It's my second day in Dublin and we've already got a good grip on things. I arrived yesterday at 8 a.m. Christy and Alex picked me up at the airport and we headed to our beloved home, Number 5. I was very tempted to sleep due to jet lag but I managed to pull through and stay awake the whole day, that put me at being awake 24+ hours; hopefully I am on schedule now. We live in the Northside, which has the thickest accent in Dublin. Sometimes it can be a little hard to understand. At 3 p.m. we went to Hardwick community center to volunteer. This center has a range of kids who live in the surrounding area. We will be volunteering at this center 3 - 5 days a week, it's in the heart of Northside Dublin. "Maaa daaa is a hundraa" (My dad is one hundred). A little girl was joking with Christy and I and kept repeating that and it was taking me a very long time to adjust to her accent, I think I've got it now. At the beginning of July we will be doing an art camp with the kids for three weeks. So today we have been doing a lot of planning and scheming for that!
We even got started planning the arts festival which begins the 15th and ends on the 18th.
Tonight we are going to the Lighthouse (a local homeless shelter) from 6:30 - 9:00. We probably will be participating with this organization as much as our schedules allow
Prayer for this summer:
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
pictures to come!
