Majoros Wedding

We have a new married couple in our church - Mr. and Mrs. Majoros!
Jani and Ági got married yesterday in the castle in Noszvaj, a village near Eger, where Ági is from.
Ági was one of the very first people in our church here - in fact, she's been around since before we were even a church, since we were just a Bible study meeting in a school on Wednesday nights, and Rosemary and I would drive up from Debrecen every week.
We've always thought that Ági was such a great person, and always prayed that God would give her a good husband and family, so we were really glad when Jani came around and they started dating.
Jani has been in the church for coming up on 2 yrs now. He's a great guy, who helps everyone out a lot - he's been a big help to us with our car. He's also a real man's man, one of a small breed of Hungarian hunters. We get along really well - we often go mountain biking or hiking or snowboarding together.
I officiated the wedding - in Hungarian. This is the second wedding I've done in Hungarian; its a lot of work, but its worth it.
Praise the Lord for bringing Jani and Ági together, and please pray that their marriage would be strong and founded in the ways of the Lord.
Here are some pics from their wedding:

Baptism Postponed

We had a baptism scheduled for tomorrow (Sun, Sept 21st), but since we do our baptisms in a lake, and the weather has been really cold and rainy, we have postponed it for 2 weeks, until Oct 5th.
This is also better for a few other reasons too. One of the guys who was to be baptized has to have a small surgery which got scheduled for tomorrow, and also this way more guests will be able to come.
We're believing that this is the Lord's will, but please pray that on Oct 5 there will be good weather, so we don't freeze and die, since that's getting pretty late in the year!
