Hi there, well were just back from an amazing weekend in Kilkenny. There we enjoyed God’s presence with 370 teens and leaders, and even did a bit of teaching on stage which was a first for us at an event like this. Everyone seemed to have a great time and the bungee run and surfboard simulator which we hired went down a storm. It was great to meet old and new friends and to see all the gang from City Gates again.
On Monday we said goodbye to the bus heading for Dublin and also one going to Cork which was a little strange. I had planned out my route home in my head, how to avoid any traffic on the n7 and then realised I was going to Cork. It will take a little while I guess for the reality to sink in.
On the house front things are looking up for us. We got our money for our house through and today we are signing contracts for our new home in Glanmire please God. All going well we have a closing date of march 3rd. We have had great help from a good friend Don O Sullivan who has helped us out with all things planning and council wise and this has been a blessing. It is weird to see all the money in our bank account and to realise that in 2 weeks it will almost all be gone again, but at least we will have a place to call our own again and be able to finally unpack our stuff. Everything has been boxed since last may.
More good news as my friend Rob who had a brain tumour removed is making a complete recovery, walking, talking and still has his quirky sense of humour which is great. He had a six operation to remove the tumour and his wife says he looks like an extra from the movie mad max, but he is doing great and will go home tomorrow.
Anyway that's all the news for now, pictures to follow in the next couple of days. Alex and Linda.
