Happy Days!!

Well we have our first visitors to our new house. Paddy and Stan (our leaders we trained in City Gates) are coming down from Dublin. We are really excited about having people staying in our new home. We had Andy and Naomi in the house in the city but this is the first time we have people staying in "our house" . We have to say that this week has been really hard as we feel quite lonely this week. It's certainly not from lack of family and people around us but we were watching the parade on TV and got a bit teary eyed seeing our old home.

On a brighter note though we had our college group last Sunday night, so we had 2 nts last week with them. We are so encouraged by this group. We had 12 people in our house and we looked at the whole book of Job in one evening. Everyone was really encouraged as they said they had never looked at a whole book in one session before, but we all came encouraged and left encouraged. God is cool the way he brings us all on one the path at different seasons.

We've really been spending time growing the relationships with the youth leaders we're training at Grace church. It's been really cool just spending a lot of one and one time with people and really getting to see their hearts and how God has a plan for each one of them. It really is such a privilege to be part of people's lives and see how God is stretching them and growing them. We do miss our bunch in Dublin though. But we know God is starting something big down here as well.
