Hungarian Friends Visit Us in Virginia

We have been moving through an eventful and challenging year in the USA. Transitions are not easy, as we left Szeged last summer and have been planning for our new life in Germany, where we arrive in June. But we are thankful to family and many friends with whom we have had extra time in the States this past year. Before we share more of our plans toward Deutschland, we would like to share one of the highlights of the year - the visit of our Hungarian friends to us here in Virginia!

The Mihalecz family - Béla, Bea, and daughter Regina (Regi) - visit was a great joy for us, as they came for 11 days on their first trip out of their homeland. We had such a wonderful time with them here in Central Virginia. We hosted them in our temporary home in Maidens outside Richmond, and we introduced them to many friends in the area, including several events with our Hope Church family. We made a special trip down to Donna's family in Dinwiddie County and enjoyed a visit to Central Baptist Church there as well. Virginia history and culture was important as we made trips to Charlottesville and Williamsburg. See the pics below for better flavor of these special days together!
