The Last Days: Celebrating all the way home

As you read this Bonnie is over the Atlantic and Anna, Katie, and Sarah are over Germany. All are on their way home. Pray that they will all arrive home tonight as scheduled.

Monday was a relaxing day. For the first time, no schedule just "free time". The group went outside the city of Reghin and had a picnic. Looks more like a feast. Ludai was the chef. Look at Attila's plate--mic, pork, wings--all meat with just a few fries. They had a great time. Ludai is practicing for the next Gypsy women's conference to be held at Apalina.

Monday night it was a visit to Istvan and Dora's house. This is also Isti and Zozo's home (they are Istvan and Dora's Sons.) At the back of the house, Lala and Esther have their rooms. They are also used for the Monday night worship in the Gornesti Gypsy community (although Hungarians attend also). The team could not resist the picture of Lala, Esther, and Miriam (Lala and Esther had the first "Christian" wedding here.).

Tuesday was off to Budapest from the Tirgu Mures International Airport. For the first time, NO Problems--those of you who have flown out know this is a first. The got to Budapest and Bonnie called for the hotel shuttle. She got a "fax"--phones ring differently in Hungary. So, Floyd called from the USA to Hungary to have the shuttle pick them up.

They headed downtown was in Buda or Pest. Anyway, the city was beautiful and they enjoyed a great meal on the Danube. Back to the hotel, the last headlice check, goodbyes, and off to bed.

Thank you for your prayers throughout the three weeks. They have been a great source of encouragement, strength, and support.
