Above: After 3 weeks of wigglage (that's my own word), Ben loses his first babytooth, otherwise known in hungarian as 'tejfog' (literal translation: milk tooth). This brings back memories of my multicultural upbringing. My mother (Chinese) had no familiarity with the infamous tooth fairy. So, when I lost my first tooth and placed it under my pillow there was no profit to be found the next morning. When my mother found me sobbing, I explained my twisted expectations to her. She responded by educating my 5 year old mind of the cultural tradition in Taiwan of throwing lost teeth at the nearest wall. In the end, I didn't get any money. But I did learn about a new culture! So now you may ask, what did you tell Ben to do with his tooth. I will leave that for your imagination.



Above: Our Wednesday night worship practice. With the addition of Sharon on the flute, the music just keeps getting better! Sharon is not sure if she will play right away, but she has begun to practice with us with the hope of playing in the near future (she did a great job at practice).



Above L: Sharon transporting the mystery meat (a combination of deer, goat and pork). Above R: With no concern for OSHA regulations, Miki preps the boiling kettle for Thursday night's cook out. We joined our two groups (teenager and adult) together for a time of fellowship.



Above: Expressive Elianna filling Heidi in on her day at pre-school.



Above: Janka and Ildiko with Kira. Ildiko (teenager Zoli's mother) recently made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. We were encouraged to hear her thoughts in the Bible study which revealed a new trust in God as opposed to her previous trust in herself.



Above: While the stew simmers, we began our Bible study on a proper view of ourselves in Christ.



Above: O.K., so the stew took a bit longer to cook than we thought. Zoli (above R jean jacket) tried to use his position as Ildiko's son to get served first, but she denied his scheming. By 7:00, our bellies were more than ready to receive Miki's mystery meat stew. It was excellent!
