Rain, rain, go away!***Now updated with pictures***

Busy times here...both at our house and in Holly's student work.

Please pray with us that today's rainy skies in Debrecen clear up before this afternoon!  The kick-off to this year's student ministries is scheduled for this afternoon at 5:00 (10:00 a.m. CST), and it's an outdoor event.  A traditional Hungarian bacon roast, to be precise (szalonnasütés)...pork fat on a stick, roasted over an open fire, then dripped onto bread decorated with fresh, sliced veggies.  Yummy!  More about that later, but at this point we have no "Plan B," and the skies are gray and drippy, and look like they intend to stay that way.   Hundreds of invitations have been handed out around campus; we are looking at each other, up at the sky, and folding our hands in prayer....

Thanks for joining us!

***********************************UPDATE****************************************

Thank you to everyone who prayed for good weather for the cookout--it cleared up about an hour before the event began, and everything went fine!  We had a great time hanging out with those who came.  It was a great opportunity to get to know folks better, and some good conversations were had.  Here are a bunch of pictures to help you get a feel for how the evening went.
