Dear Friends,
There is a saying in Hungarian: much water ran down on Danube …
Much water ran down on Danube river since we wrote to you.
Literary we are just over a significant flood. The quay in Budapest was under water, they cleaned and opened it last week. Houses built in flood areas were under water all over the country. But in the neighboring countries it was much worse.
Let me start with the biggest change in our life: our daughter Abigél started her higher education at New College of Florida (Sarasota, FL). She is studying Psychology and Sociology, and she is in the Honors Program as all students at NCF. After 5 weeks she is still excited, managing her time well and she has a good circle of Christian friends around her to study with and have fun with.
We are very grateful for a Hungarian pastor family who lives 40 minutes away and offered their support for Abigél. She left Florida Wednesday morning with them before Milton hurricane hit the land. Friday she flu to Virginia to spend the fall break with Samuel and Audrey.
New period in our life, 25 years of taking kids to school and picking them up after school is over now. Life is a little slower in the morning – we like it.
Good news: Tuesday Anikó was examined and there is no more deep vein thrombosis in her leg so she could stopped taking blood thinner medicine.
Gyuri has more responsibilities outside our church and the pastor’s training. He
was elected to be a part of the leadership of the Budapest Region of the Baptist Union. This gives him more opportunities to effect pastors and churches and mission activities. Of course, more meetings, more things and people to think of and pray for.
November 8 is the new deadline for his Master Thesis.
We are meeting with 3 pastor couples regularly for counseling. See some improvements and huge lack of self-awareness, biblical perspective on marriage, child raising and conflict resolution (home and in church).
Anikó is still waiting for a meeting with the Union’s leadership to present her findings through the research she did with pastors’ wives.
Thank you for your precious prayers and support!!!
Gyuri and Anikó,
serving Christ in Budapest, Hungary
