We made it!

Hello Everyone- just wanted to let you know that Jason and I made it safe and sound to Kilkeel....we didn't get a whole lot of sleep on our flight, and then the bus ride was so scenic, and eventful to be sure, as the roads are incredible narrow---I think you could reach your hand out and touch the buildings sometimes... that we didn't want to sleep as we were passing through some very quaint Irsish towns...this country is absolutely gorgeous! The sea and the mountains....viewable from our bedroom at our host home, are amazing, and we have so enjoyed getting to know the youth and pastors here are Mourne, and are getting ready this afternoon (Friday) for a youth retreat this weekend and Kitty's Road this week...Jason and I finally feel ready and organized with all of the lessons and teaching time...the youth here at the church are very helpful and have really helped us to understand how we can minister effectively to the children in Kitt'y s Road....we have so many talented people on our team, it is amazing to see how God will use each of us in different ways:) Thank you all again for your prayers...I just called Denise this morning and Jonas is doing well...very intrigued by the husky puppy in the yard behind their house...he was laughing and waving as I talked to him on the phone too, so it is good to know that he is happy and contended for a Mommy who misses her baby:) Pray for us this weekend as we probably won't get much sleep, and we are so behind already! I will try to write again soon. Blessings!
