Another day in Eger

Another day in Eger...

It is about 10:00pm here in Hungary while in the states you are most likely just getting ready to make dinner after an afternoon nap (we are 7 hours ahead). It has been a very long day full of new people to meet and books to sort. A highlight of the day has been dinner. Each different particpant in the Forum is assigned a different table to sit at in hopes of mixing people from other countries together for meal times. This is very exciting for me as I was able to have a wonderful conversation with a Scottish gentleman, a British gentleman, as well as an American living in Budapest for the past 16 years. We will sit in these same groups for the first three days of the conference and then will have themed nights such as national night where citizens from the same countries all sit together. Thus far, meeting all these different people from different parts of the world has been the most enjoyable for me. I can't help but grin everytime I hear a new accent! Today both Michelle and I found it more difficult to wake up and are feeling the long days more and more. Again, please pray that we will not lean on our own strength but that of the Lord and are able to serve these amazing people to the best of our ability.
Love in Christ, Elisabeth and the Team
