Some Rest in His Hands

The last two days have been restful. We were able to see some of Budapest, their beautiful architecture, the Danube and of course lots of Hungarian food and sweets. The people we have met have been so kind and generous it's hard to believe they are distrustful of Americans. We have done our best to be examples of the love of Christ.

Today we had a fairly leisurely day. First thing we went to a local open air market, very interesting, most of the venders seem to be of oriental decent. It was strange looking at them and hearing Hungarian come out of their mouths. Then we met an American missionary family that just moved from Hungary to Slovenia. They had to be here for an appointment so we had opportunity to have lunch with the and stroll alone the Danube. It was so peaceful. Then we stopped at a local fabric shop and then home for a bit of rest before supper with the family Palmas family, the Hungarian missionary we are working with. Palma spent a month in Texas last year with Patricia learning about running a quilt shop. It seems a quilt shop may be something that would expand the quilting ministry here. Anyway Palma warned us that her father was not a fan of Americans and Christians so that was not a topic of discussion....but her parents wanted to thank Patricia for caring for her while she was in America. We had a delightful time and her father even laughed with us. It seemed to go well and we hope that we have left a better image of Christians and Americans.

The response to the quilt clubs has been more than we anticipated, praise God. Each club seems to be adding numbers and we find that we are having to make another 20-30 appliqué kits. Thankfully Patricia had the foresight to bring extra fabric. Of course we are so thrilled about the numbers not because of the sewing, although that is fun, but because it means more will hear the salvation message. The more seeds that are planted the larger the harvest will be. I know God has a plan and we are thrilled to be a part of it. We are still looking forward to meeting more of the ladies God has been preparing to have these bibles. We leave tomorrow morning for the Ukraine, it's about 200 miles. There will be a class there tomorrow and then classes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as well. So as you can see we needed the last two day to rest and prepare.

I leave you with this thought
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD
