Above: Ben and Elianna pack in the Mercer mobile as we head to the town of Eger to extend our residency permits in Hungary. As you can see in the picture below, the trip was a bit hazardous, but God protected us and gave us success in Eger. Thank you for your prayers! As far as I can tell, all our papers were accepted. The official who handled our papers was very kind and even helped me fill out parts of the application (not the standard here).



I am so thankful for Val (teaching below L) who ended up taking my students for the night as our family didn't get back in time for me to teach. Her kindness didn't stop there...she also brought our family homemade dinner! Heidi (teaching below R) continues to do a great job as she temporarily substitutes for Tamara.
