Latest Adventures Part 2

See yesterday's blog for the first part of this story.
Monday we were supposed to have a day of much-needed rest. We still had no hot water, so we sent a text message about it to the landlady.  Before she called back, however, we noticed we had no gas at all--none for the water, for the stove or for heating.  It turned out that just after we left on Friday afternoon, something happened to the gas line leading to our apartment building and the gas company shut off  all the gas to the entire building.  We also learned that it may take a month for it to be repaired!
To complicate matters, Vince woke up with a bad cold.  What he really needed was some good rest and a hot shower!  He was able to take some cold medicine he had with him and went back to bed while we tried to sort things out.  Finally, we were able to find a panzio (a kind of bed and breakfast place) where he could stay so he could get his rest and his hot shower.
Monday evening we enjoyed a wonderful meal and visit with Pastor Misi and Marika Gulyas (Field Directors in Hungary).  Tuesday morning and afternoon were meetings with the leaders and some INSTE students from the Open Bible Churches in Hungary.  We were all encouraged and blessed to be together and enjoying the Lord's presence, telling what the Lord has been doing among us.
Tammy Swailes, missionary to Ukraine arrived Tuesday evening, so the four of us had a chance to visit and make plans for the next few days. Wednesday morning Tammy and Vince headed for Ukraine where Vince will minister for the next few days. Please pray that Vince feels better soon and that the Lord will continue to minister through him in Ukraine.
