Update

Hey everyone! Hope that you all are enjoying the Christmas season! This has always been my favorite time of year! We have two more weeks of school before Christmas break! It is going to be sad not being with any family for Christmas, but many people have already invited us over and I know we will have a good time! There is a big Christmas market in dowtown Budapest with all kinds of stands set up and lights everywhere. It is really pretty and a lot of fun to walk around there. We have already been twice and will probably go again! We wish you all could join us too!

Last Friday night, ICSB had a coffee house event to raise money for ovarian cancer research (the foundation is called "Teal Toes"). Many people came out to enjoy live music and coffee and treats. It was great to see how many people were there and to be able to fellowship with everyone! The highschool student council worked really hard to put everything together and they did a great job!

This Thursday is Brandon's and my last day to teach our English class to the local Hungarians. It has been a great experience and we have been able to get to know some great people!

Here are a couple pictures from what we have been up to! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
