Man, today was an early morning…especially after only a few winks of sleep thanks to an internet connection, streaming video, a projector, a white sheet, 2 speakers, a sweet lounge sofa, and, yeah baby the NCAA tourney. Due to the time difference, we tuned in at about 1am and the games lasted until about 6am…at least for the guys this was a great reward to end a great week!!! We packed up our things, ate Buna’s last meal, said our good-byes to our dear friends the Lucaciu family, and boarded Soni’s Omnibus to Budapest. We praised God for an incredible week and reflected on His ultimate goodness to us.

The city of Budapest was cold but alive and well nonetheless. We ate our traditional Hungarian feast at “Fatal”, pronounced “fah-tall” but Zach still thinks its fatal – as in the meal is so big we’re all gonna pass away! John got the clean plate award for eating all of his Schnitzel, which literally was the size of a large Frisbee. It was a wonderful way to end our team time together. Josh wanted to ensure you all knew how much he wished Jaclyn was there to hold hands and stroll gingerly along the candlelit cobblestone streets of this romantic city! But all he got was to hang out with 3 other crazy guys with wacky hair!

Again, we thank you for being our Home Team…for your prayers…for your support…for your love and friendship…and for sharing with us in this adventure. All we need you to do now is….JOIN US ON NEXT YEAR’S TEAM!

Also, please make special note that we will be sharing a short testimony in each of the Easter services this weekend plus delivering a more thorough report on Sunday night, March 30th, from 5:30pm to 6:45pm in the Bernson. We hope you can join us!!!
