Zip your lips and don't tell Paul... I'm in love! On August 9th our newest, most favorite neice, Sylvie Marie Hurst, entered the world! Now, I am usually not much of a "kid person", believe it or not. But this little baby has grabbed a hold of my heart and wrapped it around her little finger! Sylvie is the most beautiful, most precious, and most adorable little being I have ever met. Perhaps I am biased, since her mother is my twin sister, but you have to agree, she is a looker! God has truly blessed Paul and I with a wonderful family, who we have greatly enjoyed this summer. Little Sylvie is making it hard to say goodbye!
Paul and I have had quite a summer, traveling from church to church, planning a funeral and a baby shower, graduating college, promoting a cookbook, meeting our niece, and meeting with supporters; all the while, keeping up with work back in Hungary! We have met many wonderful people, and we have been reminded of the great team God has given us back in the States. We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of our supporters, whether they give financially or through prayer. Although our furlough has been long, we have truly been blessed through each contact and meeting. On Monday, August 23rd, Paul and I will say goodbye to our family in Indiana and fly down to Dallas, Texas, where we will meet with supporters for a week. Then it is back home to Hungary! I can't wait!
All together we will have traveled to 18 different churches and seven different states this summer. We have met with many wonderful people and have truly been blessed by each one. Below are some photos of our summer adventures!
