Marathon language classes continue

We now have just a few days left of our super-intensive Hungarian language course. Right now our bodies are tired and our minds are mush. Last week we were in class ten hours a day, but this week we are in class only eight! We will be taking a test on Friday to see how much we have learned and are praying that it all comes together and makes sense.
We have met some interesting people during the course. Several people are learning Hungarian for work-related reasons. Two young ladies we met are learning the language because their boyfriends are Hungarian! And two men we met are studying Hungarian as a hobby! One of them (who already knows several languages) told us he is studying Hungarian because it is an "exotic language."
A new missionary told us that she was advised by a seasoned missionary that learning someone's language is a gift of love. We keep telling ourselves that it is only by the work of learning Hungarian that we can most effectively share God's love and our love with our Hungarian friends and neighbors. Please continue to pray for us that we can do just that.
