Friends from Abroad



The past week or so we have been having fun with some friends from Hungary.  Julie went to college with Brent and came on staff with Campus Crusade with Brent maybe 10 or so years ago and is now in Hungary working with their high school student ministry.  I remember once at our friend Lisa's wedding Brent pointed out Julie and whispered in awe "there's Julie" and then I don't think we were able to talk to her since we had to leave the reception early for a staff conference.  ha! and she's every bit as great as Brent said.  She and her husband have two boys - Eli (5) and Jasper (2) who are both just so sweet and cute.  They are here for the holidays and we are blessed to have Julie's dad living close to us.  Which means more time to play with us.  Colin is just in awe of Eli. When a 5 year old thinks you are cool and wants to be your friend then its pretty amazing.  Its been fun getting to know Julie better and I wish they lived closer.  Its always so encouraging to be around Julie.  I have a feeling we'll have to go fly over to Hungary one of these days and visit.  In fact Colin keeps asking where Eli and Jasper live and if he can go fly on an airplane and go to their house. We are going to be so sad when they leave.

oh my goodness you are TOO kind, seriously, this post made me cry and I DO PRAY you can come to Hungary for a visit...maybe to do our English camps with us... if Brent could take off work for that long... what a dream. It would be so fun hanging out with you over there. I have really LOVED all the time together with you during our stay here!!!
