Hey all!
I finished language school today! Its been a good few weeks settling in here to life in Erd!
I learned something the last few weeks, Hungarian is as hard as everyone was telling me...but at least I now understand that first hand! :) The hardest part is the verb endings because it is so different than I have ever had to think before. If you want more information then you can wikipedia Hungarian Verb Endings... :) I am excited to be finished with the daily 3 hours of headaches, but I also need to keep on working the language cuz I am still clueless on so much. Please pray that I would continue to work on the language and keep pushing, even though I am out of class.
The first weekend here we went to Hódmezővásárhely for an indoor tournament with 13-16 year olds, and we took 2nd and 4th! I was able to coach the younger team that ended in 4th (the Giants), and it was a ton of fun! Oh and don't even try to say that towns name out loud, its hopeless... :)
I don't really know all to cover since I haven't been updating much, so I will work to do that more... :) A little about my routine the last few weeks. I am getting up early to hop onto a train to go to class that starts around 9, but really it doesn't start till 9:30 cuz nobody else in the class is on time, but thats all good, it gives me time to relax! Class gets over around noon and then I have had the opportunity to go around the city exploring! Its been really good to get out and get comfortable in this amazing city! I was able to go to Hero Square, Castle Hill, Holocaust Museum, and so many other places! I haven't had to rush home, so I am free to do almost anything! History around here is incredible and I feel like I have been able to learn so much!
Last Saturday we had a full day of practice, and it was fun to be able to meet most of the players from all of the different age groups! 6 hours of practice is a lot, but its good to start the relationship building! Tomorrow we have a tournament for the young group of kids and then adults so I am looking forward to that! Enjoy baseball is odd, but quite entertaining!
Next week will be the first week that Terry and I go to the local school to teach kids about baseball. Please pray that we would be able to find some kids willing to play and join so that we can start to show them a little Jesus!
Finally, I am finding out Sunday if I am able to help out at a youth group at a local church here, so I am excited to get involved in that way, even though there will be a good sized language barrier...I am also helping with a weekly Baseball Bible Study with Terry on Fridays and basketball on Wednesdays! Its kept me busy and its always good to run around! Thanks for all your prayers and supports, I will put some pictures of the city up on facebook soon!
