an especially stellar moment =)

Allison and I in an especially stellar moment. We are in the new gym awaiting the deidcation ceremony to begin, and making faces at a camera was a nice preoccupation. Our responsibility at the time was to make sure our students behaved and weren't goofing off...

So the new building is at last officially open and dedicated, and we had all the big names behind the project present to dedicate it, including the mayor of Diosd, and Larry Thompson, the key player who put the idea of the school into a reality. It is incredible to think how big this place is now, in numbers and in structure, compared to the handful of students that began it 14 years ago. In our weekly devotional meetings we've been hearing lately from board members of the missions represented here at the school, and their message to us as teachers is one of encouragement as they tell us how key the school is in order for the families to stay on the field here in Hungary. May the Lord continue to be praised and glorified and served through this center of education!

a rare moment

I know I know, it's about time I posted something on my blog! I have been back now for a month??? I can't believe it. And so much is going on these days with end-of-the-year activities almost every day. It's actually somewhat sad, as the year pulls us with our feet dragging to the end. This means good-byes are going to have to be said soon. That makes my heart so heavy, because a lot of these good-byes are for good. Thank God for the hope of heaven.

So, fortunately Mary, my roommate, is somebody that I wont have to say good-bye to. But as it is, I hardly ever get to say anything to her at all. She and I are generally like two ships passing in the night. So, it was close to miraculous that we ended up in the same hallway at school at the same time, wearing almost identical clothing, AND I just happened to have my camera in my bag! You better believe we documented this moment. I'm so glad you're coming back next year, Mary!
