Wednesday, August 5

This is our last day in Foldes. We were able to accomplish more than we expected. The job kept expanding and the Hungarians worked all the harder along with us as we met the challenge. Our team will move on to Budapest for two days of sightseeing.
Terry and I will be going on to Romania with a team of Hungarians to do lay training with people from Hungary who live there. This is a last minute opportunity that just opened up to us. We regret separating from the team but feel that this is what God wants us to do.
When we were in the Milan airport we met a woman who lived in New Jersey but originally she came from Macedonia. I took a quick look at Acts 16 right then to ask her which cities still existed in that area. The thought of a call to an unexpected land stayed with me.
One of the leading Hungarian pastors had a mild heart attack on Sunday and they asked us to go and fill his spot on the team. With the Macedonian call of Paul fresh in my mind, I decided to go. Please pray for our team as they complete the trip. Also, please pray for Terry and I in Romania.
We will return on August 14th. This had been a great adventure and we look forward to what God has in store for us next week.

Behold I Blog,

Great day today with much accomplished. We have moved from doing a 10x10 room to refacing the entire house. The temperature is about 90 with very high humidity. There is a good working spirit on the site. We are all trying to learn the language.

Tonight we have a BBQ the church grounds. We cooked hot dogs, sausage, and big chunks of salt pork. It was a grease lovers delight! The town mayor came and shared the evening with us. She welcomed us to the town and thanked us for the improvements we are making for the town. I was presented with several books, etc.

This is a wonderful experience. I definitely feel that God is in what we are doing and we continue to appreciate your prayer!

After 18 hours of flying (on 3 different planes) and a 4-hour bus ride, the team has finally arrived safely, albeit tired, in Foldes, Hungary. Pray they rest well and wake up refreshed and ready to go tomorrow morning! FYI - Hungary is 9 hours ahead of us.
