Okay...still no pictures.

Well, we don't have wireless yet. So a short 4 mile walk to and from the library is required. We got a few bikes the other day, so maybe a bike ride will help speed up the process of getting to New Castle (where the library is).

Today starts the beginning of our third week in Ireland. I think we are finally getting into the swing of things. We also will be going into Belfast every Thursday for class. So hopefully I will be able to upload pictures.

I love my classes so far. I think that I have a couple of really Godly men that will be teaching some of my classes. We are reading C.S. Lewis and Richard Foster for two of my classes. So its great to be able to read things for school and see God working and moving in my life through them.

I think God has really been teaching and showing me things this week. I also feel that this time in Ireland will really be one of growth.

We went last week to the Northern Irish Parliament. I've learned a lot. Last night Jill, Carrie, and I were sitting around talking Irish Politics. For fun. Weird. But I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. And I'm excited to be able to really meet people and build relationships.

Hadden, a dear old Irish man, teaches two of our classes. He and his wife Betty have been taking very good care of us and make all of us laugh so much. Funny little Irish, or British couple... We went to Hadden's church last night and there are many young people. I think many of us on the team would like to attend every Sunday night to build relationships with people.

Anyways...that's a wee bit of an update : ) Hope you are all doing well. Miss and love you!

oh... and p.s.
