Day 12 (July 30, 2012)

Today is my birthday! In Hungary! If I think in both Hungarian time AND Winnipeg time, I get to celebrate my birthday for extra long...haha :)

It was a bit more of a relaxing morning, as Rebecca wasn’t picking us up until 11am. But everyone was back at the training centre, so there were a lot of people. I enjoyed playing cards (a game called “Rage”) with Phil, Sabastian, Vicki, and Hannah. I think I won, but I can’t remember!

For lunch we went to an Italian place in Budapest called Marcello’s. It was really good - I had spaghetti with a white, cheesy sauce and mushrooms.

 Then Rebecca had to do a couple of errands and then we went to the Covered Market. The Covered Marked it kind of like the Forks here in Winnipeg, except bigger and filled with Hungarian stuff! It was awesome - I'd love to spend more time there!! After that we went to a cafe and had cake. I had this really good chocolate torte, as well as a chocolate ball covered in almond slivers and caramel. So good!

After that we went to Rebecca’s and watched some more Olympics. We had watermelon and popcorn. We went back to OM around 9:00, and Attila came by with his family to say goodbye to us. A nice surprise was that he handed me a Bibila (Hungarian Bible), and everyone signed it. I had been trying to get one while I was there, but couldn’t find any - I wanted to start collecting Bibles from each country I travel to for missions (in their language). Luckily, Alegria was sneaky and set the whole thing up with Attila! I am so blessed. :)

Anyway, off to bed! We are leaving at 4:30am to go to the airport!
