The City team started the day with the breakfast buffet before heading off to meet Esin at a local familiar statue, the "boa" (bull). We got on a bus and 35 minutes later arrived at Esin's church for an interesting service, where no English was spoken. We sang a couple of songs that we recognized from home that were sung in the local language. After communion and the service, we headed downstairs for fellowship with the members of the church. Lunch was at a great restaurant where the City team from 2 years ago ate.
The afternoon was more relaxed as our new friends, Esin, Lizzie, and Pablo, came back with us to our hotel, where we played many loud but fun games of spoons. After about an hour of annoying our leaders and fellow hotel residents with our excited yells, we went out to a local spot to watch the big soccer game. We took advantage of this place to eat a "fishy" dinner. As OUR team scored the first goal, a crowd of people (Allyson being the loudest...videos can prove this astonishing event), cheered as representatives of the rival team silently hated us. During half time we walked back to the hotel and some of us finished the game in the lobby.
We need our sleep for a long day tomorrow, more coming soon.

Hey City team, hope your day has been blessed. Here at home it is like freeeeeeeeeeeezing. LOL Had great time of worship and fellowship at church. I hope and pray that you all will come away with something new to share at home. It's great what you are doing and I am praying for all who are abroad on mission. Be well, be safe and be, hmmmm, crAZY? (look who's crazy, can't type correctly!) Love to all and God's blessings and protection.
Great to hear what's been going on with the City crew. As you take in the city, spend time with E and other followers remember just how few believers there are where you guys are and encourage them as much as possible. Enjoy some Simit Sirayi for me, drink as much cai as you can (your welcome Allyson), and remember how nice it is to have a personal wake up call at 5 in the morning!
Love From Hungary,

Hey city team,
Sounds like you guys have had your hands full with things to do, I'm glad to hear that you've gotten the chance to start taking in the sites as well as the wonderful culture. I can only wonder how many of you have gotten " the look" from Allyson yet!? I enjoyed reading about your time of worship this Sunday and glad that you got to meet many of the same people that I had the chance to meet past year. Anyway I will continue to lift you all in prayer.

Allyson, Glad you guys had a great day in the city. Praying for your days ahead and for all of the people you will encounter "as you go." Enjoy! Lori
Hi City Team (especially Dean),
I've been praying for you a lot - day and night.
Dean: Ian really misses you AND the x-box :-) The basketball team can't wait until you get back and can play; They lost tonight. The vote for licensing Lawrence got 78% so he'll have his work cut out for him now.
Thanks so much for the updates. I checked the website for the hotel you're staying in...nice!
Can't to hear more about how God has worked in each of your lives.
I love you, Dean!
Thinking of you all this morning as I watch the snow come down and leave another 2" dusting. My heart is happy knowing you are having a great time over there making connections. I LOVE SPOONS

Allyson loud? In the City?? I'm shocked!!! I think the Holy Spirit overtook her body. :) (But isn't that how it should always be?)
Just kidding. We have special ties to the City and are remembering to pray for you ALL.
Hey guys - Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and praying you will have an opportunity to make a difference on your trip. Know God can open the door. Look forward to following along with you during your trip. Fran Cooley
