Hello from F
Tonight, a team of fifteen people headed out onto the streets of Budapest with 48 blankets, 80 packs of tissues, two pairs of pants, and two thermoses full of hot tea. We were split into four teams, heading out from a central location along two subway lines. The mission: to keep the homeless of Budapest warm as we head into the cold winter ahead. Each team also had a native Hungarian to speak with the homeless so that they did not just become someone we handed something so we could feel better about ourselves.
This is my team's story:
Viola, Johannah, Kirsten and I headed to Blaja Luiza Ter to search for our first blanket recipient. I will not lie to you, I was a little nervous as I had never just walked up to a stranger that I didn't speak the same language as with the intention of giving them something with no strings attached. My heart was racing and I'm sure I was running on a slight bit of adrenaline as well as we approached the first man.
He was sitting on cardboard and smoking a cigarette. He was also wrapped in a large and dingy coat with several layers of clothing underneath. We walked up and Viola offered him a blanket in his language.
"Nem."
"Nem" means "no." I was a little confused as we were offering this man a free blanket which would surely come in handy during the coming months. He explained that he wasn't sure how long he would be there and he didn't want to carry it. So... we said "Jó estét" (good night) and headed on.
The next two guys we came to were both lying down on cardboard. We walked up to the one that was awake and just finishing some sort of dinner and once again, asked if he would be interested in a blanket. The reaction was much different. He looked up, a little confused, and then smiled.
"Igen." (yes)
We then offered him some hot tea as well since he had just finished dinner and it might have been nice to warm his throat. He politely declined, so we asked if he thought his neighbor would be interested in a blanket. He said "of course!" and then slowly stood up with a slight bit of difficulty. He walked the two steps to his friend, and lightly smacked him on the leg to wake him up. His friend stood up a little bit confused, but when we put the brand-new still-wrapped blanket in his hand, smiled a mostly toothless smile and said "Danke schoen!" (He heard us speaking another language and figured it was German) He also enjoyed a cup of tea, and waved goodbye as we parted ways.
The next group of people we got to were at a place called Moskva Ter. Moskva Ter is known to be a bit of a rougher part of town, but it was still early enough where we didn't have to worry. We walked over to the other side of the tram tracks to two men sitting on the ledge of a stairway. "Jó estét!" we both said as we exchanged greetings. Viola offered them a blanket which they gladly accepted. They also said they would love some tea (and tissues). As I was helping pour the tea, one man (named J we would find out) heard us speaking in English.
"I do not recognize your accent." he said. "Where are you from?"
I answered in plain English "We're from America. I'm from North Carolina and the girls are from Virginia."
It lead to an interesting conversation where he asked us "Why are you helping us?"
I wasn't quite sure what to say. It was such an honest question that I was not prepared for it. I told him "Because that is what we are supposed to do. We see you guys all the time, and no one ever takes the time to stop and help out. We want you to know that we see you and we think you are important so we wanted to bring you something that will keep you warm."
He nodded and told us (in somewhat good English), "Thank you for doing this. When we have to sleep outside, it gets very cold, and this blanket will keep us warm. The hot tea is also very good for our throats. Thank you so much. We both appreciate it very much. I am J."
That is when I said "I am Will." and we held out his hand. I shook it and then introduced myself to G and I (both of whom spoke no English) while shaking their hands too. It made me think about how these guys rarely get touched. They are so looked down upon in society and people see nothing but a dirty hand coming their way to get them sick or at least smudge their gloves. People avoid these folks all the time and rarely are they treated like human beings. I think that the handshake meant a lot to them.
We parted ways and headed to a place called Déli Pályaudvar, a train station. We came up the escalator off the metro and met another J. He was sitting on a bench with a half-full bottle of beer next to him. We walked up and he said to us "Who won the football match tonight?" We all shrugged and told him we didn't know. He kind of nodded and said "Oh... okay." Viola then asked him if he would like a blanket. He said "Yes, I'm very cold." We then offered to give him some tea which he gladly accepted as well.
While we were pouring the tea, he just opened his life story to us. J is 61 years old and has been living at Déli Pályaudvar for the past ten years, and he has three children that he has not seen in the last six years.
At 4:30 this last morning, the police picked him up and took him to the station. "They treat the dogs better than us" he said. At 7:00 pm he was released and he made his way back to Déli. "I want to lie down on the train tracks and die sometimes.
We told J that we were Christians and asked if we could pray for him. He said he would love that, and Viola translated for me. While I was praying, J started to cry. His shoulders were shaking with every sob as I prayed and asked God for strength for J for whatever he was going through. I asked God to make it so that J would see his children again. I told God that He was a strong God and that nothing in this world would ever be stronger, and that He would look on his son J with joy. When we said "Amen," I opened my eyes and saw him crying. It absolutely broke my heart. We told J that we would be coming back again with food in about a month, and he told us he would see us then. It was one of the most moving things I could imagine.
Lastly, after parting ways with the team and meeting up with my fiance, Joanna Foley, we headed to Florian Ter to hand out the blankets to the two people that got this whole idea going. I shook hands with F and met K tonight for the first time. These are two homeless folks that have mattresses hidden behind a row of chairs in a public bypass that I see every day on my way to work. The fact that they sleep out in the cold and very obviously live there is what made me want to hand out blankets in the first place. We approached F and asked him if he would like to have a blanket to stay warm at night. A look of confusion immediately changed into a look of delight as we handed him two brand-new blankets. We stayed to talk to him for a while, and he explained to us with a large toothless grin that he always went to the catholic church up the road and asked God for help because he didn't know where it would come from. He told us that he knew if he would keep going and asking that God would bring him peace, and that we gave him that with the blankets. We explained that there was nothing attached, we just wanted him to have the blankets, and that got him tearing up. He explained with a breaking voice how hard it was to not know where your next meal was coming from and how much he appreciated that strangers, let alone strangers from another country, want to help him with nothing in return.
That's when he woke up K. The pile of blankets on the other mattress moved and up came a girl that could not have been older than 22 or 23. Most of Budapest's homeless are in their late forties to sixties like J. K was abnormally young. F kept saying "She's such a beautiful girl. I look after her and take care of her." We were pretty convinced it was his daughter as they looked very similar.
Needless to say, we talked with F for a little while and then as we were turning to leave after promising we would come again, F told us to say hello to our mothers for him. Mom, if you're reading, hello from F.
Tonight was a great night.

Who is God?
Tonight at church / home fellowship / dinner group / awesome collection of people, we were posed the question "Who is God?" and asked to illustrate that in whatever avenue we would like.
The following is what was on my paper:
God... who is He?
God is the Father. He is a being that beams with pride over His children, however is not "afraid" of giving us exactly what we need. He is a gracious Patriarch, and a just Daddy. He invites us into our place as His loved child, and does not attach stipulations to His love. He gives all blessings, but waits until it is exactly what we need. He is perfect in every way, and was us desperately to share in the joy that is His Glory. He will never leave us or forsake us, and will protect His children at every cost.
God is the Son. He pursues us ferociously, doing anything for His bride. He courts our hearts relentlessly, sacrificing everything: including His life, just to be with us. He loves us passionately, always coming after us, calling us back to Him when we have been seduced or have chosen ourselves to betray the one Perfect Love. He is coming back for His wedding day to us: his bride.
God is the Spirit. He finds ways to speak to us without ever using His own voice. He echoes the words of the Father and the Son, yet seemingly contradictorily speaks through His voice: the voice of God. He comforts the brokenhearted. He mourns alongside the widow. He hugs the orphaned and tells them that they have a home. He calls all to turn away from empty pursuits and to gaze upon the Glory that is the Alpha and Omega. He is our promise that one day, we will be wed to the Son in the presence of the Father...
And all will be the way it should.

Exciting Opportunity! (Not Spam)
Hey guys,
I realized that when the subject title is "Exciting Opportunity," most people, including myself, send it straight to the trash bin.
Regardless, I wanted to let you guys know that I have been meeting with a home fellowship group for the past three weeks, and I'm really excited about everything going on here. It's great because there are both English speakers and Hungarians meeting up at a home every week. We eat dinner, play a game, and then spend some time talking about God and what He's doing here in Budapest.
We also want to be a missional community though. On November 16th, we are planning on going and buying a bunch of blankets (or taking some that will be donated) and helping out some of Budapest's homeless residents. The blankets themselves will cost about 1000 Ft (which is equivalent to maybe five or six dollars depending on the exchange rate), and that is where I would like to ask you to consider making a donation to cover a blanket or two.
There are a ton of homeless people here. I don't just see a few here and there. Right off the top of my head, I can think of two that I see everyday at Florian Ter, about four that hang out at Kolosi Ter, and another that lives up the street form Kolosi Ter. Those are the "regulars," let alone the drifters. Today's high was 46 F. It's October 20 and the nights already almost hit the freezing mark.
If you would consider making a donation of $5 or $6, less than the price of a value meal at Arby's, then please send a check to CEO and write "One Blanket" in the Note line to:
CEO
PO Box 6578
Charlottesville, VA 22906
If you do not use checks but would still like to get involved, Paypal is available too!
Click here for Paypal Donations!
The Paypal link is near the bottom of the page. You'll be able to choose an amount and then once it prompts you to log in, you can click on "Add Special Instructions." That's where you would write "Blanket One."
Thanks again everyone! I'm really excited that people are interested in helping out. The homeless of Budapest thank you! Also, thanks again for all of your prayers and support. I could not be over here doing this without each of your individual spiritual and financial help, and it is greatly appreciated.
Love y'all,Will
PS - Feel free to share this news with your Sunday School group. We want to keep Budapest's homeless warm!

I made a little girl cry today...
Today I feel that I got my first taste of what being a parent will look like.
When my kids are around the age of eight or nine, I'm sure that I will have to discipline them somehow. If I don't, then call the people at Guiness because I'm sure they have a record book I could get in to.
There's a little girl in one of my classes. For the sake of anonymity, we will get her "Susie." Susie loves to talk and loves to play, and apparently loves to do so during my daily English lessons.
Now keep in mind that they are split into two groups, so I guess I get her every other day.
Regardless, today was like every other, and no discipline that I had put into place before was really working. (First year teacher people... come on) So with about fifteen minutes left to go in my lesson, I got their attention and explained that the next person I had to tell to be quiet or sit down, they were going to get a message written in their "message book." (I'm still not sure who reads these messages, but it's a big deal)
And so it worked... for about three minutes. That is when Susie decided to start joking around with her neighbor, and stood up laughing to do so (They're only three feet tall). So I walked over and said "Susie... give me your message book."
The look of horror quite suddenly spread across her face.
She sat down pouting, rummaged through her things, and produced her message book. I took it and walked back up to the desk where my pen was. The whole class was silent. I wrote "Susie will not stop talking in class" and then walked back to her desk. Her head was down, and her neighbor looked up and said "Susie is cry." I shrugged as if to say "I wish I didn't have to do this" and put the message book back on Susie's desk.
I did feel sad about the whole situation, but the entire class is a little out of control. I had to do another quick writing with another little girl, but she didn't seem too torn up about the whole thing.
But how often do we do this with our spiritual Father? We are warned time and time again of the awful consequences we are going to face if we don't stop acting up, and when those consequences finally happen, we sit down pouting and bury our heads in our folded arms on the desk. I look at myself too when I say this and we have to wonder, when will man just stop sinning!?
Oh yeah, when Jesus comes back.
That doesn't mean we can eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. That means we need to do our very best. God gives us these warnings for our own good. He wants EVERYONE to be living in harmony and He tries to point us in the right direction, but time and time again we (even subconsciously) trade His good advice for our own stubborn desires.
To God be all Glory.

Food and Wine Festival!
First off, the food and wine festival we went to today was great. It was my first "festival" here in the Hungary and it's apparently a frequent thing. When we walked in there was a Hungarian puppet theater going on. Since we understood absolutely zero, other than a jester with a frying pan, we decided to move on and try some of the food and wine from the different vendors. I tell you what, Hungarians know how to cook some really good food. Not the healthiest food, but really good food nonetheless.
Regardless, I just wanted to let you guys know that the videos on these things have been a bit of poor quality (ie - uploaded from my iPhone). I do plan on sitting down and putting something together soon that actually has editing involved.
Thank you for your continued prayers. I'm heading into my first week of teaching. This seems to me where the rubber hits the road.
Love y'all,
Will

Me vs. My Flesh
So while I was working out today, I started to realize that I look at myself as a complete package a lot of the time. Before that sounds as arrogant as I might think it sounds, let me elaborate.
Often times, I see "Will" when I look in the mirror. That's great and all, and in reality if I saw someone else I'd be just a little distressed. This mindset really prevails throughout life. "It's me versus the world." "Look out for Number One." "Me, myself and I."
So I'm sitting here working out this evening (Power 90 Day... four), and I start thinking to myself "Man, I'm really tired. I sure would like to just take a break for a minute. My abs are killing me."
Then that's when I realize that I listen to my flesh WAY too much.
My flesh wanted to stop and not be so active. My flesh wanted to pop on the final episode of Hell's Kitchen (which let's be honest, I'm going to watch tonight). My flesh wanted to give it up and take the easy way out. The problem is that the easy way out doesn't get anything accomplished. I would just end up in the same position I was before I started working out. There would be NO FORWARD PROGRESS whatsoever... if I listened to only my flesh.
The same can be applied to the spiritual realm.
People in the church, whether they want to admit it or not, struggle with all KINDS of things (myself included). From alcoholism to drug abuse to being addicted to control to pornography to... the list goes on and on. All these weaknesses and addictions are the fleshes crowning glory. You watch porn, you enjoy it... for a time. (Hebrews 11 talks about serving the people instead of enjoying the pleasures of sin for a season) You go get drunk and it feels great... until the morning comes. Man hoooo-wee that affair is exciting... then you realize that your family is in shambles and your integrity will be in question possibly for the rest of your life.
Here's the deal... when working out, you have to tell your body "Listen to me body, we're going to get through this workout because this is what is good for me."
... when you're facing temptations: "Listen to me body, that is not good for us. You and I are in this together and we're going to honor God because that is what is good for me."
So yes, I am a complete package. Mind and flesh.
...But it's all about which one's in charge. May you honor God.

Getting settled in
Jó naput kivanók!
That was the first thing we learned in Hungarian Language School this week. I tell you what, trying to fit an entire language into two weeks is pretty difficult, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm slowly venturing out into the city around me and starting to explore now that I am in my official flat. I have a living room, a bathroom, a bedroom and a kitchen all connected to one hallway. Keep an eye on the blog and I'll get some pictures up here soon.
I will be writing my monthly email soon so if you are not on the list and would like to be (or if you're not sure you're on the list and would like to be) drop me a line at will.luper@gmail.com. I would love to get you signed up so I can keep you updated on what's going on.
The email will definitely be a little more detailed.
Love you guys,
Will

So although I tend to facebook update a lot, I'm going to try and do more of it on Twitter because honestly, it feels a little bit more international. (Don't ask why because I'm not sure) Plus if you ever wanted to have my random less than 140 character thoughts come beaming into your phone anywhere on the globe, it can be done.
That being said, follow me on Twitter! @wluper
Love y'all.

Landed in Hungary
Hey guys, it's a few days late, but I'm sittin on a couch in Hungary, so that means I have arrived. Jet lag is still having it's way with me, so right now I'm crazy tired, but I do plan on putting up a little video blog of our trip over.
Love all of you guys,
Will

Hey Everyone!
I know that back in the day, websites that were just getting started up had little pictures on them that said things like "Under Construction" or "Coming Soon."
Since I'm writing this in roughly two minutes, I want you to know that this website will be both A) Redesigned at some point, and B) the place where I post updates about how things are going in Hungary and my life.
Chances are if you're reading this, you have contributed to my being here, and I do want to thank you sincerely.
We'll see you soon!
