It is now Tuesday Morning, and I have had a great time so far. On Sunday I arrived and went through customs very easily. I thank God for that, because usually they are harder on people who are staying for longer periods of time. I rode the bus from Dublin to Waterford, and the scenery was so beautiful. I saw so many cows and horses along the way. We went through a couple of towns where the houses were so colorful and the streets very narrow. still having trouble with people driving on the other side. It scares me a lot. ha ha I arrived in Waterford and met the Thatchers, they really are a great family. I enjoy them very much. Mr. and Mrs Thatcher have 5 children and I will see if I get their names right: Kevin 17, Karrisa 14, Kaley 11, Kari 9, Kaleb 5. If I find that I am wrong about the ages I will post the difference. We went to the Harvest festival on Sunday where I ate a huge German brat. I saw so many people and even saw the ruins of an old church. (very awesome) Jet lag hasn't been too terrible. I just find myself falling asleep if I sit for too long. On Monday I was able to experience porridge for breakfast. Later on in the day we went to Wexford, and I was able to see a lot of scenery. I was able to go on a ferry near the sea, which was so beautiful. In Wexford, we took Kevin for classical guitar lessons. After we traveled back, we had a great evening of talking and preparing for the week's agenda. This morning I was able to have crumpets with peanut butter on them (very good). And now I am getting ready to do school work. I am loving this experience so much. I can't wait for the opportunities God has in store for me. It is definitely going to be an amazing semester. (sorry for grammatical errors)

Hey, you don't know me but I'm a freshman now at northland and its great to be here. I have an older sister, Karrie that you might know. She is a senior and works in the kitchen. Anyway, I really like this kind of program of studying abroad and I see that you are super excited. I know God will work through the ministry there and I'm sure it will be great to see it first hand and to be apart of it. I will keep all those studying abroad in prayer and maybe one of these semesters i will be able to go on one myself. Well there is kind of another thing that I feel weird to ask you since i don't even know you. Its actually a favor that you definitely don't to feel obligated to do at all. I'm just a little curios and somewhat desperate. My girlfriends sister just recently came back from a honeymoon to Ireland and forgot to get my girlfriend a claddagh necklace from there. Its something she wanted pretty badly and her birthday is coming up. I have tried a couple of other people i actually know in the area to get one from Ireland but it hasn't worked out. I may just have to order one on line but i think it would mean more if it was directly from Ireland. Anyway, its just a crazy wild idea that i was thinking about. I know you are busy and doing things that are way more important. So please don't take this the wrong way or anything. :) Well, I will be praying for you and your ministry there. God Bless!
