Merry Christmas!! Boldog Karácsony!!
We're very excited to come home and see everyone! It's been fun watching all the Christmas decorations fill the streets of Kecskemét. We've had
snow the last few days which makes everything even more beautiful! For a few new pictures - including some of our snowy town - go to

Eric's ankle is healing slowly, but surely. The team doctor said that he was not to play for a good 3 weeks. That means that his first game back should
have been this coming Wednesday (19th). His coach, however, was not satisfied with that answer :) and made Eric practice last week. About ten
minutes into the practice Eric tweaked his ankle again, keeping him out for another week. He hasn't played in the last two games, which is good, and
the coach apologized. We're praying that everything goes well this Wednesday when he plays for the first time in several weeks.
My teaching has been going very well. I have posted a few pictures of one of my students, Adél, on the website. I recently asked Adél's mother what
they were doing for Christmas and what the traditional food was that is prepared for the family. She told me that all her family was coming to her house
this year for their traditional roasted goose liver, topped off with fish soup. Mmmmmm. Appetizing. :)
Several of you have been asking about our "coming home schedule"; here it is: We'll be leaving Budapest at 10:30 am on the 20th (which is 1:30 am
PST time). From there we'll fly to Germany, then to Colorado, where we'll catch our last flight to Portland. We'll be arriving to Portland at 7:30 pm on
the 20th. It will be a LOOONG day, but this flight will actually be much 'quicker' than the one we took to get over there several months ago! :) My
brother will drive us down to Medford from Portland late on the 20th. Eric needs to be back in Hungary on the 30th, so he'll be leaving from Portland
on the 29th. I will stay until January 6th.
We're hoping to rest up Eric's ankle, enjoy time with our family and friends, and attend Bear Creek Church while we're at home....we've missed you all!
Please pray for safe, uneventful travels and for a God-glorifying Christmas celebration!
Merry Christmas! :)
Love,
Eric and Kellie
