Happy Independence Day!

Happy Fourth of July from Ireland. Some here have commented that they wish they had an Independence day to celebrate.

Today began with a early breakfast as some were heading out to go hill walking. It was back up to Shannon Mountain for a POWER walk UPHILL!C After morning exercise it was back to the Convent school to continue with set-up for VBS. After a day of set-up we were treated to dinner with the Flemmings to celebrate July 4th. they had a BBQ for us. It was a great time of fellowship and fun.

We are all feeling the time change today, but still extremely excited about the work ahead for us in the coming week. 101 children are anxious about and excited to get the camp going and are already asking for sign up for next year!

Tomorrow we will be worshiping here at the Listowel Christian Fellowship followed by a fellowship lunch prepared by the parishoners. Apparently this is done weekly here. Very social people and friendly.

By the way, it is 10 pm here and the sun has not gone down yet. We usually fall asleep before we notice the sunset.

We are excited to be here and looking forward to what God has in store for us in the coming days, but we do miss our loved ones a little bit. Good night all, and we love you!

Blessings and love to you all from Gisela for the Green Team

P..S The A Team lost twelve pounds while in Africa. I am afraid we are about to find them. Tea and biscuits are very important!
