Summing Up

Last Thursday was a very fun and relaxing day for me. After work, I went to Lilla's dance performance and then to Beni's soccer party for a little while. I love my little siblings here! It was fun to see them in the things that they love.

On Saturday, I had an easy restful morning (much needed!), and then I joined the Roswell team for sightseeing! We went to Heroes Square, St. Stephen's (I hadn't been there since my first time in Hungary, so it was great to go back. Unfortunately, the palce where you can see St. Stephen's preserved hand was closed), and the castle district. Once we made it to the Fishermen's Bastion, I led the way to the best ice cream in the world. It seriously is so good. Members of the Roswell team agree with me! That night, we had a celebration dinner for the Roswell team at a wine cellar. It was fun to get to spend time with them and with the Paulus staff!

Sunday morning, I got up and headed to church! There was no translation, but it was a really nice time of reflection over the past couple of weeks. That afternoon, I ended up taking my laundry to the Kazars' house (they have a big washer and a drier). They invited me for dinner, and then Esther and I decided to watch Singing In The Rain because we had been talking about doing that for weeks. Since we didn't start the movie till 9:30, I spent the night at their house. It was so fun to be back with them!

Now it is the week that the first MBCC team comes! I cannot believe it is already here. They are actually leaving the USA Tuesday, but they won't get here till Wednesday. That's so crazy to me! I'm finishing up some work for Converse, but really my "internship" job is finished; now it is just helping with Converse and the next English camp (which are great things, and I'm very excited about them!). This first month has absolutely flown by. I never feel like I am 5,000 miles from home. I cannot believe the things that I have done this first month, from ropes courses to English classes to scene painting to financial reports (yes, Mama, I prepared a financial report. Trust me, I never thought I'd be doing that either!). I am very excited about Balaton (the youth retreat) and Converse in the next week and a half. I'm also very excited for Nova (the church retreat) and the other English camp! So there is still much ahead, for which I am very thankful!
