Above: We had to temporarily move Ben back into the girls room as Allen preps Ben's room for painting. Although he expresses great joy when talking about having his own room, I could see his excitement temporarily moving back into Elianna and Kira's room.





Above: Before and after shots of our kitchen. Sharon is now officially out of our temporary basement kitchen and enjoying the new kitchen that God has provided. We are so thankful for the hours of work that many of our friends put in to help us finish it.

As you can see we are steadily making progress getting settled into our new house. The majority of the hard work (the kitchen) is done, and we hope to have Ben's room finished in the next few weeks. Thank all of you who have helped us in this need by giving financial gifts. If you would like to continue to help financially, please visit our support link.

MONDAY ESL



Above: Church members Dezső and Hugi, joking around with us after the optional ESL Bible study time. Dezső translates for Allen in this time and sometimes uses the Bible lesson in his advanced class with Roger as curriculum. I'm so thankful for brothers and sisters in Christ that have a joyful spirit and are ready and willing to serve with us.

One of our students, Csilla returned after a few weeks of being absent. Csilla has some type of brain tumor and has already gone through surgery and is currently going through more tests. Csilla heard about our program through her son Csaba, who attended our English camp two years in a row. I was thankful that she returned tonight and had the opportunity to let her know that we are praying for her.



Above: Sharon and Kira last week in a playground in Eger.

For the first month home, we were maneuvering around suitcases and boxes and working morning to night unpacking. Now that most of our things are in their proper places and most of the rooms are finished, Sharon has been hard at work developing more of a routine for the kids. The kids are learning about chores, and other important responsibilities.





Above: Ben and Kira in our back yard. Looks like I have to cut the lawn soon (or maybe Ben can do it).





Above: Sharon and Kira journeyed to Rozsaszentmarton (neighboring town) to register Ben for 1st grade. Sharon said the conversation with the headmaster went very well and that there were no problems registering, even though it officially happened last week. Praise God.



Above: Ben's friend Attila (yellow vest) from pre-school came and broke in our new kitchen barstools.

Above: Thank you for your prayers for our family and for the ministry of church planting that God has called us to. It is always encouraging to us to know that somewhere across the globe, there are people lifting us up before God's glorious throne.
