Week 1

It has been a little while since I last posted.  So much has been going on here in the ministry.  I have gotten to do many things including going to Tramore for the second time, seeing Dollar Bay, and also seeing Hook's Head.  All of these places were so beautiful.  On Friday, the church's first missions conference started.  We had a great turn out and the people were very willing to give.  Anchor Baptist Church usually only has one service a week and we had 4 services: Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday morning, and Sunday night.  One can tell that hearts were stirred for missions, and I can't wait to see what happens in the church.  On Saturday we went out for a couple of hours sticking invitations for church in people's mailboxes. (It is legal here to do that)  And later on in the day I was able to spend some time with the Hollidays and O'Keefes, which were the visitors for the missions conference.  On Sunday after church, we had a fellowship dinner that included Hungarian, Indian, Lithuanian, and Irish food.  And after church on Sunday night we had a dessert fellowship, which was extremely delicious with rhubarb crumble, cherry cake, chocolate chip brownies (Kevin and I made them), and many more desserts.  On Monday we took a break and went to Tramore to walk along some cliffs and have ice cream.  (there is great suffering being done on my part here, haha)  This country is a very, very beautiful place, but the people are very lost here.  Every day in the news headlines there are teens being caught with drugs worth thousands of dollars.  The teens believe in themselves only, and only care about themselves.  Please pray that the ministry here can affect many teens in the upcoming years.  Please pray for this upcoming week, because the missions conference went well and I imagine satan will be at work.
