We wanted to allow plenty of time to hang out with Nick & Jess and crew while on the island. On Thursday night we intruded upon Isaac's 18th Birthday party. Nick & Jess 'put on the dog' with a fine feast!
We were able to take a suitcase just for them, filled with some food items and art supplies that are hard to come by in Ireland. They were not unhappy about that! Thanks again to our small group and friends for helping with this!
They fed us so much we had to go walk it off behind their house. Terrible scenery!
The second morning in Ireland I accidentally sprayed cologne in my eyes ruining my contacts. Had to wear the spectacles for several days until I could tolerate new contacts. However, this did not keep my from seeing the beauty in their "backyard."
On Friday morning we were able to take part in a prayer meeting for the new church plant in Oughterard. Until now all the efforts had been centered on the church at Moycullen. We saw God move in a big way right after praying! After the prayer meeting Nick & Jess began showing us around Oughterard, Galway, and the surrounding Connemara area.
First stop - the Community Center in Oughterard. The location of the first worship service on Saturday evening, June 1.

A couple pics inside the meeting area. While the others were visiting, I walked around the room and touched and prayed over all the chairs that people would occupy.
Coffee with the Swain girls right after the Community Center.
