Budapest, 5:30

We have been in Hungary about six hours now. The flights were easy enough. I did not see many closed eyes...not until the flight from Paris (which left at 3 something our time). The nervousness eased up quite a bit after we took off. I think everyone is feeling more at ease. The movie selection helped...seemed like about thirty to choose from. Only one bag didn't make it yet--Morgan is being a good sport. Everyone has offered to loan her things. We were glad to find Gary E. and Bill B. at the airport here. (Bill's bags also haven't made it yet...)

Emery arranged shuttles for both groups. A small group went to a Baptist Guest House. The rest to the hostel. The seven of us who are at the Guest House will meet the others for a meeting tonight at 8:00. We'll set some guidelines and try to coordinate some sightseeing over the next two days. Here is a link to some of what we might see. http://www.budapestinfo.hu/en/things_to_see

John L. is working really hard and doing a great job keeping us on track. He has his clipboard at every turn, checking us off. Emery has already translated my sermon for Sunday. Unfortunately, I didn't remember until after I'd written it that it will be (at least) twice as long as usual because of the translation. Emery has graciously agreed to help me shorten it!

I think I will have internet at the guest house once we figure it out. When that happens, I'll post some pictures.

Until next time,
