We are moving!!

As many of you know Kevin and my heart is for missions. Over the past several years we have been praying about where we fit in all of it. Through much, much prayer we know God is moving us to Ireland. We are planing this move to take place June 2011. We will be moving to Cork, Ireland. We want to thank all of you who have prayed us through to this point and we ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers as we take this bold of a step. We also ask that you pray for guidance and provision. We also ask that you pray for our families as they too are adjusting to our big move.

We are back

Wow! We had so much fun doing the Lord's work in Ireland!! Here is a quick view of what we did while we were in there. The first few days in Ireland we toured some areas of Ireland, a castle, UCC campus, and the cliffs. We also got to meet some of the youth who are part of the Dungarvan Christian Fellowship youth group. Kevin had a great opportunity to give out free tea and coffee late that Friday night, 1am, in Dungarven. I know this sounds crazy for Americans, however it truly gets your name out there and the people love you for giving out free tea in coffee. It's also a great way to start up small talk, build a relationship and introduce them to Christ. Monday, the 20th, we started handing out free tea and coffee to the students on UCC. Praise God, for providing the wonderful cappuccino machine.... if they didn't want tea they want hot chocolate or a latte!! YUM!! We also played fun, silly games such as, "Do you want a kiss" and "Who's the man". "Who's the man", arm wrestling, was the BIG hit!! We did this through out the week. By the end of the week we had over 70 people sign up for email and around 20 people who are very serious about wanting to see "Living Stones", a Christian Society, get started on the campus.

Highlights for Malachi...
~Malachi spent his 2nd Birthday in Ireland. Mrs. Barrett made Malachi a chocolate train for his birthday... it was amazing!!
~Malachi also made friends with UCC girls.... who made sure to see him on his birthday.
~Malachi enjoyed getting to see kitty's everyday.... he also liked the fact the kitty's played what he thought was hide and go seeks, but they truly were running away from him.
~Malachi also enjoyed playing with Mr. Jason and Mrs. Tania.
~Oh and the BIG one... Malachi loved seeing the "Moo's" and the "Baa's" outside the car window as we drove throughout Ireland!
