The gas is on

I remember something now that I forgot to tell you during our busy time the last three weeks. During the first week of language classes, the Russians and Ukrainians came to an agreement that allowed natural gas to begin flowing again through the pipelines to Europe. Thank the Lord! Hungary has natural gas reserves built up for just such emergencies. We were not without heat like some Eastern European countries, but the clock was ticking as Hungary was using their reserves. We were asked to conserve as much as possible and there was talk of closing schools and some other public buildings if the crisis continued. We are so thankful that Russia and Ukraine worked this out!
