Ok, so I am finally here!! Because I know all of you are wondering, I had no trouble getting here. I did it ALL on my own and no… I did not end up in another country. I made it all on scheduled time. I had little idea of what to expect when I finally arrived here early in the morning on wed. Norma picked me up and we went and talked over my first Irish fry of the trip! She explained to me all the classes and studies and activities she was going to have me help her with. I knew then that God had so many plans for me on this trip.
So the last two days have been slow days where I have rested and just chilled out with Catherine Mc, My wonderful roomie, Hayley Millar, Norma, the interns…. It has been realy nice but I am getting excited about next week when the action really starts.
Last night we had a prayer meeting with some people from the church. It was truly a blssing to sit and watch these people so vulnerably express themselves, their fears, their concerns, EVRYTHING to God. About twenty minutes into prayer time, they began vigorously praying for eachother! I was humbled to see them lifting eachother up in prayer the way they all did. I saw an extreme sense of unity within the church…
Tonight we have a “Welcome Hannah” party for the youth up at the church and I am really excited about seeing everyone.. and about getting rid of that POSTER that I had to carry like a baby around the world. ehemm.
Now to the really fun stuff. So as I walking though the Newark Airport, I busted so bad. My back pack flew off, that wretched poster went skidding across the freshly waxed tile floor, my glasses poked my eye out, and I made a complete fool of myself. It was awesome. Wish you all could have seen it, you would have been proud. THEN today. I am walking through the estate trying to find the McCrudden household…which I never did… and when I took my focus off the uneven concrete side walk to wave to some old people I didnt even know… yet again… I totally bit it. Yeah, in front of the window. It was really embarrassing. There was definite blood spewage. I kind of felt like I was William Wallace walking through the estate… all bloody and dirty. BUT its ok… and I found my way back.
Thats all for now…
