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!

Hello!

Hope every back home is happy and healthy.  

Yesterday I went to a church in Mullingar, a town more toward the center of Ireland.  It was a great congregation.  They have recently grown from ten people to 100!  They are made up by a large number of Nigerian and Romanian members.  It was a wonderful experience.

Love you all!

Hello friends and family!

I hear that you have freezing rain and ice back in good ole Oklahoma.  Bummer!  We had a great day here in Ireland.  It hasn't rained in over a week and today I didn't even have to wear a jacket!  However, this is not normal weather.  I guess it is supposed to get back to its normal frigid weather soon.  

Anyway, just want to say that I hope everyone is staying warm and that I'm thinking of you all.

Love and miss you!

DREAM 2008

Hello again!

We are having a national conference with all the churches in March called DREAM 2008.  It is going to be a wonderful conference and I've been so busy getting ready for it.  Right now I'm making the program, which is twelve pages long!  I'm also going to be making invitations to different events throughout the week, badges, information card...basically anything to do with publications - I'm doing it!  It's going so well though because I love staying busy like this.  

I hope everyone is doing great in Oklahoma (and the surrounding states, cousin).  

Love you and have a wonderful Valentines Day!!

Hi friends and family!

Today has been a great/challenging day.  I met with our printer again today.  I was with him for over four hours!!  I was fading fast!  

We are leaving this weekend to go on an office retreat.  I'm very excited to spend some extra time with the girls in the office (Sarah, Mags and Claire).  In the office I work in, they also have a Youth Alive internship program, which Sarah and Claire are a part of.  I work alongside Mags here doing National AG projects.  It's great to work with a variety of personality, ages and gifts.

I miss you all and love you tons!!

Hello All,

Feeling much better today!  It is a beautiful day here in Ireland.  The sun is shining and the waves are crashing against the shore next to my office.  Right now I'm babysitting a little girl named Molly.  She is a little over one and I am so excited to get to watch her.  I babysat two wonderful girls back home and have been missing them so much.  So, when Molly's mom asked me to watch her, I was delighted!  

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!  Love you all!

Hi friends and family!

I'm sooo sick today...yuck!  I'm a bit whinny and not really feeling like doing much.  However, I have tons of work to do for an upcoming conference, so I'm still at work.  I'm going to the chemist (pharmacy) during my lunch break.  I just thought I would complain a little!  Love you all!
