We have had a great weekend together celebrating the birth of Jesus. We are so looking forward to Christmas Day tomorrow. It is snowing so we are going to have a White Christmas for sure! Saturday Night – Church Christmas Program at The Gellert Hotel Sunday – [...] Last night as we were returning from our office Christmas Adam Party (Adam came before Eve so Christmas Adam is the day before Christmas Eve), we had quite an experience in front of our house. Valerie & I were in separate cars and as I drove by the woods near our house, I noticed a [...] (Written by Valerie) Kirby Ann came home from school the other day and said, ” I can read!” It was a very amazing transformation for her. One day she couldn’t read, the next day she could read anything. Anything in Hungarian that is!! She has been learning to read in English off and on at home [...] Yesterday I traveled from Budapest to the US. I arrived at the Budapest airport bright and early for what I thought was a really good set of flight connections to the US. When I checked in, they told me that my flight to Frankfurt had been delayed and that it was going to mess up [...] We can feel the heat tonight! Our gas was turned back on today. I paid the bill yesterday morning, but it took 30 hours or so to get it back on. Thankfully, it wasn’t too cold over the last couple of days and it never got too bad. It is warm again tonight!

We were all wondering about 5 if it was time for bed soon. The weirdest part is that I’ll start coming home from [...] Yesterday, I spent the Day with the Lord. Part of that day I wanted to get away and spend sometime in solitude. That is very difficult in a city of 2.5 million. I chose to go to the a small hill with a chapel on it overlooking the town of Budaörs where my office is. [...] Well, I’m going to give this blogging thing another shot. I really didn’t intend to stop posting over 6 months ago, but life happened to me and blogging was a casualty. With a new ministry year underway, I’m going to try to crank it back up. We’ll see how it goes. There is still another week here in Budapest before the [...] It has been a weird winter here in Budapest. There have only been a few days where it even dipped below freezing. Many days it gets up into the 50’s. We had one dusting of snow back in November, but other than that it hasn’t even threatened. We have enjoyed the warm weather and the [...] |
