If This is Tuesday, It Must Be Budapest!

We're here...but our time clocks are still confused...and yes, I know it's actually Wednesday, not Tuesday. But we lost a day, you see. This is us in our elevator (there's a mirror on one side). OK, I know it's a silly picture, but remember I'm jet lagged!

An Irishman bought the roof of this building and built the sixth floor and put in the elevator...it's quite nice, glass on two sides.

Our friend, Andy Anderson, arrived last month and is staying on the same floor. He put fresh flowers and chocolates in our room as a welcome! Really nice to see him again and we look forward to seeing more of him in the next few months. Andy distributes Christian books throughout Hungary to set up reading rooms, and he may set up a reading room on our floor.

We've done all the routine things thus far:  Got our public Transportation passes--$50 a month for each of us now. It was half that when we got our first ones in 2005, but still a good deal.  Michael is standing in front of one of the main train stations, about a block from our flat.

We went to Auchen, sort of our Walmart here except they are run by the French and I think they have good pastries and breads. That enormous loaf of bread next to Michael's hand costs $4.

We finally got our little flat arranged today. Had to clean things up a bit.  Above is a before picture.

This is a picture looking out of our bedroom/living room window. We're on the fifth floor (which means the sixth floor because Europeans don't count the ground floor).

Here's a picture looking out our bathroom window.  Can you see the pigeons...not my favorite bird.

Sorry, no ministry news...we're still just getting our minds and bodies settled in. Thanks for the prayers. I'm a mixture of feelings--lovin it, wonderin why we're here when we have such a comfortable home in NC, excited for whatever God has in mind, getting used to no car and no Panera : )

But God continually amazes me with His goodness to us!!
