Today was a great day. Brian joined the land of the living, eating, and working. His fever broke around 1AM and life became "good" again. Amazingly he never slowed down all day. We accomplished much today. Some of the guys completed the framing of the new classroom/serving area --real rough cut 2X10's now provide the ceiling/second floor, and two new closets are now ready for electrical and then drywall. The other team worked in the main lobby metal framing and begining the drywall. We are ahead of schedule in the Mozi and will have to see what else Brad dreams of before working this Friday and Zsuzsa's home to drywall the attic. The team is doing great.
Late this afternoon we sent the 2Jer's out shopping with Brad to restock our food supply. They are really college guys. Quick to pickup items and not so quick to look at the labels. Who knew that they have different types of bottled water...bottled water is just that isn't it? No! Blue and Pink caps mean something, like "air" (carbonated), or Mineral water (salt added) or just plain water. Well, we are stocked now with specality waters.
Tonight we rewarded ourselves with a real hungarian meal out at one of Brad's resturants. We had everything from gulash, to turkey, pork filets, steak, and roasted lamb all done Hungarian style.
It is hard to believe we are just past the half way point of this trip... we are now 5 days in since leaving last Friday. Jet lag did not seem to hit our team. Everyone has done well with the cultural changes and the plain strange-ness of the location, besides being in a major world-class city with all of us be hicks from Wisconsin. Well, not all of are northwood hicks...we do have Allen and Brian from the big city of Spencer, and oh yes Chris from our west coast of Wisconsin.
It is fun to see how God is working in the lives of the guys. Each morning we have been starting with looking at King David's life and the "voices" he listens to. Also seeing the guys sensitivity to God's work in the life of this church and people is evident. God's presence is noticable.
Thanks for praying. Please pray for Orsis as she applies for a visa to go to the US for her best friends wedding, you can also pray for Geza's wife who is in the hospital tonight with complications from diabetes.
And yes, Lisa has the definition of "Rhino" nailed. Check her comment from yesterday. One more fact about Rhino's is that they can run at 30 mph for short bursts. Yup! That's us. The Rhino team 2. God's favor.

Yes! The team worked with everyone who went. We are thankful that Brian was able to join in the work of the day and the Hungarian food afterwards! So, Joe, how was the lamb?!! What is it like to shop, Hungarian style, 2Jer's? The construction work looks good in the pics. May God bless the work of your hands and you as you minister in Hungary! Go Rhinos!
Love and Prayers, Sue and Aaron
Any group of Rhinos with "Jerepy" in it is bound to be a CRASH! :)
Glad to hear Brian is feeling better and praying for continued good health and strong bodies for the whole team. Keep up the good work, guys!
Love ~ Lo, Mark, & gang
We were a little worried about Jer M. using big tools in the one picture. You know he likes to nail himself and have it on camera too!
We are glad Brian is doing better now and everyone else is staying healthy. How do the Rhinos like the water funky water.
Love & Prayers to all,
Lon & Dennise

PS: FYI... UWGB (#9 seed) played UCONN (#1 seed) tonight to advance to the Sweet 16 and they were leading by 2 at the half but ended up losing 70-94 :(
Continued prayers for all...including your new friends in Hungary.
The next few days promise to be warm in the Northwoods. Looks like we will be getting rid of some snow.
