July 7-8

Urban Soul has begun and we are busy doing "indiscriminate acts of kindness" around the city of Dublin with other young people from all over Ireland.

There are sessions each morning and evening with worship and speakers, then the afternoons are spent split into teams to do service projects throughout the city.

Our team has been spread around with other groups and has really enjoyed getting to know some new people as well as working with all kinds of different projects. We've also enjoyed worship led by Paul Baloche.

We are getting tired as we've been on the move for our entire time here, but we are hoping to finish strong with our last full day tomorrow. We will be packing our bags tomorrow and preparing to leave Dublin first thing on Friday morning.

Please continue to pray for us - specifically, for health and strength for each team member; for good attitudes as we have come across some new "cultural" experiences that are very stretching; and for our hearts to continue to be open to what God still wants to teach us.
