We had an awesome 3+ weeks in the States with Chris’ family. I got to meet many of them and I enjoyed getting to know all of them!

Lauren and I |
Shortly after we arrived a very good friend of mine, Lauren Unkefer, came to visit us. She spent a couple of days with us and I really enjoyed seeing her again! I wish we had more time, but I’m truly grateful for that short time as well!
I spent a lot of time putting puzzles together. I really enjoyed spending time with Chris and his family that way : ). They have some pretty cool puzzles!
Chris’ dad, Dave James, teaches at the church on Wednesday nights so we had the chance to be there each Wednesday. The church also has a little Bible School on Thursday nights and Dave is one of the teachers. Chris got to go once and he really enjoyed it.
The church is in Paris, Illinois and Chris’ parents live in Terre Haute, Indiana but it’s sooo worth it to drive there at least 3 times a week (Wednesday nights, Sunday mornings and nights).
The name of the church is Community Bible Church and I have to say that church is a dream church. You can check it out by clicking

The people are amazingly friendly and showing God’s love to all! We felt so loved and were befriended from the first moment we stepped in. The families there are such examples!
We made a lot of friends and cannot wait to have a chance to visit them again!
Shortly after Christmas Chris’ sister drove us to Indianapolis where we had the Second Annual WOL Hungary Reunion. We were really excited to see many of our classmates and friends and spend 3 days with them.
The airline we flew with lost my luggage for good, so I was in need of clothes. God provided through a sister of Stephen Long’s, who was Chris’ classmate. Amy gave me so much clothes that it filled a whole suitcase! I wear them ever since! It really is amazing how God cares for us!
It was so good to meet a lot of Chris’ family members and spend time with them. I wish we had more time but hopefully soon enough we will see them again! They are all very nice people and made me feel so welcomed.
Well, now that we are back, I’m looking forward to the Annual Summer Staff Reunion and the Missions Conference. I’m sure they both are going to be very awesome!
God bless you all and thank you for reading this!
