autumn leaves fall ... the work goes on ...
Thanks for your prayers. It means a lot to know that as the nights draw in, the temperature drops, the work continues ... that there are friends and family members praying both for us and the ongoing work here in Hungary.
Looking back: October seems to have flown by, we had a lovely visit from Sheffield friends, visited Romania during the school break (stayed at an inspirational place for orphans set up by Christians - www.caminulfelix.org), and spent lots of time nursing children with illnesses (David: Pneumonia & Bronchitis, Réka: bad cough and chest) then helping them catch up with school work. Excitingly our church has appointed new elders who have brought renewed energy and enthusiasm with ideas of restarting a 'family monthly group' and adapting the 'mens' group'.
Looking forward: November seems to be a busy month with lots of exciting things in the diary - we just hope and pray that the kids stay well, (at the time of sending we've just found out that Réka has a mild form of pneumonia and will be off school for at least a week!) and that we can use our time wisely.
Praise God for …
... we hear Christmas is coming ...
With lots of love
Andy, Zsófi, David, Réka & Emily

- Keeping us going through a tiring month ... David's illness dragged on with many trips to the doctors / lung hospital - but praise God it all cleared up and we got through.
