We started our adventure to Northern Ireland Wednesday afternoon with a delayed flight to Newark and an impromptu sprint for our transfer flight. But thankfully, we arrived in Seattle on schedule and had the opportunity to spend two days with the Townshend family. Though our first day was infamous, rainy Seattle weather, we got to spend a wonderful day as tourists of Seattle. We also got to meet some teens from Rob's youth group (some of which visit in the wee hours of the morning while we are still sleeping in the front room.) It was awesome to see the Townshends again. They are doing wonderfully and we are so thankful for them putting up with us for a few nights!
Saturday morning we arrived at YMI training and met our teammate Nick Getchell and our coordinator John Stiffler and his wife Rose. Training was an awesome experience; John and YMI did a great job getting us ready for this trip and we learned a ton in a short time about mission work! We experienced two host home dinners, an early morning Liverpool Manchester United soccer game, a scavenger hunt around Tacoma, and lessons on how to be missionaries.
Early Monday morning we boarded a plane to Chicago, had a 6 hour layover, and arrived in Dublin on Tuesday. The missionary we are interning for, Richie, picked us up and drove us to our new home in Dundrum, Northern Ireland. And now the adventure begins...
We would like to thank everyone who has supported us and is still supporting us for this trip! All the prayer, encouraging words, and donations have made this trip possible. We are so excited for everything God has in store for us here and we cannot wait to get started! Financial update, Jenna has raised all of her funds and Danielle only has $3,000 more to go! So if you would still like to donate, it is greatly appreciated!
