Today we are relaxing after a very busy weekend. Yesterday was sad as we said good-bye to our first hosts. John our American contact picked us up in this huge white van and took us into Budapest which was about 30 minutes away from where we were staying. We spent the day checking out the sights and visiting the large castle, the island in the center of the city, and just checking out the sights. It was a perfect day temperature wise for touring... an absolute beautiful day! After that we headed to John's house for dinner where we met his wonderful family and spent the evening visiting and eating.
Today we headed into John's church where they had the worship service in English and Hungarian. John's wife Zsophie translated at the service so we could understand what was happening. Then it was into town quick to buy a few necessities for next week like shoes and pants. We didn't really plan on spending a week in a horse camp so none of us are prepared for this clothing wise. We all bought super ugly, cheap shoes to wear so we can dump them after a week of being smelly! Should be interesting at the camp. We heard it is really rustic and has only one bathroom inside, the rest outside. We also heard there is not a lot of hot water. Who knows what next week will bring as we work in this place. We do know that they are extremely grateful to have us helping at this mission site and are so blessed to have us.
Otherwise, things have been great. I will never understand why you can never find a bathroom in Europe and why you have to pay for the restrooms. Very frustrating! However, everything else is going well and our travels and work have been great. I am not sure what kind of technology I will have next week so I will post things as I am able. Have a super day!
