Arrived in Cork

Ok so we've been in Cork for one day now and we feel like already so much has happened. Officially even though we're not there apparently the sign has gone up on our house, so it's all in God's hands now. Please keep praying we can sell. Alex has been out working with my dad and will tomorrow as well which has been great as it brings in a bit of cash which is well needed at this stage. Today I met with Ciara from Grace and we chatted through a few things for meetings coming up this week so we're quite eager to get going there. I also got to hang out with my mum for a couple of hours of nice quality time (which is long overdue at this stage). I also got to visit the new SU bookshop (Christian bookstore) which has opened here in Cork and where they also have a coffee shop next door to it. I got to meet the people in charge of both and introduce myself and let them know what they're doing there. They are quite keen on meeting and chatting further about what's happening in Cork. Overall for one day there was great networking going on. And to confirm the move I found out today that 2 more churches want to meet with us as our names are coming up in conversation. God is opening so many doors and is allowing us to walk right in and meet so many. I can't help feeling this is the calm before the storm before the battle really begins. But thank God for this really encouraging time and a time where he is showing us so much and allowing us still to enjoy everything without getting too busy. Just wanted to let you know a little of what's happening.

The outlook for the next few days is as follows ~
Thursday ~ Alex working, Linda networking, Dinner with youth leader in Grace

Friday ~ Meeting with two youth leaders from Baptist church to talk about monthly leaders meetings

Saturday ~ Meeting with all the youth leaders from Grace to plan out from now till Christmas

Sunday ~ Church at Grace and small group with teens

We're hoping to meet with all the youth leaders from Grace indiviually as well over the next week so looking forward to that.
