Wednesday was shaken and movin day. We are a few pieces of drywall short, putting on corner bead, and then the tapping begins. The transformation is incredible. When the people arrive this coming Sunday they will be amazed and say, "The Rhino's" were here again. Each day when we prepare our meals in the kitchen from the last project we worked on-- it reminds us what God can do through us to serve Him and the church. I am sure that they will use the new space with great pride too as the Mozi will be the largest mininstry center in Budapest. It has been fun working with the team and just hanging out with Blondie and Brad again too! Tomorrow the taping begins.

Today we had our ups and downs. Allen had his first experience with a Hungarian dentist. He chipped a tooth earlier in the week and had his appointment today. Brad gave a great recommendation, and off they went. FACTOID: Budapest is a desired site in eastern Europe for dental work. It is cheaper than most places and they do quality work-- if you have the right dentist. After a few hours Allen returned, numbed up, and $60,000 forents less as the dentist prepared his tooth for a crown to be cemented in place on Saturday morning. Don't worry about the price. Drop the last two zero's and divide by 2, which means about $300. Get a quality crown in the US for only $300. That's our up.

Now our down-- three times we tried by water and each time we bought everything but the right one. How's this....since the key is to look for pink bottle caps. Remeber yesterday's blog when the 2Jer's bought the blue caps --Strike One. I bought a six-2 Liter bottles wrapped with pink plastic. Who knew the covered caps were blue. STRIKE TWO. Then after much discussion we sent the 2Jer's again to the store with clear instructions. This time : pink cap, right product name, bottle looks just like we had 2 days ago...got to be right. Wrong again... this time pink cap, right manufacturer name, non-air mineral water. Yuck! Three strikes and we can't find water. Fortunate the people here at the Mozi love the carbonated and mineral waters. They have enough for a while now.

Our plans for our trip by train to Vienna have changed to Friday and then Zsusa's on Saturday since Allen needs to get his crown put in on Saturday. I guess our team will have to work harder since Blondie and Chris will be leaving around 10AM on Saturday.

Tonight we had supper at the Lemmon's, a missions family in charge of all the computer staff for the missions. We had a great time...ask the boys--especially since they have an 18 year old daughter. They were strategizing at the table to see how many chairs they needed to leave so she would sit next to them. But they both guessed wrong and the time came to pray and hold hands guess where Bethany sat...I think it safe to sit next to the oldest person in the room and one that is a pastor. But the boys lost no time telling stores and being college guys. Any interested in Jer 2-0's special friends need not worry... he didn't get a handshake tonight.

Well it is late and time to get ready for bed. Last night by midnight all of the guys were sleeping after I got done with the computer. It was the first night of the Budapest Symphony in Snormatic.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, today we started day with hot homemade cinnamon rolls a specialty treat from the pillsbury boy himself--Brad. Thanks Brad for slaving. Your efforts were enjoyed by all. Tomorrow morning it is "Garbage" for breakfast. Oh yes--PLT Orsis got her visa to the US for the June wedding and trip to our EFCA national office.
God's Favor.
