I have arrived!!

Wow, this is very unreal, to be sitting in my wee flat, writing from Dublin. A movie nite happening rite below me.

The mission is very much inner city. Wee kids as young as 5 running around with mohawks and peircings, in their favourite rugby or soccer teams track suits, shouting obscenities. Its located in a very rough, yet somehow still so beautiful, part of town, and definetly does have a reputation that all are welcome.. and all come.. all hours of the day and nite, pounding on the door to come in then running about shouting in the gym rite below my room. There is so much life happening all around me, never a dull moment,.. already!

Travelling went absolutely amazing.. Couldnt have been better! Bags arrived, no trouble flying, and everything worked out so beautifully. You could definetly pray I get approved for a visa, shouldnt be a problem, but have to get it in the month and have a very busy schedule. Pray I continue to stay in good health, and have loads of energy to keep up with these kids, 24/7.

Its beautiful. Its needy beyond imagination.. I was out with a lady from the office today, who is here from South Africa, she was showin me around, and I am just so amazed that I am here. Little old Irish men tanning leather, and cutting fish.. its just amazing!

So, it has begun. The adventure of a lifetime, once again. Pray for God to do His thing, I am just here watchin Him work, and lovin people. I leave Saturday for a week of camp, pray for energy and health and quick relationships..

Its funny just thinking about it already though, but the Irishs sense of humour is soo sarcastic and blunt.. The kids will insult ya, and then run away sayin, ah, jes jokin ya mister.. They are real, in your face and hilarious. I think the word feck and shite and normal vocabulary for anyone over the age of 3, and I hear them every other word. Oh good times.

So, I've already taken loads of pictures and will post them when I can.. Got to rest!
Cheers for now.
