A Little Reminder...

Hey Everybody!

I just wanted to share a quick story with all of you that really caught my attention and softened my heart even more for what we are doing here.

Last week after school Melissa was talking to a parent in the lobby while she waited for her son Luke, who is a first grader to come bounding out of his classroom, down the stairs and through the hallway to head home for the weekend. While they were talking Luke's mom shared a story with Mel about something that had happend at home the night before. As Luke and his parents were getting ready for dinner they all sat down and Luke's dad began to pray. Right as he was about to say Amen, Luke jumped in mid sentence with a prayer of his own. He prayed "Thank you God for Mr. Wilcox, he is the best P.E. teacher in the world." (He is a first grader so I'm also the only P.E. teacher he has ever had HAHA) When I heard this story later that day I was blown
away! It's always great to know about and a huge blessing to have people pray for you, but when it comes from a kid in first grade who finds it important enough to interupt dad to sqeeze in a thank you to God, it really makes you stop and think.

It's stories like this one that have been happening so regularly here in Hungary that it's really beginning to be clear that God placed us here for a specific reason. It really is an amazing experience to see the impact we can all make on peoples lives whether that be here in Hungary or back home in the states. I just want to thank all of you back home who are supporting us and making this possible! Each and every one of you are a blessings to the kids and families here, and I wish you could all come and see what it is you are doing in their lives, because once you see it, you will be hooked on Hungary!

We love and miss you all!
