Waltzing along the Blue Danube...

These crazy languages I'm being exposed to are killin me!  I can't just log on to Google and do a quick search without making sure that it's in English.  It's pretty cool though, really.  I absolutely LOVE the architecture here in Hungary.  I feel like I can't do it justice with my photography, but I sure want to try!  
I still find myself wanting to pinch myself at times just to make sure this is all really real.  I have just spent 6 weeks in South Africa and now I'm spending 4 in Europe and then going back to Africa!  Never in a million years did I think this would become my life.  God is so amazing.  The stories I've heard over these past two months have done nothing but inspire me.  I must be honest with you, I have been humbled by so many and blessed at the same time.  I knew this would be a life-changing experience, but I had no idea what I would see, hear and who I would meet.  Please, keep praying.  I am having a wonderful time and know that God's hand is guiding every step.
Since arriving in Hungary, Montana and I have had the chance to do some sight-seeing.  Today, we went to the school that is right across the street to talk to the students who are studying the English language.  We had the opportunity to make some new friends and will enjoy cultivating those friendships this week.  Tomorrow we are scheduled to go to a homeless shelter and minister.  We will be going back to school on Wednesday and Thursday.  Man, I can honestly say it was fun but I certainly don't want to go back to high school!  Teenagers are teenagers no matter where you are.  Even though, I am so glad we've got this opportunity.  Friday night, we'll be going to a costume party.  I'm kinda excited, I've come up with a pretty cool costume (with Montana & Krisztina's help) from things I already had.  I'll be sure to post pictures.  
So....  On Sunday the church here in Szigetszentmiklos had not only two American visitors, but a group of Gypsies were visiting.  They did the worship and their pastor gave the message.  The service was absolutely amazing.  (Add one more culture to the list of those experienced on this trip!)  After service, we ate lunch at the church.  The Gypsies as well as me and Montana.  I'm not sure if it was simply because we are "exotic" Americans or what, but we were a bit of a novelty, especially among a few of the guys.  **Email me and I'll tell you more, it was quite an interesting meal!**  
Love you all, I pray that God will continue to bless your lives!

I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
