July 12th

Today we worshipped in a building that was thousands of miles away from the home we love, but also worshipped with a body that cross all boundaries of distance and time.
Our morning began with a wonderful breakfast prepared by our hostess at The Hill (B&B). AFterwards we hurried off to church at the Bantry Christian Fellowship. The building is three stories high with a meeeting room on the third story as well as a creche (nursury), sunday school rooms, kitchen, and playground. There we met David Ross and prepared to work with the church. Everything went well. Larry preached, Marian gave a word, Gisela read scripture, Jay ran the computer, Josh played the piano, Mim played her fiddle, and Pam ran the whole Team. It was nice to once again worship and praise in a building that was so different, and with people that have never met us before, yet feel so welcome. Be Warned, we may come back changed people.
After church we went to the Ross's house for dinner. On the way we stopped at the B&B and Gislea realized that she had misplaced the keys to her room. They are still missing and prayer would be appreciated. We got to the house ten minutes before the church called us. When we first treid to conect the program crashed, but then it started up just fine. We could hear and see the congregation at home for most of it, but there was apparently some difficulties on the other end. However, it was a blessing to get to here from everyone back home. It was nice to socialize and get to know the family in the short time we had. David took some of us on a tour of the area. He's working on a walking trail that connects with a larger hiking trail that stretches around the area. He also showed us some of his prize stock that's heading to market. Dinner was delicous.
Following dinner we headed back down to the church to help set up for camp tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be able to sleep well and late tomorrow.
Thanks for everything,
Josh
