Remember to vote!

We just received our absentee ballots for the general election in November. Praise God! What a privilege it is to be able to vote even when we are out of the country! We will need to fill out our ballots and return them as soon as possible. Many Hungarians have told us that the Hungarian postal system is not fully reliable and is slow, but we have not found that to be the case. However, to be on the safe side, we will mail our ballots right away so there is no chance they will be too late.

We are privileged to be able to follow the campaign by internet and television. We get CNN news on the TV. It is good to be able to follow the news in English. A major plus is that we don't have to watch campaign ads!

(We are using television to practice our Hungarian, too. Nancy likes to watch quiz shows. The questions are written on the screen and the games go slowly enough to be able to keep up with what is being said, to some extent. We've even been able to get some of the answers to the questions right! Yeah!)

Remember to vote, everybody!
