Arrival....Back to Budapest

That's right...I'm back in Hungary. I arrived in the country at about 11:00 am local time. For all you state-side in EST that's about 5 am your time. Thus, my travel time was approximately 13 hours. Not bad. It went by pretty quickly. I slept a little on the plane. I got here, had lunch at the school, was welcomed back warmly, and started the routine of re-entering my home and culture. It's been busy. I've already unpacked and gone to the grocery store. I've hooked the internet back up. And, I've slept in my bed again. Sleeping wasn't hard, waking up was.

Of course it's good to be back here with all the familiar people and places I love. There are a few things I miss about being home:
1. Starbucks
2. My mom's homecooked meals- I was spoiled over the summer ;)
3. My boyfriend (he should probably be higher on the list)
4. My car- but driving manual is kind of like riding a bike - it wasn't hard to get back into it
5. Laziness

As I anticipate school starting, I'll keep you updated on how all the planning goes and what needs prayer. Right now- I'd love to just cover my students with prayer. There will be a few classes of students I've never taught before, I'm really excited about this but also a little nervous. So please, pray for my unconditional love for them and their readiness and willingness to learn!
