Hello everyone!
I've finally arrived in Nyírtelek where I will be working with the congregation at Filadelfia Evangélikus Egyházközség (Filadelfia Lutheran Church of Nyírtelek). I have moved in with an elderly member of the congregation who is very kind and is already helping me improve my Hungarian language skills. Give me a few weeks and I'll probably be speaking coherent sentences! I'm very excited about the various ministries that this church is a part of and I'm eager to do whatever I can to help and learn from my brothers and sisters in Christ here in Hungary!
For the past few weeks, I've been getting ahold of some of the basics of the Hungarian language and culture and making new friends with my fellow volunteers from Hungary, Ukraine, Romania, North America, Germany, France, Denmark, and Italy who are now scattered across Hungary and Ukraine. It was a great couple of weeks and it was sad to say goodbye, but our paths will cross at various seminars throughout the year.
Thank you for all of the prayers and well-wishes, it has been great receive the frequent reminders of your love and support as
