Exploring
Szia (That's hi in Hungarian--think "see ya")! After a good night's sleep (thank you, God, and Ambien!) and a mid-morning nap, we're feeling much more rested. This afternoon we ventured into our new hometown and did some exploring. It's a kind of resort area filled with hotel/spas (aka. people walking around in terry bath robes apparently after having been pampered). We ordered at a restaurant with the help of our dictionary, some gesturing, and a helpful waiter. We also bought some groceries--it's nice b/c we can walk, getting to most of what we need, minus Tesco, which is like Walmart or Super Target. Mostly, we feel calm. There are moments of "What are we doing?" It's very humbling to be in another culture without the assurance of knowing how to communicate or know how things work...that's where we REALLY are trusting the Father to guide us! Please know you all are very often in our thoughts and prayers--how we continue to be thankful for each of you!

You KNOW we'd love to find out what groceries you bought, what you've been eating. You know, the important stuff! Praying for you! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you two are getting to use your adventurous side already! :) We are curious to know if what you ordered at the restaurant ended up being what you were served...:). Glad to hear you were able to get some rest. Keep the Hungarian going, Angie! We know with your gift for languages you will have mastered it in one week (o.k., maybe two); our prayers, Rob and Sonia
ReplyDeleteHey Jeff and Angie! Welcome to Hungary! Hmmm, terry cloth bath robes. Wonder if Max will like to wear those or not?? We're thrilled you are finally there! Have fun exploring some more on Friday - we've been praying for you a ton.
