So………where do I start, how bout just the flights trying to get to Ireland. So everything was running smooth from my flight out of Dallas to Baltimore, however it is here where the fun begins. So it about 2:15 I’m on the plane ready to take off from Baltimore to JFK. The flight already delayed thirty minutes but no big deal I knew I would still have plenty of time catch my flight at 7ish to JFK to Ireland. But 2:15 turned into 4:15 still sitting on the plane and have yet to moved………I guess it was about about 5ish when the plane finally took off to JFk . So I land in New York and got off the plane around 6 thinking to myself how in the world is this going to happen, knowing I still had to get my bag, recheck it, boarding pass, security, and get to the terminal to meet up with the other 12 leaders who have been there since three much like I intended to do myself! Throughout this whole ordeal I have been communicating with one of the leaders ,Caroline, and as soon as I got off the plane I called her and she told me what gate to get to…..of course it was literally on the other side of the airport. So im going as fast as I can hoping on trains and elevators all while tugging along my 40 pound back pack and 20 pound carryon bag! Finally I arrive at the gate and I hear Caroline’s voice yelling….. Austin….Austin…. she was in the middle of the check baggage line holding a place in line for me , so I hop in with her, and that is when some lady form the airport comes and asks me if I had already printed off my boarding pass at the kiosk ( which of course I hadn’t) and informs me that I will have to go to the back of the line and that it is against airport regulations to hold places in line for other…..so at our point of desperation knowing if we got sent to the back there was no way I would catch the flight…..we give the spill about our flight and all that good stuff and a little sweet talking to her…….lol……she lets move all the way to the front of the line allowing me to check my luggage with the next available person!( Praise God) Next was the security line, but my boy Dan was holding me a place in line there also, so we breezed through that…………hustled to the terminal with enough time for the restroom and to call my parents and tell them I made it! As I got to the terminal I was told…………… WELCOME THE LIFE OF A WORLD RACER!
So as far as ministry we are teamed up with a church here in Galway and are doing street ministry trying to increase their flock for Sunday morning and Saturday night youth Group! It was really been a good time! The people here are so unbelievably nice. I will go into more detail on another blog as far as all the ministry aspects!
The team (Team Triumph) is doing absolutely amazing…..it blows my mind how so many different people can come together and mesh like we have……..im am on a team of some hard core Jesus lovers who for lack of betters word are all Worship Junkies. We are all likeminded and are all shooting for the same goal, which is to be empowered and to just do the Work of Christ to the fullest! And btw the ladies on my team all love to cook….haha …… GOD IS GOOD…………
