We have left St. Michael's Children Home and are now in Mukachevo. We all experienced some tearful moments as we said our goodbyes to the children, parents, our cook and translators. The most difficult goodbyes were with the children. Nicky had a hard time saying goodbye to his friend Joseph.
This morning seven of the children celebrated their First Communion. It was a beautifl Mass and the chidlren were wonderful. Following Mass the children and their guests had a party with pastries and cake.
Then there was lunch, appetizer, soup, main course and of course dessert! Immediately following lunch our luggage and all of us were loaded into vans to come to the city.
We were warmly welcomed by Peter and Susanna, lots of hugs and kisses all around. It wasn't long before we were invited to a Hungarian festival at the school. Many of us walked over to the school, some were given a ride. We met some friends as well as the students who will be traveling with Lana on the return trip to the U.S. We are hoping we can make arrangements for them to come to Arizona for a visit while they are in the U.S.
As usual we had an amazing dinner. Peter and Susanna are the best hosts ever. The food was great and the conversation was loads of fun as we spoke mish mash.
Time to go for now. It's getting late, more tomorrow after our first day of teaching. Good night!
