Business Meeting

It has been a busy weekend and it's not over yet. 

Thursday evening we went to our home group meeting as usual, but before the meeting began, we enjoyed a little party.  Since Friday was Nancy's birthday, we brought along a cake and everyone sang a happy birthday song as the "firework" candle burned. (These little firework candles are so popular for birthdays and other celebrations that the bakeries offer them for sale along with the cakes.)

Friday morning we left for Ukraine to meet with Tammy Swailes, the European director of Inste.  We had some important business to discuss and decided to meet about halfway between her home and ours.  Our trip took a little longer than expected when we were stopped at the Hungary/Ukraine border by the Hungarian authorities for a "more thorough inspection of travel documents."  We were in no trouble, but we had to wait an extra hour or so while the border guards looked over Mike's papers. 

 We met Tammy at the Golden Trout Hotel and Fishing Resort in the Carpathian Mountains.  The scenery is beautiful and the river swollen with melting snow is amazing. We enjoyed freshly caught trout at the restaurant in celebration of Nancy's birthday.  Friday evening and Saturday we prayed together and discussed our business.  Early Sunday morning we plan on heading back to Hungary.

Please pray for continued safe travel and for God's will to be worked out in our lives and in Inste in Hungary.
