Time here coming to a end....

Tomorrow is our last day here in Hungary, well for most of us anyway. Some of us will be loading up in a car at 4:30 Saturday morning, driving to the Budapest airport, and taking off at 8:25. Um, so I don't want to leave. I miss my everyone back home, I miss riding, and everything about the ranch... but I just want it to all come here, ya know? I just don't want to leave this place, I have fallen so in love with it, and so in love with the people here.

It has been such an amazing blessing to be here. The Lord showed me so many things, through the classes, and everything! I have learned so much about prayer, for sure. And about how to really study the Bible, about leadership, and just being in ministry. I find myself just desiring to spend hours on end with our amazing Lord. Jesus has truly become my best friend on this trip, He has made it to where I have to be completely dependent on Him. I didn't understand when I first got here why I wasn't really making any friends, but now I see that through that it made me be completely dependent on Him, and helped me realize that He truly is the only thing that satisfies, nothing else in this life does. After all that though, I believe He allowed me to make friends. I love these guys here so much, we've become like one big family, leaving them is going to be almost as hard as it was leaving my real family. I pray that we all stay in touch, and remain good friends. Its been so good fellowshipping with these guys.

I am so thankful the Lord put me here this summer, its crazy to think that I was wanting to back out about a week before I left. Its crazy how fast its gone by, it sometimes seems like we should have just gotton here. I hope the Lord puts me back here one day.

Tomorrow we have our very last class. I will finish packing, go into Vajta one last time, and then tomorrow night we have a graduation, and a campfire. We're going to pull a all nighter and not go to sleep, we all just want to hang out..... Then........

We leave.

The hills are alive!

So we made our way back from the land of "The Sound of Music" on Sunday. We left early Saturday morning. Arrive in V*ienna about... 2:30ish, I believe.
We (well WE don't, the bus driver does) drive around town and for awhile trying to find the hostel.






Anyway, we get to the hostel, get checked in. Put our stuff into our rooms, and off we go into the unknown! We walk around....






I went into this sword shop... I wanted to buy one SO bad, they were so cool! I don't think it would have been allowed on the plane though....








We spend 3 hours shopping and such. Its amazing how many H&M's a place can have... I didn't even know what a stinkin' H&M was until I came here, its a clothing store BTW for those of you who don't know what one is either... but then ya'll probably know that, maybe I'm the only un-cultured one. Anyway, I saw a bunch of those... we had to go in one, and spend about a hour.
go into a few more random stores...and then go to STARBUCKS, WOOO!!! I went to a Starbucks... In A*USTRIA! yeaaaah.

see lookie, a carmel frappichino. Good stuff!


We then make our way to other places :)
















So the next day we went to Church....



Then do more touring around and such




Roman ruins... SO COOL!

Thats a palace behind us BTW.




Eating gelato!




THere, I am done. Those are all the pictures you get, I have been trying to get this gosh darned post over the course of like... two days, and its bugging me now :P So if you want to see the rest of the pictures, go to my web album thingy. I almost have them all up there.

Toodles!
