This is a big week for Campus Crusade here in Budapest.  Being a missionary community with a large number of expats, many of our staff are gone for the summer.  Some return to the US to see family, fund raising and general R&R.  Others are on summer projects out in one of our 19 countries.   Others, like me, are mostly in the office, and on a couple of ministry trips.

All that to say tha things are different in the summer and a lot of people are gone.  All that changes this week.  Everyone is back and the new ministry year gets underway.   We have two all day meetings and  a golf tournament this week.  Next week is an entire week of all day meetings.  In that past, I would just need to show up at these meetings and it isn’t too much of a deal.  In my new role, I am the coordinator of most of them.  This is very different.  Today will be a crazy day since I’ve been out of town for a week and I still have to do a ton of work on the first major meeting on Tuesday. 

We’ll see if I have time to blog.  Don’t be surprised if it is another month before you hear from me.
