You can tell we are hard workers and also enjoy some the local food.

Today we finished the carpentry part of this trip and most of the drywall and first-coat of taping. Tomorrow we get a break as part of the team will venture to Vienna for a day of sight-seeing, while Blondie, Chris, and a local college student head to
Slovakia for the day to visit another
church project from the past and renew
aquaintences. We are both ready for a break in pace from the work and to
hit the train very early in the morning
for a new adventure. We even have
reserved seats in a cabin compartment.
Should be a real treat for us all, even though the temps are only suppose to
be in the mid-forties and cloudy.

Today we had our real first accident as one of the scaffolds with an old wooden door as the plank collapsed sending both guys down...Jordan a local MK and Jer-2-0. Both struck sensitive parts of their bodies that are best politely not mentioned. As for other injuries just some scraps. Fortunately they were only about 6 feet in the air.

Tonight the younger guys were treated to a both another home cooked meal and then to one of the national soccer games. Two teachers from the local missions school were at the home we had supper at and invited our guys to come along. They jumped at the chance and now at the game hoping to see some of the over exbuerance that european soccer fans are known for.
As parents, we just want a nice sedate game with no extra-activities.

Saturday before the cornation of a someone into Hungarian aristocracy we will be working on two jobs. I am staying to put a second coat of mud on the drywall as the rest of the team heads out to do an attic minus Blondie and Chris who leave us to begin journeying home.

This has been a fantastic trip as we have seen God work through the lives of many people including our own. Thanks for keeping up with us.

Oh yes, for us dog lovers, we found a quick fix... it feels just like a 6-week old golden retreiver.... Blondies new haircut especially when he used Pert with conditioner. And if you are keeping up with Jer-2-0 he did get a traditional "cheek-to check" airbrush greeting kiss from an attractive young girl last night. But he says not for anyone special to worry... It was just part of the culture.
