When we came back we had team devotions but for me this was cut short as I felt really ill, and it came to the point where I had to leave the room in order to be sick. I then took to my bed, however I was shiverng and felt so hot and miserable that I could not sleep. And as Agi heard a lot that afternoon/evening... 'I really was not well'!
I felt bad, because Agi had taken me for a nice meal and then I come back and throw it up, but I think that no matter what I eaten I would have been ill anyway, because I had definately caught a bug of some sorts.
I read my bible and was reading Job Chapters 13 & 14. And 13 vs 5 says, that it is right to know when to be silent, but I think God was telling me here, that you need to know when to rest.
For me the day was full of challenges, frustration, pain, illness, anger but also due to things that went on through chatting to Agi, it was also mixed with revelations, tears of relief, joy, happiness, awe and wonder at how the Lord works in us.

What a lovely lunch....
I was still not feeling strong today so I stayed at home instead of going to the Gypsy camp. I was really really frustrated and angry for not being able to go. But in the end I am thankful I did not go, as I started to feel bit worse during the morning.
Agi and Ava both stayed at home as well, so I wasn't alone. Then the rest of the team came home and had lunch, but Agi and I did not stay as we went to collect Zsuzsi from the train station as she had been at home for National Day with her family.
On the way back we stopped at a nice restaurant for lunch. This was so I could eat some food which was not Pork. I have not eaten very well the past week due to this, but have lost some weight which is always a good thing!
It was a lovely meal. I had steak, chips and grilled vegetables. Agi ordered a side of grilled fruit, which despite my reservations about it was actually very delicious.
I was in heaven whilst eating this. I was so happy having lovely food with great company, and even though I was full from the main course, I decided to have desert as well.
The desert was pancakes with apple and cinnamon covered in a caramel sauce. It was gorgeous.

All Souls Performers
We then went on stage and sang our songs, then Pinoki, Jamiey and Nemiah performed the sin drama. Then Tim, Dave and Steve did a drama presentation based on 'Two ways to live'.
I was starting to lose energy again so I came home with Agi and Ava and went to bed. The Lord was definately working in me today. Although my Wet Foot experience isn't as full as I want it with the team, my individual Wet Foot experience is about growing in God. He is using my weaknesses to make me listen to Him and become stronger and grow in Him.

There was a blessing of the bread ceremony, this was the first loaf of bread that was made from the first wheat of the harvest. I did not really understand everything that was going on as it was all in Hungarian, but it was a very interesting experience.
Evening Celebrations
At 4pm we left the church to go to the evening celebrations which were happening in the grounds of our base.
Even though I was struggling I decided to go. I am glad I went as it was a good experience of the Hungaria culture.
There were women in traditonal dresses, and cooking traditional food. Most of the food was pork but there was a venison dish which I ate and it was gorgeous.
Nick, Ying Hwei, Nemiah, Steve, Jamiey and Pinoki all went on a food tasting mission, they ate every dish and rated it, it was all part of a competition. I think they had fun testing all the food.

More practising
In the evening there was to be a whole town celebration, and we were to sing and do a drama here as well. So we went down to the church basement to practice our songs for this. Again we were singing 'God is so Good' and we also learnt a new one called 'Day of Jubilee'
Again, I was moved to tears. The Day of Jubilee's lyrics were so moving, they are:
"This is the day of Jubilee, the day of jubilee for those in Jesus Christ, the day I am free, this is the day of Jubilee"
I am free in God. How I know this but still need to hear it again and again. Hopefully not it will sink in,

After this I lost energy and had to go and have a rest in Misi and Anna's house.
Lunch time
After we sang, the church youth group got up to sing. During this time a little boy came and sat with us, and sat on Ruth's knee and then my knee.
Lunch time arrived, and it was Ghoulash, I was looking forward to trying this national Hungarian dish, but unfortunately this time I couldn't as it was made with Pork. However, I did not go hungry as Anna made me some chicken noodle soup. She is so considerate and loving.
