An Exciting New Beginning
Here we are in Hungary, blowing kisses to you, which is the Hungarian way of greeting friends (not just blowing kisses but kissing each other on the cheek)(posted by John)
We arrived in Budapest on Thursday, safe-and-sound (with all of our luggage!). It's been pretty incredible to be back in Europe, and my Hungarian has gotten a quick dusting-off... :-) But the food, mmm mmm... I'm going to have to watch it the next few weeks. We also had to dig through all our suitcases to find some cooler-weather clothes, since the past few days have been relatively cool here compared to the warm San Antonio summer we were used to.
And now, after a few days of unpacking in Hungary, we traveled down to Catez, Slovenia (SW of Hungary) to attend United World Mission's bi-annual Euro-Conference, where we are enjoying getting to know all the other UWM missionaries working in Europe and hearing about their respective ministries. It should be a fun week, and then after attending the wedding of one of Zsofi's close friends in Germany, we'll be back in Hungary to finish unpacking! :-)

Stucco walls? Clay tile roofs? Are you sure your in Hungary or is that a picture of San Antonio? Must remind you of Texas!!!!
Hi guys. Okay - I cannot believe you are gone. We never got to hang out (officially for dinner anyway) and yet I felt like you were some of our closest friends. Zsofi, your friendship was such a gift and a blessing. I HATE that the Africa trip landed right in your last weeks here. And then I found out about your baby shower at the 9th hour at home with a horrible case of jet lag...Anyway, I love you - all 3 of you and pray that our friendship will grow. Can you give me your address so we can contribute to the baby shower?!?!
Please stay in touch! We love you!
Courtney & Brian
Really, I mean, I have tears in my eyes that I did not get to hug you both and tell you goodbye....you cant really be gone!!!!!!!
Hi Courtney, we wished too we could have seen you at least one more time before leaving and to hear stories from Africa. I heard some about your trip from Jack, Jenni and Josh and it sounded like it was a very good, challenging and heart changing experience. We are so glad that Riverside is on this exciting journey. We look forward to see how it all will enfold in the future.
I will send you our address and you can close your eyes now (I will do the same) and imagine a big hug from me and John and a little belly kick from little Hungary Wilson.
With lots of love,
Zsofi
Hey John, yes that did remind us of Texas :-) and sometimes it is still hard for us to believe that we are actually here.
