Visiting Mukachevo, Ukraine

Soon after my arrival in Hungary several weeks ago I boarded a train and headed off to Mukachevo, Ukraine to visit the de Vuyst family who serve there with CRWM. I had a great time playing with the kids, visiting their church, and looking at some of the sights. Having visited Hungary for the first time in 1993 crossing the border into Ukraine was like going back into time. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Welcome to Heidi and Andrea's Flat


Two years ago I shared with you pictures of the SheShe house which was my first home in Hungary.  I lived there for two years, but my roommates and I decided to move.  I opted to move into the ‘city’ where I now have more access to public transportation and the downtown core, but a longer commute to work.    I have a wonderful new roommate named Heidi who works with Youth with a Mission (YWAM). 
Here are some pictures of our flat which is part of a duplex.  This flat is typical housing for Hungarians.

Születésnap

Sunday was my birthday and I was also speaking at Rehoboth Christian Reformed Church in Bowmanville.  I would like to thank the church for allowing me to share about my ministry at ICSB and for the birthday surprise:

 A special thanks goes out to Holly for her baking ability.  The cake was delicious.
