Nathaniel and Dawson. Having fun together. Nate is very patient with Dawson.
Shawna Mansfield and Dawson. One of his new best friends. She is really great with him.
We had a great time today (Monday...a random bank holiday so we couldn't get our phone turned on yet). We went to a thrift shop (which is not at all like ours in the states...but are really very nice with true antiques for a bargain) today and bought some great furniture. And really it was practically given to us....a real blessing from God. We got two super nice wardrobes (because they don't have closets here), an antique phone table, and some other odds and ends all for $100! I will put pics up online soon. Everyone here worked so hard to get that furniture loaded up and moved in! We'll have to cook some Jambalaya for them as soon as we get settled.
The house is really coming together. We really like the furniture that the Macs had for us. It goes perfect with the house.
Tomorrow, we hope to get our phone turned on, and stay the night in our new house.
Church went really well on Sunday. We had 18 people there. Yeah! It's not 800 but close. LOL. We have been in smaller services. It is customary here to have coffee or tea with biscuits (cookies) after church and visit awhile. The Irish talk so fast. I have a hard time following everything that they say. But one of the ladies kept saying how "bright" Elayna is. I guess that she means that she is smart and not referring to her skin color. LOL. I don't know how she can tell that she is smart by just looking at her. But of-course she is really smart.
Shawna Mansfield is an AIMer here for the summer. She is AWESOME! I feel like her and I have been friends forever. I'm already missing her knowing that she is leaving when summer is up.
Ashley & Caleb McFarland are really sweet. They too have made us feel at home.
The McFarland's nephew, Nathaniel, is here too for the summer. He really helps with the handyman work. It was nice to have him here today to help us move.
The McFarlands are coming at the end of June! Wahoo. We can't wait.

Awsome stuff. You sound pumped, I'm glad everything went well from the start. God has his hand on you guys, everything you touch will be blessed. We will be going to get passports soon and working on plans to come out. Love you guys.
So glad to hear that everything is going well. We miss ya'll so much already! I look forward to seeing your comments each day. It was weird to have church without ya'll yesterday. Katie is missing Kristen so much. She can't wait to come in November. We are making plans.
I am so excited for ya'll. Keep me posted....I will watch for updates. We are thinking and praying for you. Love ya'll!!
We're thrilled to know that you've arrived in Ireland and you're settling in. I know the Lord's hand is upon you in a mighty way! Be blessed in all you do...
We Love You.
