girls conference

January 16-17 I participated in a girls retreat in Mikeperc, which is a village outside of Debrecen, with goodsports international. This retreat was for the orphan girls of Miskolc. We were in small groups and were able to cover some of the issues that face girls everyday. Also helping were students from Biola University in California and the Debreceni youth group from Calvary Chapel. Here is the skit that Biola preformed for the girls saturday night after our panel discussion of what do guys really think... for pictures click here and then on outreach projects!

cookies and carols

In November, I began helping with an english class in a neighboring city. I teach the advanced class and we were studying the christmas story. This is my first experience ever teaching english and for those who currently read this blog i'm sure you have your founded concerns. Thankfully it isn't all about how competent I am in english grammer and syntax, but in building relationship and sharing the most important lesson that i could ever teach, the gospel. My students are very kind and patient people and it is a pleasure to get to know them. We had a chistmas party before i left for the states and we had gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies and sang christmas carols in both english and hungarian. here is a little taste.
