Hello All!

I have just returned from a great week-long conference.  This is the Dream 2008 conference I have been telling everyone that we have been working so hard to get ready for.  Everything was great.  The speakers and services were phenomenal.  We had close to 300 kids in the children's programs alone.  Overall, it was a wonderful week and many people were blessed.

On a more personal note, my grandpa is extremely ill.  He was diagnosed with lung cancer right before I left for Ireland.  Although it looked for a while like he was getting better and making progress, this last week he has taken a fatal dive for the worst.  I am planning on going home for a few weeks to be with my family.  I'll leave Ireland on Tuesday.

I would so much appreciate your prayers for 1) My grandfather 2) My family, especially my grandma and my mom 3) for traveling mercies as I will be going back and forth over the next month 4) That the work here in Ireland does not fall too far behind while I'm away.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  Love you all.
Bethany

Hello All!

Sorry it's been a while since my last blog.  I've been so swamped with getting ready for this island-wide conference at the end of March  called Dream 2008.  It's going to be a great conference with all the church people of Ireland getting a change to come together and listen to great speakers and have a time to relax.  

I got my first magazine back last week.  It is called "Link" because its purpose is to connect all the churches of Ireland to be united (North and South). So I have officially finished my first publication for the National Assemblies of God Ireland.  It was very exciting.  We did a big mail shot and sent out tons of magazines to each of the churches.  It was great to see something that I worked so hard on in print and all finished.

I hear the weather is much better at home than it is here!  It has been storming, cold and dark all week.  Enjoy the sunshine!

Love you all and miss you very much!
