About Me
I’m an American born with Hungarian blood living in a Zapotec Village in Mexico . I speak three languages (English, Hungarian and Spanish) and studied a fourth (German), since we previously lived and worked among Old Colony Germans in Chihuahua. For those who know me, that’ll explain my confused state of mind half the time!
I have four kids, one husband, a lot of interests and a few gray hairs. (or is that a few interests and a lot of gray hairs?)
I’ve had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ for 27 years and will be celebrating 22 years of blissful marriage (okay, mostly blissful) . Hey, we have a really good fight now and then, just like most of you. Making up is…uh…fun.
I’ve been a pastors wife since I walked down the aisle and said “I do” and a missionary since I said “Huh? You really mean us, God?”. We have moved 16 times in our married life and I can honestly say heaven will be my true home. I’m also a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God.
I love to read and love to write. In my spare time I like to…. oh wait, I don’t really have any spare time.
My childhood nickname is the culprit for the naming of this site. It is Inky’s spot, my spot, to muse, reflect, share. But please don’t call me Inky; I like normal names like Ilona.

Beautiful site. I love the water lily on your title page.
Glad to have you stop by, Jan. I enjoyed your site as well; good writing!
I love your blog. I also love the fact that you are a Pastors wife and that you love to read and write. I am looking for someone just like you.

Thank you so much for your prayers.
Allen is better but is very tired. He has been sleeping most of the day. We continue to pray for his healing.
@ Debbie – amen
Querida Ilona, i was looking for your personal email to send you an apology! You nade a precious comment on my blabla-la blog and I wrote you back what may have seemed as a “slap” in the face, for that I am sorry. Since you cannot see love in the written word or the tone in which soething is said…I need to apologize.
In kindness, you told me how the Mexican people find a reason to celebrate life. My response saying that I didn’t like that they have”fiestas” for everything, though honest, might have been taken wrong!
Since, you are a sweet person, returning into the mission field of Mexico, I truly felt that I must ask your forgiveness in what probably seemed like an insensitive, cold hearted remark. I spoke the truth but didn’t soften the words, not even with an((LOL)).
I love the Mexican people! I love your service to them!
And I pray that you will understand my comment!
Thank you, Peggy
It’s times like this that you wish you could read your remarks and delete or correct! Vaya con Dios…y muchas gracias para todo servicio a Criso. Bendiciones y mucho amor despues del perdon!

Hi, I found you on the A/G blog ring…thanks for putting your heart and soul on the line and sharing it with the world. I appreciate your insights as a mom and missionary…I’m in the same spot (Chi Alpha in VA) with you…well sort of! Anywa, I just wanted to tell you that I was encouraged by your writings today….so sorry to hear about your house being robbed. We’ll pray for your protection today and the ease of replacement of all your family’s necessities…. You’re a blessing!
