Moving Back to the U.S.

Yes, we will be moving back to the U.S. this summer in June. It is very sad for us to think about leaving Budapest. We've made such great friends and have truely enjoyed serving the Lord in Eastern Europe and Russia. But we sense it's time to go and the Lord is calling us to a new opportunity - to work again with the Campus Ministry in the Southeast. We will be on the team that gives leadership from Atlanta, Georgia to four states - Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Our specific role will be mobilizing our students and staff to go overseas on various types of projects. So, we will be moving to Atlanta. We don't know much about Atlanta, but it's a good location between our families. Stay tuned for more details.

Drew and Joan recently participated in an outreach to Hungarian university students. They helped with English discussions that connected students to the Gospel and more opportunities. Posted by Hello

Picture Problems and The Latest

All,
I am having problems loading pictures on our blog. Be patient with me and check back in a week. I hope I'll have it fixed.

We just got back from a small family vacation. We drove up to Donovaly, Slovakia to a small ski area. It's about a four drive from Budapest. The snow was incredible! Nate, Grant, and Zach spent the first day in ski school. This was their second year to ski and they did great! On the second day, Nate and Grant were going down the easy runs with Joan and I. We went with our friends the Welshs. We also took a babysitter to help with Claire. She's not old enough yet for skiing.
We had some hotel frustrations. Great hotel, but bad service. You never know what you'll get these days. Sometimes you find great customer service in Eastern Europe and other times you find the old "we don't care about the customer" kind of service. What we had was the later. :<
