Kris Beaird Is a Trouper!

We really enjoyed having Jim and Kris Beaird as the guest speakers for the Hungarian Inste Conference.  They gave and gave of themselves not only at the Conference but at other church services, too.

One story of their visit must be told.  They left Florida on Wednesday and were scheduled to arrive at the Budapest airport on Thursday morning.  However, due to mechanical problems with an airplane, their itinerary was changed and they were diverted to Rome instead of going through Frankfurt.  That change added several hours to their trip and they arrived in Budapest late Thursday afternoon.  They arrived, but Kris's suitcase did not.  They were both exhausted, but after a little something to eat, Kris decided that she needed to go shopping.  She was scheduled to speak Friday evening at a Women's Conference and at one break-out session on Saturday.  She was promised that her missing bag would be delivered to her in Debrecen sometime Saturday.  The problem was that the only clothes she had with her were the casual ones she had worn on the plane.  So, we stopped at Tesco (similar to WalMart) and Kris found an outfit to wear complete with shoes.  She also picked up some pajamas and a couple of other necessary items.

Friday evening and Saturday she looked great and even made a joke about "having" to go shopping and about wearing the "souvenirs" she had bought in Hungary.  The ladies loved her.  Not once did she complain about her missing bag, but she was very glad to have it back so she could wear the clothes she had planned to wear to church on Sunday.

God bless you, Kris!  You're a trouper!
