Arrival in Mohacs

News of a record number of campers signed up for this year's English camp left us scrambling at the last minute to print more materials amidst last minute packing. It was a short night for most of the remaining members of the team who left from Iowa on July 23rd. The Albert City and Havelock contingent left home about 5:30 a.m. Arriving in good time in Des Moines to meet the two remaining members of the team still in Iowa. What a gorgeous morning it was as we greeted the sun rising in the east. As we began our eastward journey the "Windy City" was our first stop where we made it through to our gate without incident. There we met Carly. We boarded the massive Boeing 777 and departed at 2:20. Mission groups get priority seating...NOT. That is why most of us occupied the very last seats on this massive plane with 10 seats across (in economy class). Row 45 was the place to be. Actually the lavatory traffic was minimal and no small children so nobody behind us to bother and we were content to ride it out. I must say that the turbulence seems to be accentuated in the back of the plane. At times I felt myself rocking back and forth in my seat. But I love roller coasters so it was an adventure, although I have never tried to sleep on a roller coaster :). I'll spare your the rest of our travel detail sis, suffice it to say that sleep was scarce but every leg of the journey went smoothly. Upon arrival in Budapest we were greeted by our gracious hosts the Dans, my niece Natalie and her husband Brsdley who had arrived a couple of days early, and some friends from previous camps--Dani and Timi and their newborn baby boy. A three hour van ride found us in Mohacs. A quick shower and we were off to lunch. Traditional vegetable soup, fried cheese, and fries with ranch dressing. Actually quite yummy. Right now most of us who just arrived are still in a fog and are trying to nap. Sleep will be "fast and short" these next few days so we are trying to catch up. Praying for our hearts to engage in ministry while our minds and bodies make the adjustments. I read the feeding of the multitudes in Mark 6. Jesus asked the disciples to give what they had and trust Him with the "details". If you think about it the details were overwhelming. Right now The Lord is asking us to give what we have and trust Him with the details. Camp starts tomorrow.
