Learning to Be: May 2010
http://kristyinhungary.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. An Open Letter to the Friends and Families of Returning Young Adults in Global Mission (from the Mexico Country Coordinator, a former YAGM herself). I asked them to write it raw. I asked them to be as honest as they could. Sure, I told them, you can send it if you want to. You can make it part of your final newsletter or blog post. But you can always go back and edit for that later. Write this one raw. But no one did, and so I didn’t. The funny thing is, when I asked my volunteers...

Learning to Be: Who Says Liberal Arts Majors Don't Do Numbers?
http://kristyinhungary.blogspot.com/2010/07/who-says-liberal-arts-majors-dont-do.html
Monday, July 19, 2010. Who Says Liberal Arts Majors Don't Do Numbers? Kilometers between Regina, Saskatchewan and Budapest, Hungary. The year the house I live in was built. Temperature, in degrees Celsius, in the sun earlier this week. Price, in forints, for half a loaf (half a kilo) of bread. Ars of homemade jam remaining from those I was given this year. Number of weeks I have to use up said jam. Days between my departure and arrival at Regina airport. July 22, 2010 at 6:49 AM. July 24, 2010 at 3:36 AM.

Learning to Be: My Letter
http://kristyinhungary.blogspot.com/2010/06/dear-friends-and-family-i-had-bit-of.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. Dear friends and family,. In my panic, yesterday I cleaned my room top to bottom—going through books I've borrowed, mementos I've picked up, and a massive stack of papers that have accumulated from one thing or another—with packing for my return trip in mind. I kept thinking "how am I ever going to fit this all into one 23-kg suitcase? This experience has eroded me, changed me, and I’m grateful for it. But how will the new person I’ve become fit back into my old li...Or a London F...

Learning to Be: Snail Shell Economics
http://kristyinhungary.blogspot.com/2010/07/snail-shell-economics.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. From my journal, April 14, 2010. 8220;I know that the experiences f our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work that he will give us to do.” – Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place. I opened with this quote because I’ve been inspired by it ever since I read it in The Hiding Place. I love the idea that God can use every moment of my life—my joys, my sorrows, my frustrations—for a purpose that perhaps only God knows. I later learned t...

Learning to Be: December 2009
http://kristyinhungary.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 12, 2009. There is no tanoda (the Bible/school teaching w. E do with the kids every Saturday). I went for a walk along the river and met a shepher. D and his flock. And so I could sleep in and was very much looking forward to turning into a bump on a log for the day. Of course, I can’t seem to sleep past 8:30 now. It’s been cooling off here. I mean, it’s still above zero, but you have to understand that homes in the villa. There is something awfully cozy about wood-heating. There is a ...

Learning to Be: Easter Monday, "Sprinkling" the Women
http://kristyinhungary.blogspot.com/2010/04/zold-erdoben-jartam-kek-ibolyat-lattam.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. Easter Monday, "Sprinkling" the Women. Locsolkodás after the Easter Monday church service. Everywhere I went today (and it was a busy day- with two church services and visits to four different homes), there were people partaking in the tradition. The most priceless was three little boys, aged 5-13, who recited a poem for me when I came to visit and then all took turns spritzing me with perfume. But it was a fun tradition, and I'm glad I got to share in it. View my complete profile.

Monday, September 28, 2009. The Adventure Begins in Earnest. During our 2-week language training course, our class visited the beautiful town of Tapolca on a day off. Orientation in Chicago and another in Hungary, along with two weeks of language training. With Emilie, my roommate from both our Chicago and Hungary orientations. Thursday, September 17, 2009. It’s always fun to hear about other people’s embarrassing moments. Well, I have one of my own to share from my time here so far…. The Swedish bishop ...
