Missing you!!

To all family and friends we miss you very much!!

Sorry it has been more than a week since our last post. We are now going into our third week of school and it feels like we have only been here a few days! For now we are already getting closer to our midterms and papers due, its been a bit hectic! I have been leading worship for morning devos and it has been such a blessing. I have had to stretch myself as a musician and learn HUNGARIAN!!! The worship songs are usually all the ones we play in Boise, only in Hungarian. I play a few in English as most people can also speak English, whether its a first or second language. To help augment my abilities, I have joined the beginner Hungarian language class. Its pretty fun as I do enjoy languages and learning about different cultures.  Jonathan is in the intermediate class as he has already spent 3 semesters here prior. His accent and knowledge of vocabulary have really helped him, and he is well on his way to learning the second most difficult language in the world. We are currently praying about where to spend our 10 day outreach, as we have opportunities to go to Scotland, Ireland, Romania, Kyrgyzstan, and obviously Hungary. We are leaning towards Hungary as it would be the most cost effective. But pray for us that we would be wise and the Lord would lead us. As for my new favorite food here, Milka chocolate bars! The carmel and chocolate dessert are my favorite. They are sold in many places in Europe. Also the boci brand, (pronounced Bo-scee) has an amazing chocolate bar with pieces of pear in it. Who knew pears and chocolate could taste so good? Anyways miss you all! Over and Out!!

Finally here!!

We have finally made it to Vajta Hungary! We left from Phoenix, Arizona at 9:15 pm and arrived in Budapest at 9:35 at night the next day. Our flights had no delays and for once I was not searched at every stop by TSA! We were greeted by one of the interns and then drove another 2 hours to get to the very small town of vajta. The campus is gorgeous, an old renovated castle in the hungarian countryside. So far we have not been up to much. Just going through orientation and meeting the other students. This semester in Hungary there are 18 countries represented! Anywhere from Pakistan, India and China to the Artic Circle, Rwanda and all four corners of Europe. This is probably one of the most diverse campuses and possibly even semesters there has been in a long time. Praise the Lord that there is unity in diversity! I have had the privelage of walking into town and visiting the Local bakery on my second day... I of course went for all the bread and chocolate treats they had, including a very interesting chochechige... or chocolate snail. Its really just a cinamon roll but instead of cinnamon and frosting it had just chocolate on the inside! So amazingly delicious. And whats even more amazing is it cost less than a dollar! I will post some pictures to facebook very soon of the campus and photos of our recent snowfall! Thanks for following, We love and miss you all!
