After settling in and learning the in's and out's of the city, Mandi, Liz, Luke, and I set our for our first STINT adventure. Before arriving to Budapest, our apartment had been completely furnished, but the mattresses had not yet arrived. So...after sleeping on the floor for a few weeks and a new hunched posture, we decided to set out on an adventure and find us some mattresses! Mandi knew of some mattresses that were being stored in someones garage, but the problem was they lived about 40 minutes away and we did not have a car. With positivity in mind, we ventured out to find the mattresses. Here is an account of our adventure...
Although I doubted all along the way, Mandi, Liz, Luke, and I successfully carried two mattresses, by bus, across the city of Budapest!!
My first ministry experience began about one week after I arrived in Budapest. We called these weeks BLITZ weeks! Blitz weeks consisted of two full weeks of talking in high schools all day long. Each day we would wake up early, go into english classes at high schools, introduce ourselves and talk about the state where we are from, play games, and then get into small groups and get to know the students. Our ultimate goal of the blit
z weeks was to tell the students about the outreach we would be having and our meetings that we have each week for high school students. During the second week of the two blitz there was a group of americans that came and helped us talk in the high schools. At the end of the two weeks we had an improv theatre outreach. Many many students came and although the whole thing was in hungarian I thought the improv was very funny! It was a fun first two weeks of ministry and it allowed me to get to know lots and lots and lots of students!!
More to come...
