Four Eventful Days...

Wow time is really flying by! I can't believe that another weekend has passed by so quickly! Had a crazy busy weekend packed full of exciting moments! 

Thursday I hung out at home for the day, relaxing and cleaning (I didn't want Sue coming home to a messy house!). That night I went to the church - day two of the Life-Giver's Conference! Cecil brought a powerful word and I was so proud of all the teens that came and paid attention to the message!

Friday I worked in the office until half five (5:30). Then, Vinny and I took a team out to Street Reach! Another exciting night! No rain praise God! I spent most of my night with one group of teens. Was a little worried that I might get checked for alcohol when the police showed up. . . but they passed my group by. (Uhh not that I had anything on me! But still it would've been funny had they of asked) Afterwards I went out for coffee with Rachel and had a lovely wee chat. Miss spending time with her and it was good to catch up on life :)

Saturday morning I went out on Adopt-a-Block! What a great morning that was!! We had about 10 volunteers so we split into two groups. Vinny stayed at Glenville with a group and I took a team to a new section called Abbeyglen. The response we got blew me away! Tons of families - a lot of children. Everyone was pleasantly surprised at our offer of free service. Some people had questions about the Dream Centre and others took fliers and seemed interested in building relationships. Really excited to see how this new site develops!

After AAB, Rose, Daniel, and Abigail, and I, headed out on an adventure to Victoria Square. I've been there several times but promised both Abigail and Daniel I'd take them cause they've never been. (Victoria Square is a large shopping mall in Belfast) I also told them I'd take them out for their bday so after taking pictures at the lookout point in Victoria Square, we all headed over to Nando's for a late lunch.

Haha Daniel had never had chicken wings before so that was the only thing he wanted, regardless of where we went to eat! Rose, Abigail, and I, all got chicken in pita while Daniel ordered his hot wings. We were all enjoying ourselves nicely when Daniel decided to pour Nando's extra extra hot sauce on his last wing.

 I love catching moments like this on camera! . . .

Needless to say we had to wait 45 minutes afterwards until his stomach settled. Haha but it was well worth it. Daniel Wright is now a legend :)

Spent the rest of our time there shopping (well us girls helped Daniel shop) for clothes, before heading home. . .

Later that night I went out to a hockey game with Sue and Allison to see the Belfast Giants. Brought back memories of the time my youth group went and saw the Houston Aeros play. That and the time my sister Melody, my best friend, Rebecca, and I, watched the movie Miracle back to back to back!!!

Finished the evening getting fish and chips with the ladies. . . all in all Saturday was the best!

Today was Sunday - church in the morning, lunch at Alan and Rachel's, and church in the evening. A wonderful way to finish off my weekend. God is really teaching me so much through Dr. Stewart and all the people I do life with out here in N. Ireland.

Tomorrow I have off so I plan on doing nothing all day but sleep, eat, and relax. Maybe a waste of a Monday. . . I guess we'll see what the weather's like :)

Love to everyone!!
