Sunday... sharing at the Ujfeherto Baptist Church

We shared about our ministry in Italy at the Ujfeherto Baptist Church. 

They have been faithfully praying for us for years! It was great seeing their faces again. 

Ma az Ujfehertoi Bapti Gyulekezetben szolgaltunk es az olaszorszagi misszionkrol beszeltunk. 

Mar evek ota husegesen imadkozik ertunk ez a gyulekezet, milyen jo volt megint latni oket.

Monday, anniversary

So. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary! :) 

I thank God for Scott every day! He is pretty much perfect. The end. Goodbye. :)

We left Benjamin with Mita today and went to Debrecen, a bigger city about 10 miles away. 

We went and had lunch at our favorite little middle eastern restaurant. We ate big plates of gyros and it was AWESOME!!!! All the food and drinks came to a  total of  $12. Gotta love it!!!! :)

Then we went and walked around downtown and in the mall. I love European fashion, everything is so form fitting and stylish.... very expensive though! :(

Sunday, church, hawk

Is Scott too big for my dad's car, or is the car too small for Scott? :)

Scott lenne tul nagy az apu kocsijahoz, vagy a kocsi tul kicsi neki? :)

We went to visit our Hungarian church today: Trinity Baptist Church in Debrecen

Saturday

Maybe you cant tell, but this is a NAMEDAY STAND. We celebrate name days in Europe (every name is assigned to a date in the calendar and we celebrate each others name days with parties, presents, flowers, chocolate etc). ON the top of the flower stand there is a sign that says "NAME DAYS THIS WEEK", so you can check if you know anyone that has a name day that week :)

Super cute HelloKitty  and Smurfs paper towels at the supermarket

"National Tobacco Selling Place"

you see this sign at those 6000 stores in the whole country that were "lucky" enough to win the right to sell tobacco. Thats's right. The government started regulating tobacco sales and only gave out 6000 permissions. If you had a shop you could enter the draft and if you were among those "lucky" 6000, you could win the right to sell tobacco. Little wacky, but okay with me! :)

Oh, and there is a big 18 sign above the door. It means that no one under the age of 18 can enter the shop. 

We went in to one of these stores to get some water and the lady immediately told us that Benjamin couldnt come in. And I was like, HUH?! Then she just sent Benike and Scott out... then I was like, OKAY GOODBYE NOW... @_@

Coca Cola's new sale thing in Hungary. You  can buy coke with your name on it... :)

Friday... bike shopping

In the morning we visited Mita (Edina's mom) at the market.

Of course we walk everywhere :)

Reggel meglatogattunk Mitat (Edina anyukaja) a piacon.

Termeszetesen mindenhova gyalog megyunk. :)

This will just never make sense to us. It is actually cheaper to buy 2 toothbrushes than just 1.
