Last night we where invited by a young couple to their home for dinner. This past Sunday was their first at the Westport church and they were excited to have us over. all 16 of us!!! Jenna is the sweetest most outgoing woman and her husband steven is a FABULOUS baker we found out, they also have a son named Lewis and a daughter named Imogen. they moved here from england so they could live in the country and have a farm. they had pigs and cows and chickens and we ate their produce!! Their home was humble and they definately were not rich monetarily. but they were so genuinely excited to have us over and to feed us and send the leftovers home with us. Steven had been baking all day and we had incredible beer bread, chocolate cake, mincemeat pie, apple toffee cake and all sorts of yummy stuff. we were all sooo impressed by the food. and on the way home we got to talking about how we wish we could be more like them. not worrying about the state of our home or how meager our offerings are, but instead welcoming people in with genuine excitement and the desire to bless. Even in my sickly state i was able to gleen from those incredible people. I truly hope God blesses them greatly.
today we did some more street ministry and prayer and tonight off to home church. tonight a majority of the kids will give their testimonies and are nervious. i'm excited to see them step out of their comfort zones a bit more.
then tomorrow extrememly early we head to Dublin to see the sights before the craziness of St. Patricks day erupts. This is a major holiday and rightfully so, 4 day weekend nationally! We are hoping to find jordan a neat coat. we spend a few hours today looking for one, but he's a big guy even here!
