Us arriving on Friday evening
Kari here, guest-writing for my Mom. I'm sitting here in the living room watching Mom and Jonathan talk while folding laundry. Somehow I was assigned updating her blog this week, so you're going to get my side of the story. It all started back in 1981...just kidding. We'll skip ahead to this week.
This morning we did "house-church", thanks to the sermon podcasts. We called it "West Cobb Church, Budapest extension" :)
Thank you all for your prayers, e-mails, and notes over the last week. Mom had a rough week of homesickness, which is unfortunately part of life when living overseas far from family and friends. She still misses Chris and Kate, her dad, and others, but is doing much better.
The Doyles left early this morning, so Mom and Dad are now handling the responsibilities of the Eden House. Keep praying for someone to come fill that need!
We took a bus, tram, then a second tram into town yesterday to a craft market on the Széchenyi lánchíd (Chain Bridge) near the Parliament building. There were outdoor concerts, lots of yummy-smelling foods, beaming rays of hot sunshine, and even a section dedicated to France for Bastille Day. Home away from home!

The Parliament House
A Hungarian version of the cinnabun: yeast dough wrapped around a stick and cooked over a fire, then rolled in cinnamon-sugar. Delish!

Clowns as part of the festivities
Here we are - back in France!
Jonathan working his osteopathic magic on Mom
We had a BIG pizza from Don Pepe's at the food court
Look at how big it was! Don't worry. We took care of it.
Jonathan picked out an excellent watermelon and rewarded himself by eating a large piece, while wearing one of Mom's aprons.
Courtney, my college roomie, and Mom on Thursday night. Courtney was passing through Budapest on her way back from a mission trip in Romania and met up with my parents. Unfortunately we got in a few hours after she'd left, but maybe another time!

Hi!!!
Looks like tons of fun - wish we were there, and we're looking forward to seeing it all in person!
Jonathan - Chris says "Nice apron...my mom has one just like it."
Miss you and love you - talk to you soon! - K & C :)
I started an entry, and then realized that I really need to just email you, because there's so much to say, Cile. So right now, I just want to say that we love you, and we pray for you daily... and that God is good.. all the time. I love watching Him take such good care of you... :<)
