St. Mark's Mission Team in Szeged, Hungary

Hi all, Here's the combined family: the congregation of Methodist Church in Szeged, Hungary, with the mission team from St. Mark's United Methodist Church of El Paso, Texas. Yes, Rick and I went on a mission trip. I am standing right in the center of the crowd behind the young man in the bright blue t-shirt.

We worked very hard. The pastor and his family was extraordinarily friendly and generous and warm and supportive. It was incredible. In the lower left hand corner of the photo is Margaret/"Moncy", the pastor's mother, who is the same age as my mother, Ruth, would be. We bonded. This only enhanced the entire experience.

I'll try to upload some of the views from our short sightseeing adventure in Budapest that was tacked onto the end of our trip. Budapest is a very exciting and interesting city. Two thumbs up for those who care to keep track.
