I want to say Im sorry for not posting a blog last month while in Romania. Im not going into detail about why I didn’t and I will not go into detail about what all happened. I would love to tell you a few things that made Romania awesome for me. Romania is beautiful!! I have pictures uploaded to my shutterfly website that you can check out. I loved seeing the beauty that God created. It takes my breath away. Romania is filled with beautiful hills. I tried to climb the hill behind our contacts house every morning and every time God met me up there. I had the most amazing time with God on this hill. Our team fell in love with it. This was a place we could all go to spend time alone and admire the beauty He created. There is something special about pouring your heart out to your daddy when your surrounded by His beautiful creation. When I came down from the hill I would visit some of the older ladies in the village. These women are so precious. I fell in love with them! I just wanted to spend time with them and let them know how special they are and they are not forgotten. They loved me back and stole my heart. One lady gave me a beautiful flower out of her garden. I was so touched because we just met and she gave me the biggest one and it was so pretty. Another lady I was close to led me to her garden everyday to pick apples and berries and she invited me in her home. The last day I was in Romania I went to tell her bye and that I loved her and she held me tight and cried as I walked away. This broke my heart. I wish I could take her with me. She was so sweet and precious. She has my heart.

We have been in Ireland for 6 days now and loving every moment of it!! Dublin is awesome! The city is amazing and we love our ministry here. On Tues, Thurs & Sat we work with a homeless ministry called Lighthouse and we are also working with Dublin Christian Mission. They work with kids from broken families. Next week we will be leaving Dublin and traveling to a camp that DCM is having for the kids they work with and their parents. We will be using our tents for the first time! Please keep these two ministries in your prayers. We are excited and we just want to let everyone that God puts in our path know how much He loves them and how special they are to Him.

God has been blessing us so much since we got here. Our first day here we got tickets to a Manchester United vs. Airtricity soccer game. The first game ever in Dublins new stadium. This was amazing!! This past Sunday we went to a church right across the road from our hostel and it was amazing!!! I didn’t want it to end. It was great going to church in English and we didn’t have to do anything, just get fed! We needed it. It was so refreshing! God is so good to us!
