Our very own hungarian pet.....kind of.
well the other day kyle was sweeping out infront of our door, when he discoved it. he kept sweeping over this one tile and noticed it was moving, he couldnt figure out what it was until he lifted the broken tile up and found 2 frogs! so i snapped a picture because i thought it was funny, but i think they have now left the premises, and no they have not come into our house....we have ants as pets inside! supposedly its a popular indoor pet here in hungary...so we just embrace them and give them some "food" while they stay.

on another note...today we went for our first meeting with the hungarian couple to practice speaking more. it went really well and they we so helpful and patient with us. we will meet them next week again and hope to keep up this weekly. one funny thing that happend at the end of our morning was when we were saying good bye. ok, here they do the "kiss on the check, both side thing" like italian style. this is all fine if both persons go to the right sides. i thought i had this down pat, but apparently i was confused on which side to go to first and almost kissed the lady on the lips!! she laughed and so did i out of embarrasment.....she didnt think that we bonded that much in our 2 hours of speaking hungarian!!! yeah so that was a pretty funny note to end on. but we are seeing our progress in learning this language and are thankful for all those who are praying for us, it is much appreciated and needed!
i am also greatful for all those who are praying for me (lynnette) as i am preparing for the english classes. at the beginning of the week i was feeling VERY overwhelmed and wanted to quit....but good thing for kyle and his encouragment, he didnt let me!( i really wouldnt have anyways) but the last couple days have been good progress and i have about half the days done, yahoo! so we still have 2.5 weeks before we go out on outreach to prepare and are looking forward to it alot. for those of you who want to know where we will be (all those who like looking on maps...vicky....) the town is called "Kubekhaza", try and find that on a map! it is in hungary, but right near the serbia and romania border.
anyways, thats all for today. this post is for you mom, since i just finished talking to you and you asked for a new post, so here it is! ask and you shall recieve. ok not always but for today here u are! for future warning if any of u recieve a call from us please dont assume and emergency, sometimes we just wanna talk to you! but thanks for caring for us mom and whats up with many others of you who are to "busy to pick up", the call display said hungary and you automaticallly think telemarketer or something?! oh well maybe next time
