There Is Goulash In The Shower

You know you are in Hungary when you walk into the shower and in it is a large pot. Yep...sitting in your shower just waiting to be opened. I open the pot and what do you know? It is a whole large pot of Goulash! RANDOM. This trip has been nothing but random! Currently I am writing to you from my mattress on the floor which is located on the balcony of the beautiful church we are staying at. This week we are in the city of Biscke. It has been a long week and it is only Wednesday. The children are on brain overload and it is really long days for them to be learning English. They start to act up and are naughty because they can't communicate with us. We have been busy learning colors, foods, greetings, alphabet, emotions, and much more. My challenge this week is helping create a Hungarian/English skit for the students to perform on Sunday morning for a church service. It will be the story of creation and it will be interesting to see how everything falls into place. We are also going to sing If I Were A Butterfly in English and Hungarian. This has been a great way for me to practice my Hungarian.... through singing.

The best part of this week has been that we have had some time to get out and about. On Monday we went to Slovakia and visited a beautiful town. Last night we went and saw Budapest by night. It was so beautiful. Tonight has been a great night of rest. One that has been much needed. We are hitting week five of traveling and it is wearing on us. Many of us are feeling a bit sick this week from the food we are eating and we are really tired and low on energy.

Hopefully I will get a chance to post again later this week. Have a great day!
