I can't believe it's already been another week. Four more and we'll be sitting on our couch in Muncie eating Papa John's pizza and drinking a frozen Coke. We've had several good meetings this week. On Tuesday we drove over to Murlough House to visit the other girls from our church. While we were there we started talking to John Moxen, who runs the place, and ended up staying for a good chunk of the afternoon. He has a pretty unique perspective and it was actually really encouraging for us, apart from being good information for the trip.
The next day we had lunch with Hadden Wilson, who was a pastor in Ballynahinch for 15 years. He and his wife Betty are wonderful people, who were also very encouraging. Then we drove to Lisburn to turn in our beloved rental car. While we were there we walked around the downtown area a bit. It's a cool town.
This weekend was huge and crazy. We had 61 kids (12-16 years) from the summer back for a reunion weekend. They had a lot of fun (including kicking a soccer ball through one of the dorm windows) and we did too. I got to play bass in the worship times, which was a blast.
Ange's folks will be here tomorrow so we're going to go meet them in Shannon and have a few days of touring in the South. Then it's back to camp for another reunion weekend with the younger kids. On the whole, we're in good spirits. We'll miss this place, I think.
Mark and Ange and Tigger too!
N.Irish word of the day: raking about = clowning around. Usage: There'll be plenty of time for raking about this weekend, but pay attention for now.

I meant to say, "maybe we can get the lions to play there someday."
one can dream big.
I have to add my Happy Birthday to Ange (today just happens to be mine). I Thought you guys would be interested to know that the rapper the "Listener" (his name is Dan) slept in your appartment. It just so happens that he and his wife went to John Brown Univ. and they live in Siloam Springs. He recognized Mark's Dad and it turns out that his wife went to Ireland with Mark's Dad a few years ago. Small world huh! He said he slept well. (Thats who was playing in Paula's attic) Hopefully i can get in on some of that Papa John's.
Can't wait till then
-P
