The mission trip was very exciting. In Romania we got a lot of chances to minister on healing retreats and we even got plenty of opportunities to get off the base and see local markets and coffee shops. We had an opportunity to visit a children's home nearby the base. It was actually an orphanage but with a better name. I had a lot of fun playing with the kids there but none of them spoke any English so we just communicated with the toys and the kids had so much fun playing with the flash on my camera. It was very new to them. At the end each of us were given a child to pray for and the little girl I prayed for didn't know what I was saying but she bowed her head and closed her eyes anyways and when I finished I said "Amen" and she corrected me because it was supposed to be "Amin".


In Hungary we toured around Budapest the first day and got to see castle hill and all the parliament buildings. In the photo on the right is a palace guard but he was really scary because he had a gun and that was as close as I was going to get. We also went to a big market which basically sold a lot of fruit and meat and then the christmas market which was really cool because it was at night and there was a lot of christmas lights and a giant tree in the middle of it all lit up. There people would set up booths to sell their own home made food, clothes, toys, tools... you name it. It was really neat to see the skill and work put into some of the things people were selling for only a few thousand forint! 
We also did more ministry at the Ellel Hungary base but mostly people came to us to get ministry so there wasn't much outreach in the city itself which I probably would have liked more of. Durring our stay in Hungary I got very sick was in bed for most of an evening and the entire next day. Thankfully everyone was praying for me and I got better quickly. It must have been something I ate...
