It's a Wrap!

Once again, two weeks of English Camp flew by in a flash. We were so blessed to have a wonderful staff and wonderful campers this year! Below is a video of some of our adventures. Enjoy!

Just for a Moment

Summer is definitely our busiest time of the year. With school ending and preparations for our Summer English Camps, we hardly find time to sit and enjoy a warm summer evening or to take the boys for a leisurely bike ride. This morning, as we were heading out to church, Carter offered to help Grant down the steps and out to the sidewalk. He took his little hand and carefully maneuvered the uneven walkway beside our apartment building. And as Jonathan and I were following slightly behind, I said to him "Don't you just love moments like this?" Fortunately I was quick enough to grab my cell phone and snap a photo of the two walking hand in hand.

It seems in the busy times of our lives, it can be easy to miss special little moments with our boys, or to overlook their subtle interactions. We truly are blessed to have them along side us as we minister in Hungary. Not only do they get to experience and witness God's work first hand, but we also have the enjoyment of sharing those experiences with them too.

Thanks, Carter and Grant, for being Little Lights for Jesus in our lives and the lives of all those you meet.

Love,

Your Mommy & Daddy

Summer in Full Swing

So, I realized this week that it has been almost a month since our last blog update! Let me assure you, it is not due to a lack of news. To the contrary, we have been so busy! Summer has finally arrived in Budapest along with it's numerous activities and goings on.

In the last few weeks of May, we have been finalizing plans for our Summer English Camp. Jonathan has been assisting with curriculum planning. We have also both been involved in the marketing aspects through brochure design.

The Friday night Bible study group participated in an outreach event in the city of Szolnok called Love Bridge. They performed music for a retirement home and other activities throughout the day.

We were excited to welcome a team of students from Indiana Wesleyan University on May 29th. They will be working ministry opportunities for three weeks as we play host and provide housing for some of the students.

This past Friday, we were pleased to learn that Carter has been accepted into the ovoda (preschool) that we desired and his teacher stopped by to introduce herself. He will begin full day class on September 1st.

Just a few days after the college team departs, we will be welcoming our Summer intern, Victoria Pies for 6 weeks. Victoria is a student at Crown College and will be teaching English with us this summer at camp. We are so looking forward to her arrival and anticipate good things from her time here!

Camp volunteers will be arriving in Hungary in almost one month from today!

Please keep up the coming activities in your prayers. Pray for safe travel for the teams as they come and go. Pray for English camp and the students that will be participating this year.

We hope to have lots of great updates to share with you as the summer shines on.
