I have finally had it to Europe! I have been here about 11 or 12 days. This is very different but still somewhat familiar. It is still familiar in ways like the apartments look like some in the states, I have a bathroom in my apartment, there is McDonalds, and the clothes and people and stores look like America in some way. I know people who are in harder places than me. But once you get around the people and into some of these places, this place is very different. The language is really different from English and the people are a lot more guarded than in the states so smile at people is weird to them. I really feel like I am like a 5 year old child because I cannot communicate with the people and I do not know where anything is and I do not know anyone here. I really like my apartment. It is very warm and comfortable. I really appreciate all the work that went into it. Today I started learning the language. I am glad that I am learning the language so I can understand and communicate somewhat. I am sure you are wondering why I wrote the title of this post, "My life is not like mayonnaise." Yesterday someone ask us if our life was like mayonnaise, meaning that life is good but boring. Mayonnaise is good by itself but you cannot live on just mayonnaise, you need other stuff too for your taste buds. Right now God is teaching my to live my life more than just good but amazing. First He moved my to Europe, ok check. Now He is taking away all the comforts of home, ok check. Now I can start to truly rely on the Lord and live my life for Him. So the Lord is adding spice to my life here in Hungary because this is a challenge but a blessing too. So the challenge for the day: Is my life just mayonnaise or is it more?
