Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone. Today was our first day really serving in New Castle. We started our day celebrating Easter at the Methodist Church before heading to the streets to invite people to a time of worship at the Community Center. It was so awesome getting to see the kids step out of their comfort zone and invite them to a time of worship. I'm looking forward to seeing how God continues to use the team as we begin our work with the children's ministry tomorrow. Please pray for the kids that we will be serving tomorrow and through out the rest of the week.

Hey everyone!! This is extremely awkward because i have no idea how to start this...well...uh here's a few highlights
- first was going to a new Methodist church. Compared to my modern church, this was rather interesting. I had No idea hymn books still existed and there were 21 old people total. However, Hanna and I got to sit with the sweetest woman which was an encouraging start of the day
- second was walking the street handing out flyers. I got to meet lots of Irish people, get asked to say things like "Gatorade" and got to try out riding a unicycle. How fun!
- third was going to a "fuse" meeting which is like a youth group for everyone. Hanna and I got to meet a group of teens that were so fun and hear a great message on the resurrection. Also, we got to meet a few of the teens we'll be working with.
- fourth was climbing a hill to look at the beautiful sunset behind the snow covered mountains and beach and the city lights with Lauren and Hanna talking about how amazing our God is for giving us the gift of a glimpse of heaven. I just love Him and talking about Him with my best friends. Isn't he good?
- lastly was a funny memory. After the mountain gazing, when it was dark, we had to walk down the mountain. Hanna and I were attempting to inch down the mountain when Dan bolted right down safely. We figured that must be the best option so Hanna pushed me down....running full speed I was suddenly air born and parallel to the ground. Cute right? Luckily, Dan looked back just in time. I crashed right into him and we tumbled to the ground. I will have a permanent head ache and he will have splinter problems....all I remember is uttering "am I still alive?" Haha.
Love this trip, love this team....God blesS!!!

Hello family and friends this is Myles were all having a grand time here in Northern Ireland the scenery is just amazing, this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Today , you wouldn't believe it, we went to church in the oldest church in Newcastle, it looked like it would have gargoyles and stuff. They also had a very interesting way if doing communion ; we had to go up to the alter get on our knees and eat the bread and drink the juice.

Some other things we did were hiking, having STARBUCKS (in ireland), and having BACON FLAVORED potato chips!!!!! That's unbelievable like we really need that at home, they are just amazing. Either way it is getting late and I'm going to have to cry myself to sleep tonight because there is no walking dead tonight here in the uk but never the less have a nice day everyone and God bless.
