It’s October already. That’s so great! Fall in the city has been different, but
there are so many new and wonderful things to discover.
The summer
came and went with its challenges and delights of interacting with conference
guests and preparing to move to Budapest.
I was able to lead the Summer of Service girl’s bible study every Sunday night. We spent every week talking about what the
bible says concerning anxiety and what are the things about God that we can rest
in. I was so blessed to spend that time
talking and praying with them. It was
emotionally exhausting, but when you’re in the business of fighting for souls
there are many things that will totally drain you. Yet, is there anything in this world that is
more worth giving our all for?

We successfully
moved at the end of August with the help of great friends. Thankfully, the missionary life has given me
plenty of opportunities to overcome my complete distaste for packing. The semester was off to a fast start in the
beginning of September. Jared was quite
busy with adjusting the church technology to accommodate such a large influx of
students, setting up the bible college office, getting to know how things are
done in Budapest, and getting to know the new students. My activities are still developing, but right
now they consist of helping to host missionary leadership class, helping in the
nursery on Sundays, Hungarian lessons twice a week, getting to know the city,
gospel choir practice on Tuesday nights, hosting the students at our apartment,
and learning how to run a household under the leadership of my husband as we
submit to one another and ultimately to God.

We have
also had the opportunity to visit Vajta on a few occasions and help with some
of the bigger conferences. A few
weekends ago we were able to lead a team of staff and students from Budapest to
help with a high school conference.
Jared travels back more frequently than I as he is still overseeing
their IT needs.

10-day
outreaches are coming up and the students will leave on Friday. We have teams going to Finland, Romania, Germany,
Spain, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia, and the middle-east. Jared and I will be staying in Budapest this
time helping a group of students with the ministries here while most of the
students are gone. Please be in prayer
during this time of October 27th-November 5th.
On a small
side note, last week Luke and his good friend Daryl gave a home concert at a
friend’s house. I was glad to be able to
attend.
I do love taking photos with the band. Go Luke! |
As I look
over our prayer requests from my last post God’s faithfulness has continued in
all of these things, and we thank you all for your prayers and continued
involvement in what God is doing here in Hungary. The school move went as smoothly as it could
have. The staff, interns, and students
worked very diligently to get it done.
Our move went well, and we even found a close parking spot for the
moving van. We still need more support
to stay here and would appreciate your continued prayers in this, but He is
sustaining us. The students are
adjusting. Some are having difficulty just
as we as staff have difficult days of learning to live in Budapest. Some days it’s just hard, and that’s ok. The unity among the team here has been such a
blessing. Please be praying that we
would continue to depend on God for everything.
We are so
thankful for you all. If you would like
to contact us or support us, all our information is at the end of this post.
