Welcome friends and family of Elder Gaufin! This blog is dedicated to the adventures and experiences Doug will have on his mission to Budapest, Hungary. We will do our best to keep it up-to-date with the letters and pictures he sends us. Please feel free to leave your comments, as we will definitely pass those along. Thanks for all of your love and support for Elder Gaufin!

Elder Doug Gaufin Hungary Budapest Mission Hajnóczy József utca 14 H-1122 Budapest HUNGARY

Gentle reminder: Doug's first priority is his mission. His P-days are busy and he doesn't have a ton of time to write letters. Please don't be discouraged from writing to him if he is unable to write back immediately. He loves you and truly appreciates your support and letters (they are gold!) Keep writing and check in with the blog for consistent updates.
PACKAGES
PACKAGES - Please read BEFORE sending.
The mission sent us this information for packages:
Please use the following address format to send packages to your missionary in Hungary. Do not include the mission office name in the address because that causes the packages to automatically go to the main customs office for an assessment of customs fees to be charged since the post office thinks the mission office is a business. Elder Doug Gaufin Budapest Hajnóczy József utca 14 1122 HUNGARY
We recommend that if you are sending new items such as shirts, CDs, or any electronic items, you remove the original packing and any indication of price to avoid the receiving missionary having to spend time in the main customs office trying to recover the presents. Please remember almost every box that enters Hungary will be opened and inspected by the customs officers who work in the post offices so please do not try to send personal correspondence in boxes shipped at discount rates.
Doug"s Missionary Commission
“I am called of God. My authority is above that of the Kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master, and He has chosen me to represent Him – to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my words are his words, and my doctrine is His doctrine. My commission is to do what He wants done; to say what he wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of His great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling.”
