Sunday

Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little before going to the Paulus service held at the ICSB (International Christian School Budapest). The service is very similar to ours at RCC. They do many of the same songs that we do (or have in the past) like "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High" and "How Great Thou Art [Vander Veen]". They still take prayer requests every week from the body and lift them up. It was so good seeing friends from years past and seeing how the kids, especially those of the Paulus team, are growing up.
After church we hit Tesco (Wal-Mart) to pick-up some supplies and grab some lunch. Most of enjoyed some high-quality Chinese food, so that we could get back to the Paulus Haz to prep for the week. The afternoon was spent going over the English class material, breaking up into Dance and Basketball groups to review plans, and setup the various rooms for the kids.
By the end of the planning, we were all feeling pretty good about the week ahead, knowing that the most important part was to laugh with and share love with the kids. The team headed back to the hotel around dinner time and walked to Pesaro Etterem (a pizzeria which feels like a German restaraunt) for dinner. We got a bunch of pizza (including Hot Smoke for those previous team members) to share and enjoyed an evening with just the team. We laughed a lot and heading back at a reasonable hour to rest before our busy week ahead.
