So it hasn't quite been a week since we have been here but what a week it has been! We are finally starting to get settled in and this is starting to feel like home a little bit!
The weekend was spent at camp with the young friends team and local teenagers! It was a weekend filled with lots of laughs, good lessons, fun games and all around was a good time! After camp, we came back to the city and were able to relax a bit as Monday was the start of our reading sessions! We all said that coming back to our apartment in Debrecen felt like coming home after a weekend of sleeping on camp bunkbeds; so its nice to feel that way about this place cause it is going to be home for 5 weeks!
Yesterday we started our reading and it is awesome! We all have about 8-9 readers but we read with them every day if poossible! We are already starting to create friendships and get to know the readers on a deeper level! So I know that in 5 weeks it will only get better!
We are also starting to feel comfortable in the city! It is a city about the size of Regina, so that also makes it feel like home! We are in a good location and are close to everything we need!
Even though it has only been 5 days since we got here, it is crazy to see the ways that I know god is going to work! Even though I definitely miss home and everything that means home, I also am able to not miss home that much cause I know that this is exactly where God wants me to be. Its kindof hard to describe but it is a good feeling! I know that after 5 weeks I am going to be a totally different person than when I came here! God is going to use this place and these people to change me and hopefully he will also use me to change them! It's a pretty cool feeling to be able to know that I can have a part in changing peoples lives. It's an unbeatable feeling actually and so maybe that is also why I don't miss home as much! No matter what the reason, what an awesome adventure and experience! I can't wait for the stories I will have and for the things that will come of everything that happens here!

I love the contentment I hear in your voice. Continue to think of this experience as the blessing that it is. I look forward to the stories you will be able to share about the people you come to know. How cool is it that three girls from Regina get to hang out with so many Hungarians this summer! That doesn't happen every year. Make the most of each moment.
Love, mom xoxo
nothing cool will happen here while you are gone, so don't miss it. for real. soak up every moment cause you will miss that place so much when you are home. but you can still miss me... :)
I'm glad that things are going so well! I know that your readers will be awesome, and that you will love getting to know them. I love mine! And I also love the contentment that you talked about about being exactly where you know you should be. :)
Deanna arrived last night, and gave me a hug from you! Thanks! It is nice to have everyone here now!
Today is a busy day of reading for all of us. Hard to believe we are now halfway through our second week of reading.
Anyways, glad to hear another update from you. I'll try and email again soon.
xoxo
