A Few Observations

We have more pics to share, but for some reason we are experiencing technical difficulty in uploading additional photos. So in the meantime, here are a few random thoughts.

  • We have been busy this last week working at the church (hence the lack of blogs). We've painted, uprooted the garden, cleaned out an old caravan (mobile home), scrubbed carpet...the list goes on. It is truly a gratifying to connect to the work of God in this way.
  • Everyone agrees that the biggest adjustment so far has been the food. The only way to really describe it is to say that it is just different than what we are used to. South Louisiana folks think that food isn't food unless it creates a slight burning sensation while being enjoyed. The Irish are not so keen on the spices.
  • Sunday we woke up to a warm 46 degree morning! The high of the day was 55 degrees! The greatest part about it is that the locals are talking about what a fantastic summer they are having...whaaat?!!
  • I don't know what we would have done without our new friends Jonny and Naomi. They are our neighbors and have really taken care of us and answered a litany of questions. Thanks Jonny and Naomi!
  • Please check back often for pictures from the work days and from our excursion today to Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle.

Don't you love the weather though - I'll take 55 over 99 any day :)

Okay - I am so very jealous now - I'm sitting in a hospital room all day every day and you are climbing all over the rocks at Giant's Causeway!

Didn't you love it!?! It is my absolute favorite place to be in Northern Ireland. Wait til you see Carrick-a-rede - that's beautiful too!

I'm sure you (Farrah) took lots and lots of pix.

FYI: I'm looking for plane tickets!!!!! Keep praying please.
