A Good Report

It's amazing how busy we've been. About six weeks have gone by and it seems like we just got here!

We're starting to adjust to the Irish way of life, and though we haven't exactly picked up the accent, we are starting to use some of their vernacular. An example of this would be where they call a baby's pacifier a "dummy". No longer do we search the house and car for "nu nus"...no, we search for "dummies". And there are lots of dummies to be found depending on which sense of the word you want to use!

As crazy as it sounds, driving on the other side of the car and road is now done without a second thought, and when I try to imagine driving in America my head starts spinning and I get real dizzy. Okay, so it isn't that bad but you get the idea.

This week we will be busy making final preparations for the McFarland's arrival next Monday. They are missed much by the church people and by us.

There was a great presence of God in the service today. We had a good crowd and the worship was excellent. Farrah brought a good report from Sunday school. (One little guy named Jacob walked into church this morning, went straight up to Farrah and asked, "Are we having Sunday School today")? So that made Farrah happy knowing that Jacob was looking forward to it.

Kristen said my sermon was good, but she fell asleep so that's not good! I'm guessing that I'm not on the short list for camp meeting next year.

All said, we still feel "dead on" to be here in Ireland contributing to the Kingdom.

And that's another Irish expression.
