That is how many countries I was in yesterday! I left Bucharesti at 6am, arrived in Budapest to sort out my legal stuff and then back to Slovakia. Budapest held good news and bad news. The good news is that I had more documents than they needed and that I could come back to Slovakia. The bad news is that I have to get permission from the Minister of Foriegn Affairs in order to apply there, and that it would take significantly longer than anticipated. But, that's ok. We can handle that. I was a little nervous coming home, but everything turned out alright in the end. I just have to go back there in a week and find out if they'll let me apply there. So that's something that you can continue to pray for,

Oh, I totally changed my look. Nancy and I went to get our hair done! I have gotten nothing but good responses, although I have to admit it's taken a little to grow on me. It's completely different than anything i've ever had!

I am SOOOO glad for that trip down to Romania. Exactly what I wanted and needed. I was able to get the information that I wanted and more, and I had a fabulous time with old friends and getting to make new ones! It's funny. I had seen so many pictures of these people before, that I felt like I knew them when I arrived. It was almost like, "what do you mean you don't know me? Oh yah, we've never actually met!" So I am so incredibly glad that I was there. And so very thankful to Nancy for hosting me and being ever so wonderful! :)
