Above: Ben participating in a special Mother's Day presentation at his preschool. It was funny seeing Ben's face as he had trouble locating Sharon in the audience. When he finally saw where she was, his face lit up. The show consisted of various songs and poems of appreciation for mom.



Above: Zoli standing in the middle of the 'remains' of Petőfibánya's public pool which was a full of life over 50 years ago. Apparently, they couldn't maintain it and now it is surrounded by weeds, overrun with moss and stands to offer only an echo of the past. Zoli and I used the abandoned cement pool steps as our meeting place for prayer and Bible study. Though we are often discouraged by our failures, and sometimes turn away from opportunities to live in the righteousness of Christ, we still have hope. Zoli and I talked about the grace of God, and his commitment to us as His redeemed children in Christ. We learned about the faithfulness of God and His commitment to strengthen our faith until the coming of Jesus.

"He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord."  (1 Cor 1:8-9)



Above: After our study, we had some fun chasing this guy around the empty pool.





Above: Ben is back to his normal energetic self and fully recovered from Scarlet Fever. Allen is on the road to recovery from a head cold, while Sharon and Kira are experiencing the beginning phases of the sickness. Elianna somehow managed to escape all the bacteria and viruses running around our family. She is healthy and happy as can be. Please pray for healing for our family!
