My Roommate

Here are some pictures of my roommate and I having some fun. Her name is Scarlett, she is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and she's been here since last October. She is a personal assistant to one of the 1st grade students who has down syndrome. We enjoy cooking together (we even made falafal the other night), playing games, and just talking about life and how God is working in our lives. As you can tell, we enjoy each others company.

My New Flat Video

This is a short video of my new flat in Budapest, Hungary. I hope it helps you understand where I am each day. It is a cozy place located near the school where I teach. I have been able to have several get togethers and parties there already, with friends and students. I love having the space to do this.

1st Grade Class

Hey today I had my 3rd class with the 1st graders. It was so much better than last week. On Thursday I spent 9 minutes of my 30 lining up at the door and entering the class. They kept talking, running, pushing and not following directions. Today it paid off. 1 time in and they were all very quiet. I was very encouraged. I was reminded why I love first graders so much. They have the energy and excitement of 5 adults!!!

Andrea and the CLUB

So today I really needed to go shopping for art supplies for my music class. I had a friend who allowed me to use her car (stick of course) for the afternoon. Let's just say, I'm not the best stick driver and I've not driven much here in Hungary. Well, we used the CLUB, you know on the steering wheel and my friend Andrea held it in the back seat every time. It was pretty funny. I'm so happy that I was able to drive around and get everything I needed.
