Above: Elianna and Kira settling into their new front yard play area. Benjamin and Elianna have been exploring the various colored rocks and building fortresses with them. Kira gazes out at the road with cars zooming by and says, "Ouch, Ouch". She means that they are very loud and scary. This house is just perfect for us and such a blessing in this time of transition for us.



Above: This is our furry friend that Ben found yesterday roaming around our front yard. Elianna and dad went out this morning searching for him and surprisingly found him hanging out in the shade by a bush in the neighbors yard.



Above: Ben completing his first homework assignment. Yesterday was officially Ben's first day in the first grade. On the way to school he said that his only concern was that a bully would beat him up. He was bright and cheery when I picked him up. He said it was different than 'ovi' (Hungarian for pre-school) in that he had to sit still a lot in one place and be quite. He made a friend named Katen (boy). We praise God for a positive first day, and for helping us get in all of the necessary paperwork for him to register.



Above: We praise God for the way the kids are handling the transition to so many changes. They seem to be adjusted to the time change and have been sleeping very well at night. Kira has developed a cough at night which may be related to allergies since she has no other symptoms. Please pray for her.

We are thankful that some of you have already contacted us about coming to your small group to share about what God has been doing in Hungary. We look forward to reconnecting with many of you face to face.
