The Beauty of Budapest

Some of the sights

So...on Saturday we piled into the vans and headed off for Budapest. Joska (OM Hungary staff person/crazy guy) was driving our van and kept us all in stitches the whole time. But we arrived safely and took lots of pictures at the various places we stopped. We spent a fair bit of time near Heroes' Square and I found a quiet place in the park behind it to sit and drink a cappuccino and write some postcards.





One of the American girls, Erika,is from a Hungarian family and she was able to go and visit her grandmother during this time.








Later we went up the hill to the castle district and Sally and I did a bit of shopping. We watched a woman completing a tablecloth she had been working on in the traditional Hungarian style - it was quite a piece of handiwork. I also bought a mug to add to my collection (I know my kids won't be surprised to hear that).





How to get around in Moldova...?

As many of you know I recently obtained my motorcycle license - but I have never had the opportunity to own a bike of my own. So in Budapest I did some shopping around to consider what form of transportation I might use in Moldova ...










...and after much consideration,this is what I decided on:More friends to meet

There are some people you haven't met yet, such as Eun Ha and her husband Eun Chuul, a really sweet couple from South Korea. Eun Chuul has been serving as a youth pastor and now they are heading to Albania to serve the Lord there.








You also haven't met Victoria,
who - as well as Granny Sally - is from northern Ireland. Victoria has come to help take care of the children during the training school. Sally helps with the cooking and kitchen work and she is an absolute delight and full of life and humour. They attend the home church of Heather,
who leads the training course along with her husband Parnesh.
I'll have to put in a photo of them next time.

Blessings to you all from Budapest!
