Phew, this week has been another filled with a whirlwind of activity. And it doesn't stop now. Tomorrow we are leaving for Budapest, Hungary! I'm still in shock (obviously, seeing as it's 11pm and I'm not packed) that tomorrow at 6:30 in the morning I will be on my way to Hungary. You know, the country. For a Free Methodist Eastern Europe Missions Conference.
We have known about this trip for awhile, but two weeks ago my outlook on going was grim. There is this little thing called a VISA that is rather important when you are living in another country for an extended period of time...and I didn't have it yet. In fact, I still technically don't have it. But long story short, my papers are far enough along in the process that I can safely cross the Romanian border without threat of deportation (therefore, the trip became a possibility again). Fantastic, right? Well, not so fast. It's not that easy. Although Karen and Maurice have their VISAs (as of yesterday), the boys do not. So then it was a matter of getting the boys all set in their paperwork process in getting their VISAs. Yesterday we had a very successful trip to Targu Mures (where the police station that processes the paperwork is) and the boys were "cleared," so to speak, in order to go to Budapest. Praise God. All of us were "ready" in that respect.
But our car...that was another complication. We knew that we would be driving if we went to Budapest this weekend, so when our car broke down on the way home from teens the other night, it put another damper on going. Another relatively long story short, we were able to get the car fixed within a two-day time frame and Karen and Maurice picked it up this afternoon. There were even more small obstacles that took tackling before we were assured that we can, indeed, go to Budapest tomorrow.
All this to say, that try as he might, Satan is not keeping us back from this conference. We all feel like it is something we need and will greatly benefit from. I am really looking forward to it and I can't wait to see what God has in store for all of us and how he will continue to grow us through this.
"Let us go right into the presence of God, with true hearts fully trusting Him."
Hebrews 10:22
Thanks so much for your prayers!

I hope the conference was awesome. Happy Thanksgiving. Will be anxious to read all about how Americans celebrate in Romania. If you buy the turkey live at the market and then kill and pluck it, spare us the details!!! Only kidding. You are in our prayers!
