What's New
Spent time this week walking around Szombathely and getting to know the area. Looking for the Lords leading on timing and location for a new church plant.

Senja and I along with our translation friend Éva are working on translation of new tracts.

We are waiting not so patiently by the post box for our new 2 year visa application approval. After receiving these documents I will feel much better.. Lol

Please pray for us as we begin building relationships with the people of Szombathely. 
Some useful words we need to learn about the parking meters. 
Laura was very excited to order this "fank" all by her self in Hungarian.

What's New

This past week has been a long week. Our things were scattered around a bit in 3 different houses so I spent a lot of time driving around gathering, cleaning and getting things to the new city location. Some days were 10 hours of driving some less but through it all the Lord gave us safety.
Our new used car was in the shop getting some things done (in the shop for a week, this is quick for Hungary standards) so our first trip (4 hours with no traffic) we actually spilt up and Senja and Heidi took the train while me and the other kids drove the moving van. It was interesting timing to get to the house, unload and get to the train station to get the rest of the family... Lol

For Father's day Senja and the kids took me to a "Mexican" restaurant near the new house, it was good for but not really Mexican...

While I was traveling Senja and the kids started exploring the city, I would come back to lots of exciting stories about our new mission field.
I think this week is going to be a rest week but then again resting up I might get bored and start getting into trouble.

Please pray for the salvation of our Landlord and his family, they have been extra kind toward us and we hope to build a friendship that will lead them to the Saviour.
Please pray for us as we continue to reach out to our new city with the Gospel.
Please pray for us as we continue to learn Hungarian, all of our travel this week has provided great opportunity to practice what we learned in Texas as we interact with the people.

A funny chart pretending to explain the joy of learning Hungarian. It's actually much harder. :) 
I was able to order this all in Hungarian! Big success for me.

What a wonderful week! What a exciting exhausting week with over 1500 miles driven in the few days we have been back, also all inside the country, we have been chasing our tails in circles.
Praise God for safety as we have had several very close major accidents. Driving in Hungary is a great challenge at times with narrow roads and high speeds.

Several goals faced us last Sunday, a good used car, a temporary home as we seek to purchase a home, and most importantly our renewed visas.

I praise the Lord for allowing us to achieve these goals. This coming Thursday we will be moving into Szombathely. This city to my knowledge is relatively untouched with the gospel. 80 thousand people call this home, over half are Catholic and 38 % have a unknown veiw of religion. Of religion is not the answer but Christ alone.

Please continue to pray for our home purchase, for wisdom in the purchase process and for the funds to be provided.
Please pray as we continue to learn Hungarian, I am amazed at our progress because of our training in Texas.
Please pray for Szombathely and our outreach efforts as we settle in.

What's New
Jet lag has its way of winning. This week has been a long week traveling back to Hungary, but a good week.

Yesterday we had a great time of reunion with friends at Bible Baptist Church in Szolnok. Micah preached and did a great job.

We spent the week preparing for this coming week. Car shopping, visa application preparation and house hunting. Things in Hungary go very slowly but we are thankful for good health and so far a kinda smooth transition back.

Prayer list
Please pray for the 10 million people who need the gospel!
Please pray our visa process will be smooth and accepted.
Please pray for us to find a house to live in this week. We are currently living in a Airbnb house for 3 more weeks.

Thank you!
Jason
