Friday car wash and party

car wash

The last event of our chruch's missions week was the car wash on Friday. Old and young, they all worked together, brushing and wiping and spraying and rinsing.... We got a heavy rain just when the car wash started, so for a while we didnt have a lot of cars pulling in. But then, when the rain stopped and people started getting out of work, we got more traffic. 

Benjamin really enjoyed the rain and the puddles. As always. 

it was hilarious to see Benjamin helping out at the rinse phase with his squirt gun

And here I come with the van.... it was truly humbling sitting in my car seeing a bunch of people working around me. Working FOR me. It was a true service from their part and it really took humility to "accept" it. 

 Scott was helping out at the RINSE phase

young marrieds sunday school class party at the neitzke's
Wow.... the Neitzke's know how to throw a party! :)
Marsha's decorations and table settings were spectacular. She even made rosemary-lime-water! Fabulous!

Everyone brought a dish.... oh my...we had so much good food!!! Joel made a great job grilling the burgers and the chicken. When everyone gathered, Joel took a few minutes to give us a brief encouragement from the Word. 

We took some group pictures. First the "American style" picture.... Everyone smile please!! 

Then we took the "Hungarian style" picture.... No smiling please. 

 Some of you guys failed badly at "not smiling" (Jen! you are Totally smiling!! Becky and Erin.. you guys have a naturally "American face", your eyes are smiling even when you are not smiling :). And you. Scott. You really should know better!! :)

The rest of you guys did a fabulous job not smiling..... Especially Liz Krol! She totally has the Attitude!! :)

To my greatest dismay the "Korean style" picture turned out blurry. :(  But I though I would still stick it here..... I think it's really funny! :)

9 couples, hours of talking, laughing, eating, hanging out, roasting marshmallows at the camp fire, playing.....

Thanks guys! it was a great fun!

 Oh. I felt like I really should put a picture of THE SWEATER up here that we talked and laughed about so much! So here it is. My lovely sweater. That I do not own. Yet. :)
