Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed your Christmas Holidays. This year I had the special blessing of my parents visiting. I had the last two weeks off and had a wonderful time just enjoying family. Some of you get my dad’s e-mails so you will know all about the projects, shopping and traveling we did.
Mom did a lot of wonderful baking. It was amazing to have the house smelling like cookies and bread. Dad and I ran errands and he got a first hand look at what life in Hungary can be like as we waited in line at the grocery store and post office. In addtion, he got to see how a simple errand required multiple trips to four different locations when we went to purchase a new cell phone. (My phone died the last day that we were in Vienna).
It was such an amazing blessing to have help in getting my house in order. I have been so busy since I moved that many things have gone undone. Dad installed a countertop and four light fixtures. Mom made me beautiful new curtains for the living room and kitchen and we moved my old curtains to the all-glass entryway.
We also got to go to Vienna for three days and meet my cousin Kevin who is stationed in Germany with the Air Force. We had a great time visiting and seeing the sights. I even dragged them all to the Bagel store so I could enjoy one of my favorite foods that I can’t get in Hungary. The only sad thing is that I think mom and dad saw more of historical Vienna than of Budapest. So much of the time they were in Hungary everything was closed for the holidays so they will have to come back and do the tourist attractions another time.
Finally, we got to just spend time together, play cards and laugh. It was such a wonderful Christmas gift to be with family!
The time went way too quickly and yesterday I took mom and dad to the airport for their trip back to Florida. They called this morning (very early Tampa time) to let me know that they had arrived safely minus their luggage which should catch up to them later today or tomorrow.
Now the house is way too quiet and it is back to work for me. We have new team members arriving on Monday and I am looking forward to having them join us in sharing the love of Jesus here in Hungary.
I pray that our Lord will bless and keep you in 2008 as you follow after Him,
Rachelle
