24 Hours Till Departure

It is crazy how fast the past several weeks have sped by with our friends and families in the DFW area. We have been humbled and encouraged by the goodness of God with every person we were able to meet with. God is doing such an incredible work through y'all and in us as we prepare to leave the USA. Also, as of today we are officially 84% funded, which includes the online giving through Modern day! The final obstacle in our way is packing everything we need into three suitcases, two duffle bags, two backpacks, and one guitar case. Thank God for Ziploc vacuum seal storage bags...

But we are finally here! We are now in the 24 hours before we will leave everything and everyone that we know, and seek out the next adventure that God has put before us in Ireland. Though it has not fully "hit" Molly or me that we are finally about to leave, we are so excited to finally be flying across the pond.....and also a little afraid.

Something you may not know about me: I actually grew up flying in planes. My dad used to have his pilot's license and I can remember flying to various places in a small, four-person plane, almost always with a bag of pretzels in my hand. I have always loved flying and Molly will attest that I even get a little giddy when we are in airports. Like skipping around with a silly grin giddy. Its cute for a child, but slightly less so with a 23 year old man. In spite of all this, Molly and I have been having weird dreams about crashing in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, or being stranded on an island like in LOST.

All that to say, please be praying for safe travels on Wednesday and Thursday. If all goes as planned, we will leave DFW at 6:30pm, arrive in London at 9am (London time), leave London at 12:30pm, arrive in Dublin at 2:30pm, and then take a bus to Enniscorthy arriving around 5:30pm. This should be fun!

Ireland here we come! Stay tuned for more updates from Enniscorthy!
