glorious day in inreland.. day number 3 or something like that
Wow. I am having such an incredible time!!! I love my Jesus. Ireland has to go down as one of the most beuatiful places I have ever visited on this earth. And I am loving spending time with leah and stephanie. I love how God gives you those friends that you don’t always get to see.. but when you do see them they are such heart sisters you pick up right where you left off. Steph and I havce really only met a total of 3 times in america.. but she feels like one of those incredible people that I have known forever!
So we went to irish church yesterday and it was the craziest thing.. I knew I recognized the speaker for thew eek when I came in.. but I thought surely not. I did. Him and His wife are irish but were missionaries in nepal for 4 years.. I had met them several times. Small world huh? They had a nepalee girl my age with them and it was soo exciting because we got to talk to her in nepalee and she was thrilled because we talked to her in her language.
so yesterday we went through the irish mountain to this gloriously beautiful place called Glendalaugh (i know that’s spelled wrong and probablly the wrong name.. we laugh because they said I woudl not be the next editor on the travel channel because I am always just like.. well we went to this beautiful historic place (insert the name i make up) and well we also had starbucks!!!)
Everything here is soo old and historic. This was the ruins of an old monostary from the eleven hundreds.. crazy huh. Good thing I didn’t break anything.
Having a blast.. thanks for praying
i don’t think really have to tell you exactly how jealous i am. since you’re in the #1 place i want to travel to. my family is from there. i hope that you have a marvelous time. I LOVE YOU!!!
I am glad you’re having such a wonderful time! Enjoy everything.

Jenn,
it is great to see you having a great time! You look so beauitul and content. Mom started back to work today. Hey a lady from my church is working with CHN in Malta next week. Cool huh? I’ll get you her name! Miss you and love you!
I have been thinking about you, and you mentioning loving the fall in TN and seeing all the changing colors. When we went camping I was soaking up all of the bright and wonderful colors that the Lord put on display, and I couldn’t help but pray that the Lord would give you a fall to remember b/c you were not here where the leaves are changing. I have to confess in my small mind, I was thinking maybe a beautful flower would be given to you, you would see the pretty pictures from home…but our God is so much better and bigger than that.. You are backpacking through Europe at the peak time for the colors to change! Enjoy your honeymoon!!

I have been bad about writing, but that’s what 4 kids and a full time job do to you. Glad you enjoyed Ireland. It is our favorite place in the world. Hope all is going well. Where can I learn more about Nepal and your ministry there? I am still contemplating what trip God has for me next year.
