This morning Gary and I and the Doc's Friends bluegrass gospel band packed up and went to Tiszafüred--about an hour away from Debrecen--where the concert will be tonight. The big piac [PEE-ahts] (open market) wasn't being held today, but the indoor one was. We split into two groups and walked around that area and then down several of the main streets inviting people to tonight's concert and giving them the information flyer. I was so proud of the band members! After arriving only yesterday and while dealing with jet lag, they quickly learned some greetings and other phrases and fearlessly used them with the Hungarians they met.
We took a little time to stop by the community building where the concert will be held, and they were able to look over the room we will be using tonight. It looks like it will be really good...the lady who showed it to us said that the acoustics are great. We were able to have a good conversation with her, and I hope to be able to continue this new friendship over the coming months.
I (Carolyn) will not be going to the concert tonight, as Holly and I have an appointment to go to a lawyer's office to sign the contract on her new apartment. I'm very sorry to miss the concert, but I'm also thankful that Holly (and Stacia) will have a good place to live. Holly is supposed to be moving out of her old apartment today--the landlord family has moved back from London--but delays and complications with the contract have put us behind schedule. Please pray that things go smoothly and that we can move her things to the new place tomorrow.
Also please pray for the concert in Tiszafüred - it begins at 6 PM tonight (11 AM CST) and will be followed by coffee and snacks and time to hang out with the band. Pray for the message in the music to come through, and for wisdom and good communication as the band members mingle with the people.
