We finished out our time with L'Arche last night with a BBQ. We played baseball. We roasted s'mores. It was a good time. There was some sadness in leaving people who had quickly become friends, but so much joy in how easily this community of people let us into their lives.

And though we said goodbye last night, this morning we got the chance to say hello to new friends. We were privileged this morning to worship with a kind and welcoming group of believers and were loved well by Ian, Pat, and Laura who spent their afternoon with us. They were our tour guides, they bought us lunch, and they allowed us to enter into their world as they engaged with us in ours. We also had the opportunity to meet Jenny and get an idea of what her ministry at the Friendship House looks like. While we won't get to spend as much time with her in that ministry as we would have liked, we are excited about the chance to spend time there tomorrow. Finally we attended a service tonight (yes we did church twice in one day) that is connected to the Emergent conversation and got to interact some with Peter Rollins who we hope to sit down with more tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow is also the day that we leave Northern Ireland and catch a train to the Republic. We will be out well before midnight when our pass to the UK expires. We have decided to head to Dublin and are praying for the Lord to show us what He has for us there. We are not sure what our internet access will be in days to come, but we will try to write when we can. Keep praying!
