Clean Clothes!

Thank the Lord for clean clothes! Last week the washing machine quit. It wouldn't pump any water out, so I (Nancy) called the landlady, Éva. Thankfully, the washing machine was part of the furnishings that came with the apartment. When we moved in, Éva explained to me how to use the washing machine while her son translated for us. Well, somehow I missed the part that there is a filter that needs to be cleaned out periodically, so it was all stopped up with lint and one large coin! Éva was kind enough to come over and clean the filter for me, but the machine still wouldn't work. Éva made a call to the repairman, Ervin, who happens to go to the Open Bible Church. Ervin came the next day during our Hungarian lesson. While he worked, we studied. It was great having Rita here to help smooth our communication, but she let us do most of the talking. She even complimented us on our attempts at Hungarian! Now the washing machine works and we have clean clothes. It is good timing, too, since this week is a very busy one for us with Nancy going to Ukraine to attend the INSTE graduation there and Mike staying in Hungary to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of the Open Bible Church here!
By the way, I wrote on my calendar when I need to clean the washing machine filter!
