the last couple of days have been full but fun, and it has been amazing to be here.
we traveled out to western hungary and stayed with a beautiful family (believers)
it was absolutely incredible and i was able to see so much of the landscape (hours of driving)
my room had a screenless window overlooking homes
fresh flowers
and i felt like those girls in the movies who go vacationing in europe and sit and stare out the window-waiting for inspiration...
bicycles
sunflower fields as far as the eye can see
understanding on average 5 words a day (yes, no, thank you, Jesus, God)
countryside
a six year old with more energy than any kid i have ever seen
the body of Christ
grapevines and hay fields(almost feels like home)
wheat fields
little cars
visiting a house church
video interviews
seeing firsthand the church in hungary
street interviews
fellowship
asking questions
trying to pronounce words on signs
my two wonderful guides laughing at my pronunciation
listening to prayer and worship in another tongue
sitting in on bible studies among those who are searching
coffee with honey
fizzy water
translating
trying to remember phrases, words
reading psalms
reading the adventures of sherlock holmes in my free time
good food
before we left western hungary we visited a couple of bordering countries as well
the mountains in croatia
castle, secret passageways (i wanted to explore but couldn't), moat
a village in slovenia resembling little italy
forests, winding roads
unfinished houses
border crossings
and finally, 4 days later, back in budapest
updating my blog
not using complete sentences
because there is too much to tell
drawing closer to my savior
praying
growing
encouraged
blessed.

So glad to see an update - I keep reading it over again, and thanks for the comment too!
Hm. I lost my book for several days, but Ginger found it under the couch..it's good so far..
Willow has been a vegetarian for two weeks..
Today the girls put a dog collar and leash on the mentally disabled(by all indications, at least) stray cat that follows them around the back yard. It just let them do it.. I found the cat and girls who were "rescuing" it, and after freeing the oblivious feline, I talked with them about how to treat cats..and hid the collar.
I'm doing a short film later this month..at Lake Michigan, so it should be beautiful..
The fireworks were just ok this year, you didn't miss a glorious display by any means.. but I loved them still.
Which movies did you watch? What does one rent in Hungary?
