This and That

   Hello!  I haven't done a blog post since August! We have been busy with everyday life and ministry things. I thought I would give you guys a quick update on things things that we've been up to!

  In October our oldest, Elijah, became a teenager! I'm not sure if I have come to terms yet that I'm officially a mother of a teenager. One thing that I did this year is take all three of the kids birthday pictures. We had a blast!

Eli the teenager!
 
   
  In November our youngest, Eryn, turned 10! Once again, a milestone birthday. My baby is in the double digits!

  Also in November we were able to purchase our furlough tickets! We were amazed at how God provided. Marty sent out our October/November prayer letter asking for help to purchase our tickets. Within a few minuets we get a call saying that someone wanted to purchase our tickets! It was unexpected, but a huge blessing! We will be back February 14, 2018 until February 2019! 

 We spent Thanksgiving with another missionary family here in town, the Carney family. We had a great time of fellowship and food!

  Each year the towns here in Hungary have a Christmas market where they will sell all kinds of goodies! This year our town of Debrecen has a Ferris wheel! We got to ride it and the view was amazing!




  At the beginning of December Marty finished his third semester of language school, with a 99% on his final! He worked very hard and his hard work has paid off.

 Also in December Maryanna will be turning 12 on the 23rd. We went ahead a got a few pictures on a nice warmer day. All three kids hit milestone birthdays this year!

Maryanna, our diva! :) 
 The rest of our year is shaping up to be busy! In this next week we have
Mine and Marty's 15th wedding anniversary, Maryanna's birthday the 23rd, then Christmas! Craziness! :)  In January we move out of our apartment on the 19th, we will be staying at the church here in town until we leave in February. So, with all that being said, I may not post again until we are Stateside!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!!  
 

Boldog Karácsonyt! Boldog új évet!
