One of the interesting nuances of our communication setup is my ability to call Cathy in Budapest from anywhere here in the U.S. very cheaply, including Target. Last summer we got a U.S. mobile phone (that would be a “cell” phone in the local language here) with nation-wide long distance service. Since our Internet phone in Budapest is just another U.S. phone number, I can call Cathy easily. This helped immensely yesterday as I did some of our Christmas shopping and kept having to ask her questions about what to get!

Assuming it’s time to head home again. I thank Jessica for inviting us to her home so that we could meet you “again” and visit with you. Thanks for taking time for breakfast the other morning. Jerry, your ministry is most impressive and I thank God for your efforts in getting the gospel out to those around you. What an effective ministry it is. I still am amazed at it all. Know that we will be praying for you and your family. God has placed you in a strategic place for this time. Thank you for hearing and responding to that call. You should have heard our pastor’s message yesterday AM. Our responsibility as a church to missions around the world! He is not an excitable man, but he was laying it on – his heart in on the world! We have a couple heading for the far east – a most difficult ministry. They spoke to us last evening. It was a good day. Time slips by and one finds himself so close to the end of time here on earth. From one perspective that is going to be good….very good; but from another perspective one finds himself wondering how many opportunities were missed because of a lack of focus! You see, you bless me with what I see as your focus on what God has for you to do. Keep your eye on Him! Stay in touch!
