Hmmmmm, What happened to an April report/blog?



Ahhhh April, Must get out my calendar to see what happened! :-) It was A LOT!

Palm Sunday - Preached in Debrecen as part of their celebration of new building. The Haz is a great International Church!

Visit from my missionary friend and part-time rookie - Tammy S. - Always a pleasure!

Helped to celebrate Ellel Ministries, Hungary - 20th Anniversary

Visit with British friends - part of our unofficial "Westerners who have renovated a village house" club - Wow, do we have stories! and some success,too.

An important ministry time and coffee with a courageous missionary going through changes.

The purchase, delivery and installation of my first ever "new" mattress & bed. It is black wrought iron and safely "tucked" in the loft. Lovin' it and my recently installed railing on the steps leading up to the loft.

Easter Sunday at ICB with visiting friends and minister's Otto & Sharon B.
A Passover Seder hosted by "Jews for Jesus" ministry - wonderful dinner, touching remembrance of The Lamb of God who's sacrifice was perfect and able to take away the sins of the world!! Enjoyed with special friends Scott & JoEllen C.

A special time, with special lady friends for prayer - on a Monday evening. Reminiscent of the year's of Monday night prayer that happened right here at Batthyany 18.

Welcome of 2 "Operation Outcry" ladies, one a friend since I was "kidnapped" to Iowa 7/11/11 and a new friend. These ladies share not only their pain of abortion but also their forgiveness and restoration through Jesus Christ. In one week, we ministered in Hungary, Ukraine and Serbia.

My first (but not last) missionary journey to Serbia.

Goodbye to the ladies and hello to a new missionary couple stationed in Ukraine needing to be in Budapest to get some paperwork handled. Spent a delightful day and overnight together with Mike & Annie H and their precious baby daughter.

ICB singles evening at my place

ICB - Last Sunday in April -  preached on being an arrow in the quiver and/or being wine settled on it's lees.

Monday, April 30 - reserved rooms for incoming guests in May and spent the afternoon - swimming in outside pool - Yes, summer arrived in April!!

A busy and wonderful month!!!

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they...

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

Image
My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!
