Szia RCC family and friends, On our first day of arrival we stopped by the Paulus Community center and I was excited to see a familiar face: one of the girls that was in my English class last summer. I was ecstatic when she told me that she'd be helping with the children's English/Converse camp with us. I wasn't sure how much time we'd actually get to spend together, but I have been so thankful with the time that we've had. Her English has improved so much within the last year. Today, she asked if I could write a quote on her water bottle. I immediately thought to write one of my favorite verses down, so I showed her Psalm 139:14 "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." I then proceeded to tell her the meaning for the verse and why I chose to share it with her; she was beaming. Thanks to the Holy Spirit I asked her if she would like to read the entire Psalm. It was absolutely incredible to see the Gospel come alive through this Psalm. Between reading, defining words, and even drawing things on the board to help us understand one another we were able to engage in deep spiritual conversation. We talked about how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are One, how God leads us and only wants the best for us, and that when we give our lives to Him there is NO WHERE we can go to escape Him. At one point in our conversation I asked her if she had ever exchanged her life for His, and she shared that at a Christian camp a few years ago she had and her eyes lit up which was an answer to prayer. I had asked God for a chance to get a glimpse into her heart, and He did much more than I could ask or imagine! After sharing that God is our Father and loves us more than even our earthly fathers, she later made the statement, "We are sisters, because God is our Father." I would love for you to pray for Fanni. She is an adorable 14 year old girl who is now interested in getting plugged into the Paulus youth group and is going to join us this Sunday at the Paulus church. Please pray that she'd get plugged in and be discipled. God is at work in Hungary. Jackie
