Now we have more time

War Eagle! Woohoo! I just found out that my beloved team won - way to go, guys.

Anyway, our mission team is doing very well. Our flights were non-eventful. We didn't get time to see any of Paris, and couldn't have seen it if we wanted to because of the heavy fog and rain. Oh well...

The bus trip this year was completely different from last year's (when Stan, Karen and I came). Last year we travelled at about 90 mph the entire way, double passing every car we met. This time, I think we went about 40 mph, and it seemed to last forever. and we travelled through Slovakia, so we have an extra country on our passports! It was only a few hours more, but I think every car in Hungary passed us. even the trucks were passing us! Plus, we went through passport control about 4 times. It was about 12:30 a.m. when we finally arrived at the Nehemiah center, so we were quite tired.

We've started working on finding a way to get Jennie's and Ralph's bags here with us. Poor Jennie and Ralph, with very little clothing here. We stopped at a store last night and got them some basic toiletries and underwear.

But, we are here now, and we got a good night's sleep. The Nehemiah center is wonderful and we're settling in nicely. We've already had lots to eat here. We'll go to church tonight at Sergei's church in Uzhhorod, and then start work tomorrow.

and the weather is perfect! I don't think we could have come at a better time! Beautiful and sunny today, probably about 70 degrees.

Pictures, and more posts to come soon.
