Getting Settled

In the past three weeks, we have spent many hours unpacking, assembling, and settling. When we first arrived in Budapest, we were greeted with a wonderful apartment (that our landlord has held for us the past year) although sparsely furnished. The first days were filled with shopping for furniture and household items, organizing our belongings and familiarizing ourselves with our neighborhood.

It was rather tiring work, but now that we have mostly finished the tasks, we can sit back and see how God has blessed us even in our short time here. The boys have transitioned amazingly, getting over jet lag and sleeping well even the first night we were here. We have quickly learned the local bus routes and the good places to buy groceries. We have met several of our neighbors, two of which are young adults who speak some English. We have been blessed by new friends in our church community who make us feel so welcome and even translate the Hungarian lessons for us. God has been so good!

Slowly we are starting to learn some Hungarian phrases and vocabulary, which will hopefully improve with our language classes beginning this Monday. Also starting soon is a Friday night Bible study at our home for young adults. We have already enjoyed hosting some of the young people in our home and look forward to getting to know them better and sharing with them how God has changed our lives!

We are preparing for English Camp which begins in just a month. And we are praying that God would supply all that is required for camp. We look forward to working more with our OMS team as well!

We wanted to share a few pictures with you of our apartment and neighborhood. Also a few fun items from the Hungarian grocery! (See slideshow to the right) Also, we have added a link for family videos under the "Link" section to the bottom right. Thank you for your continued prayers. God is working in our lives for sure!

In Christ,
