"Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The LORD is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
Philippians 4:4-6
Family and Friends! Szia!
I can't believe another week has come and gone! Seriously, where is the time going? As these weeks go by the Lord is constantly giving me reasons to fall more deeply in love with Hungary, this city, and these people. This past Thursday the girls and I went to a small village, called Murakeresztúr, to teach at the local primary school there. As many of you might assume I was extremely excited! Getting to spend a whole day with children: Yes, please! As it turned out this day was incredible! Although we planned actual English lessons we spent the majority of the time just interacting and socializing with the students. They had so many questions for us. The big one being why did you come here? Why would you come to a small little town in Hungary? We told them it was simple: we came for them. Because of our personal relationship with Jesus we had a desire to get to know and love Hungarians. There's nothing more beautiful than seeing children's faces light up after telling them this. It will forever be imprinted in my mind. We are hoping to be able to return to this primary school very soon.
My heart is overwhelmed; overwhelmed by everything. Each week we're adding more "coffee dates + bible studies" to our calendar and friendships we've established are deepening! Rejoice! Going to Murakeresztúr this week has been a reminder to us that Jesus wants His children to come to know Him. At times I wish I could just make people believe but that wouldn't bring maximum glory to our God. When people CHOOSE to follow Him, He receives glory. This Saturday we will be hosting our first Game Party at our home. One of our new friends offered his Xbox to us and we hope this will get some boys interested in coming to our Friday Night Bible Studies. Pray that many new students will attend and that opportunities will open up to share the gospel with them.
Prayers:
-March 24 us girls will be traveling with two other HandOn students to Ireland! Pray for safe travels. -Trip to France pray that hearts will be softened before leaving.
-Us girls staying in the Identity of Christ (Galatians 2:20, Colossians 3:1-3)
-Saturday Game Party
Love you guys!
