Team members safely arrived in Ireland within the last few days with no interruptions or delays from Iceland's volcano, praise the Lord. Most of the members have recovered or are currently recovering from "jet lag." This years team is a lot smaller than previous years so the orientation and schedule is a little different as well.
Upon arriving at Shanganagh Bible Church, we noticed that many improvements had been made to their building. They've finally established themselves in the building. We've had the opportunity of meeting many of the church members and missionaries that we will be working with.

One of our first jobs as a team was to put labels on several thousand 4 You magazines; these magazines are really good opportunities for people to hear about Christ. On our first night here, the church served us a delicious meal. After dinner we had prayer meeting; it was good to go to the Lord in prayer with brothers and sisters in Christ from across the ocean.
Today started off with a nice breakfast, and lots of Irish history from Frank Carolan. After Frank spoke to us we were told helpful tips on sharing our testimonies with the people of Ireland. We also had a really good discussion about saving faith. After a full day of orientation and training, we are going to have dinner at Frank and Grace Carolan's tonight. We're looking forward to getting to know them better. The team seems to have started off with good harmony--having craic (Irish for great fun) slagging each other (making fun of/teasing) and laughing together. But we're still missing two members who will join us next week.
