday as we shared thoughts with media about this new phase for us.
@CriddleBenjamin That’s my daughter giving a shout out to our mission, The Hungary Budapest Mission. Elder and Sister Bednar visited our mission last year when our daughter was still with us and they spent lunch with us and our kids. They made our kids feel so special. They are incredible.
This man changed my life. In 1996 he visited our mission and on that very Sunday in Budapest, Hungary he encouraged us to work hard and be true and faithful to our calling. Fast forward 29 years later and I’m now serving as the mission president of the Hungary Budapest Mission. Today doesn’t happen without the encouragement I received from him on that day 29 years ago. I am forever grateful for Elder Holland.

My wife and I took a break today and went golfing. Botaniq Máriavölgy Golf Klub is my favorite golf course I have ever golfed. Absolutely incredible. 40 minutes south of Budapest.

“Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.”
Read that again.
This is what being a “transformational” coach is all about.
Are you about winning or are you about teaching?
Are you about transactions or relationships?
He met with my wife and I three years ago and called us to be mission leaders in Hungary. I will never forget how kind he was when he greeted us in Hungarian and then told us “I am sure you feel very inadequate. Welcome to the club!” He has had such an impact on my life as well as the saints in Hungary. I was visiting the branch in Eger today, where many tears were shed today as members heard the news. He will be missed.
A new “Behind the Scenes of General Conference” video released on Saturday, September 27, highlights the teamwork behind publishing the general conference editions of the Church’s magazines.
Regular issues of the Church magazines can take as long as 10 months to complete, explains Michael Dunford, art director for the “Liahona.” “For general conference, we’re literally doing it in just a few days.”
“At the end of the day, people might not know everything that went into the magazines,” said Garry Garff, a copy editor. “What is most important is that the spirit of the Lord is in it. And that’s our goal.”

The Lord expects us to be peacemakers.
Difficult as it may seem to be, we have the responsibility to pray for those who may persecute us, as Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount.
We need to learn to leave judgment to Him.
Absolutely horrific. My boy was so close to where this happened. So sad! Praying for Charlie and his family as well as the students who witnessed this.
🇭🇺1,025 years as a nation — Hungary has come a long way since its foundation in the year 1000 by King Stephen, a history marked by triumph and prosperity, as well as grievance, betrayal, and devastation. Happy birthday to one of Europe’s oldest Christian nations!
