October Spice

We had a great day in Belfast on Monday celebrating David's humahum (you have to guess) birthday.

We ate at an American Chili's. It was pretty much the same as home. They even had ice tea (so I heard...they never did bring mine out...I couldn't be bothered with reminding them. I think they were nervous about serving Americans in the advertised American style restaurant).

We later walked around a great indoor/outdoor mall. It was really nice.

And on the way out of town, David found a really nice used book store. Anyone that has ever talked to David for 5 minutes knows that this would make for the end of a great day!

The rest of the week was spent getting Tara and Riley a car, working at the church, and ministering to Lynne and family. Lynne's dad passed away this week. Please keep Lynne in your prayers. She was a daddy's girl and is having a hard time.

David and I are really enjoying teaching the Jr. High/High School aged kids Sunday School. I have been trying to cook some for the Mac's since they have no kitchen right now. And I have also been serving as a Taxi driver when needed.

Kristen has been helping out with the toddler aged kids (Whew! I'm so glad to be out of there.) She is also our sound booth girl. Her main job is to keep the words to the songs going on the projector. She and Gillaine do a good job at this!

David has also been playing the bass at church. A lost art of his that he has been happy to rediscover. And he is learning to do lots of handy man things around the church and the McFarland's house.

We are scheduled to go over to Scotland in November for some minister meetings. We will also celebrate Thanksgiving there with the Kellys.

Then, we are headed home for Christmas. David is going to narrate the Christmas program in Denham as he did last year. We will be home for 3 weeks!

And then we are headed back to Ireland until the end of February at which time we have to go back to America. We are planning to return to Ireland as soon as God provides!

Lots of Love from Ireland!
