I'm happy to say that i've made it back safely from Ireland. it was so great! a wonderful time to get away & an awesome way to celebrate my bday! i was so blessed to meet up w/ some friends and travel w/ them!
i updated all my pics on picasa, so you can check 'em out on the link to the right.
i was speechless at some points of our tour of Ireland, especially when visiting Galway. it was what i've dreamed of. we got to see green rolling hills and all that jazz. it was very surreal, like it usually is when you're doing something you've always wanted to do. all i know, is that it did wet my appetite for traveling and i can't wait to go back!!
we had a wonderful christmas here in norway. celebrating w/ friends. on the 24th we went to Betel church for a service & then were so warmly welcomed to the Mentzoni's(the pastor of Betel)house. we had a great time fellowshiping and swallowshiping!! haha it was so nice to be in a home for the holidays and to feel so blessed and loved. then yesterday, on the 25th it was brett, cort, & I along w/ munson and michael (our friend from germany). we talked and ate and talked and ate. it was a nice day of gluttony. haha i do have to say that the gift brett got, of the 2nd seasons of House and Lost, made me joyful. it was nice to be w/ people, yet i did miss my family and friends back at home. i was excited to talk w/ some & that also filled me w/ joy and excitement!!
so...it's pretty slow here right now. it feels good to sleep in. to be rested. to get some things done that i hadn't had time to do before. but i know that right around the corner is the business of january approaching. we have a lot of things that are going to be beginning & continuing. i'm super excited for them, but i pray that my life will remain focused and not go whirling out of control. we'll be going to Budapest for a conference at the end of Jan. and i can't wait! should be a great time to get together w/ other missionaries doing the same thing we are. a time of encouragement, vision and prayer, & in Hungry! hehe
thank you Lord for providing such awesome experiences for me! it's seriously so amazing. i feel like my dreams to travel are beginning and will only continue as i'm here. wow! it really is great.
anywhoha, should go. can't wait for new years w/ friends, Trond & Heidi! should be another time of eating and talking. haha who doesn't like those two things??
i'm pumped too for the onething conference in KC! though i can't be there, i'm gonna try to listen/watch it online. should be amazing, it always is!
God Jul!
