Friday Evening, 20th Feb.

We are here in Budapest, where the temps are in the low 30's and snowing. Everything is white just like at home. Our flights we typical, delayed behind 20 other planes trying to take off on time which meant we were one hour late arriving into Budapest. Sleeping was only for the Rumple Stilskins among us, which we have two "red-masked" hibernators. Praise the Lord all of our luggage arrived and "compression packed" into the ministry van along with the 8 of us and our driver and navigator. Once on site, we set up lodgings for the week, moving furniture, inflating mattresses, trying to find some of the stuff we know we packed, and just getting familiar with our new environment. Brad, the ministry property director, gave us an update in preparation for our challenges this coming week.

For supper we did some walking to our favorite gyros chicken sandwiches restuarant. On the way back at the bus stop, Wyler had a local street person confront him. He thought that Wyler had taken his drink, since Wyler was still carying his beverage bottle from supper. No problem. Sig, ex-cop on salary, current cop thinking, stepped in immediately and let the fellow know to "step away from the lad". The situation resolved immediately.

As I write this it is only just after 7pm and Pastor Rob is already in bed sleeping. It just seems to early to go to bed and then sleep until 7:30am on Saturday. So the rest of us are looking for things to do that don't take much concentration trying to wait until at least 9pm

Pray for our team that no experiences any type of sickness or un-adjusted backs.

Thank you and we really look forward to your responses.
