uniqueness of hungarian:
so today at our language tutor, we learned a funny thing. we were getting him to teach us how to share the gospel in hungarian, and we started with the simple "God loves you", easy enough, translates the same. then we moved on to the verse "For you created my immost being, you knit me together in my mother womb" (Psalm 139:13) But in hungarian the part where it says created my immost being....it translated to "you created my kidneys"! funny eh, well i thought so! just thought i would share. 
my other new favorite thing about here i found in the grocery store....yup, thats right. it is balsamic vinegar in a spray bottle. i know you think i'm a freak, but its the little things that make me happy. now i can spray it on my salads to my hearts content!
onto more exciting things...today kyle and i went to the ofalu community house that OM has...its in the next town over, to help with some practical work. there is a team from the states here now and we went with them to help clean out one of the storage rooms (full of garbage!) i helped with this part...but then the guys proceded to drywall the room to make it more useable, and cover up all the little "holes" in the roof. kyle worked hard and is pretty tired...not used to such hard labour anymore! (dad, he misses you too!) i came home after i finished helping and worked on my english stuff for our next outreach. we leave on sunday and will be gone for a week to another small town south of here called ordas. we will be doing sort of the same thing as the last outreach....english, sports, chess, practicing our new sayings in hungarian. so you can pray that we will travel safely(!) and be prepared for all the God has in store for us there.

balsamic vinegar in a spray bottle... how cool is that!
did you happen to see any 'easy cheese' over there?
u mean in toothpaste form, if so yes and its actually quite tastey! plus i m very proud to say i have found cheddar chesse, although it isn't orange it will have to do! and feta chesse and sour cream is so much better here!
Hi, I am a friend of Matt and Melinda Edwards' and I found your blog through them, wanting to learn more about the people they hang out with.... nice blog.
I just wanted to point out (hope you don't mind) that the Bible verse where it says "you created my innermost being" and the Hungarian says "kidneys" is actually that way in Hungarian because in the original Hebrew it says "kidneys", and the Hungarian translation just uses the exact word.In Hebrew kidneys were used to describe what we use the "heart" for today. They were considered to be the part of the body where all the feelings and emotions reside.
Keep up the good work, and may the Lord bless your ministry!
