The Letourneau University


At the end of the christmas holidays and durning the New Year, a team of students from Letourneau University came to hosted a week of coffee houses in order to meet hungarian and international students. It was such a privilege to get to know them and to be able to work with them. Letourneau University is located in Longview Texas where it is nice and warm and as you can see by the white substance in the air it was a little colder here but they handled it wonderfully!

During different nights of the coffee house the team and the students would showcase their different talents or just have something fun to do. Sarlota instructed us one night in traditional Hungarian folk dance. you can see for yourself it was a lot of fun, and takes balance.


Other events that we had were a movie night, Scottish folk dancing, and on New Years we tied balloon animals, hats, swords and all kinds of things. Also on New Years eve after the coffee house, we went to the city center with Sarlota and her sister Anita for the fireworks. There was a band and it was snowing! We counted down the new year in hungarian and had a blast. It was a wonderful evening.



During the days the team either went to the mall, the city center or to the medical students dorm to invite people to come enjoy the free coffee at the coffee houses in the evening.

Two days after Christmas, I went to a castle with my language teacher and friend Eva and her family. Unfortunately we were not permitted to take picture inside of the castle so here are a couple of the ones in the foyer and outside. And YES that is snow on the ground.

Christmas Day


Christmas morning after I opened the gifts that I received from america I went to the Millers. We had breakfast and exchanged giftss as well as opening our stockings. This is the first time that my stocking has actually been a sock:)



Here is the fest: we had turkey and stuffing, broccoli salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole and for dessert a resemblance to death by chocolate. Afterwards, we watched a movie and talked to our families. It was a good day and a great reminder of all that I have to be thankful for, especially my salvation.
