We are currently in Dallas, TX, staying with family and enjoying our time. William is swimming everyday, playing with a big black lab named Carly, and scooting everywhere. :) It's been such a blessing to spend a lot of time with family and for William to get to know them!
We've met with a few people about our ministry and are thankful for those opportunities. This coming Sunday (Aug. 15) we will be speaking at an adult Sunday School class about what we do at the International Christian School of Budapest. We appreciate your prayers!
It's been hard to balance family time and working. Because we've lost financial support over the past years, we really need to find new financial supporters to help us stay in Hungary. So this is another facet of our ministry. It's almost like a second job! We have to talk on the phone a lot and try to make as many appointments with people as possible. I have to be honest about not being the most motivated about it. I just want to spend time with family and friends while we're here!
And it's funny about not being motivated, because we LOVE what we do at ICSB! And we've gotten such encouraging words from so many people. The Lord just needs to continually work on me (Michelle) as far as trusting Him to provide, despite my weaknesses. I could go on about this, but I won't now. Just please pray for me!
"She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." Proverbs 31:27

I'm so glad you are having a wonderful time with friends and family back home! It is difficult to trust the Lord to provide for our needs when it seems as missionaries that we have to do so much work to find the money instead of just getting a paycheck. I have been learning a lot this summer about worry because I do so much of it! Am praying that the Lord would give you his peace, direct you where to go, and provide for your needs. See you soon!
hugs, I know it is hard balancing. I only get to see my friends briefly for a week while traveling and so that means 1 big party and a few one on one's and that is it... and sometimes I don't get to see everyone. I hate it. It is so lame... and my family doesn't understand how we can go back and be "on vacation" and only spend 1 week with them (mostly my mom) and just see my brother for 1-2 days. It is hard. And Zach's side of the family (minus parents and 1 sister) have never met Jasper and he is 3. We haven't made it to the midwest in almost 4 years. Crazy!!! So all that to say, I understand!!! Keep being faithful and God will provide :) HUGS and cannot wait to have you HOME :)
