we have arrived....

family and friends... it has been a really long few days with many layovers, delays and unexpected stops for all of us. there was quite a bit of rain in new jersey which delayed all of our flights into our connecting flight to belfast. and then angie, justin, bethann, lucy, jess and julia were the last 6 people on the airplane last night. there have been quite a few close calls that made us think that we would not make it into ireland. once we arrived into ireland at 10am this morning, we ended up getting detained for 8 hours in the belfast airport at customs with much fear that we would not get into the country due to visa issues.

......but we have arrived at our host home, with very welcoming people.

our team is exhausted. a lot of uncertainty arose today as we were questioned by security guards and a long day of waiting. please pray for clairty for our team and deep meaningful rest.

we are glad to be here, realizing that there is a lot of opposition to us being here.

off to eat pizza and then go to bed!!!
