Spring has sprung.

The flowers' scents have been filling my nose and the sun has been kissing my face as Spring begins to be sprung here in Vajta. As I walk outside and breathe in the fresh air I begin to think that it's not fair that I get to live here in Hungary and do what I do. But (as a popular Relient K song we all know says) "the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair." I am so undeserving of this life I've been given in Christ. My weeks are filled with bible classes, fellowship, ministering to some special people in the village, and my weekends are filled with outreach mission trips, volleyball, and laughter. The Lord is gracious.
This Friday is the first day of our ten day mission trips. My team of 6 is going to Celje, Slovenia. We will be pouring out love and time on the teenagers and young adults there, serving at a wedding, evangelizing praying a ton, cleaning the church, and encouraging the church in anyway we can. I'm so excited for this opportunity to share Jesus' light in this dark country :)
English lessons with Noemi are going so great. We really are building up such a friendship. She even dyed parts of my hair pink this week! I love that she is so open and curious about the school here. I just want her to know Jesus!
The coolest thing happened this past weekend. As I was sitting on the lawn, I noticed some Deaf people touring the campus! Turns out, every July there is a Deaf camp that comes here (half American sign and half Hungarian sign). I got so excited that I just went right up to them and asked if I could join them for the couple hours they were there. I missed signing so much! They were so friendly to let me hang out with them and soak in the signs. They even said that if I can extend my plane ticket to leave in July rather than June then  I can help out with the Deaf camp! That would be such an awesome opportunity to use this seemingly random gift of ASL in HUNGARY for unsaved Deaf teens. So neat.
I've been praying about becoming an intern here at the school. The opportunity seems to have been presented to me and my heart is very inclined toward it. I want to be a missionary so bad and why leave a missionary hub right now? I am going to apply this week and see what happens. It would certainly help prepare me for ministry outside of this school (it is a very intensive program). My heart certainly seems to be desiring it. We'll see. I would need to raise at least $5,000 for the whole 13 months...which really isn't much. Where else can you live off of that little amount for over a year?? And the cherry on top is that my mom supports this option...which was completely unexpected! Like I said...we shall see!
Life is good.
