Hello everyone. This will be the last full entry to our team blog before we return home. I will text message short entries to update everyone on our progress as we travel tomorrow. Just a reminder: we are scheduled to arrive in Birmingham at 8:34 PM on Continental Airlines flight 1414.
We have had a wonderful time here and the time has flown by. Once we have returned home, I will post a full account of our trip. It has been such a blessing getting to know the children and youth. There's no feeling like having one of the kids run up to you and give you a hug. The children's meetings have been going well and all of the kids have completely memorized Romans 5:8-9 as well as learned about the Wordless Book which uses colours to share the Good News of Jesus in an easy to understand way. We have our last children's session this evening. I know there will be some sad faces on both sides.
Yesterday, we bid farewell to Carl who flies home today. We definitely miss having him and Alasdair with us.
Our host families have been wonderful. We have experienced such love and grace from them as they have made sacrifices to accommodate us and provide for us. What a blessing to be a part of the world-wide body of Christ! We can never thank them enough for all they have done for us.
This afternoon after our last session, we will load the red bus and William will take us to our hotel at the airport to drop off our luggage. Then he will take us into Dublin so we can have a final meal there and see the city at night. Afterward, we will catch a bus back to our hotel at the airport and get some sleep before we arise early and catch our flight. It will be a long, reflective journey back home. We will miss everyone here and yet we look forward to being at home with our families. None of us will ever be the same again or see the world in the same way. We thank everyone who had a part in this trip and most of all we thank God. We have been greatly blessed! See you soon! - Love, The Team :)
