Hello friends!
This is Sara typing. It's Sunday afternoon here in Belfast. We went to the service this morning at the church and all agreed that it was both "brilliant" and "lovely." We have decided to incorporate these terms into our everyday language rather than the dull "cool," "awesome," or "freakin' sweet" that we use in America.
The church service was not that much different from a typical church service in America; however, we all picked up on how there was more of a broader, worldly perspective. We prayed for specific issues happening worldwide and even the praise songs had more of a community focus...ie. WE not I. :)
Next up we will be heading to Harriet and Andrew's house; Andrew preached this morning at church and now we're going to go hang out and eat Northern Irish food. Oh joy!
By the way, it's Mother's Day here! So happy Mother's Day! As I'm regrettably not too good at remembering important days, I at first thought "oh no! I didn't know it was Mother's Day!" Then I was informed that it's not Mother's Day in America. What a relief. :)
We have all recovered quickly from jet lag and we got our luggage back already this morning! Several people were extremely happy to have their hair dryers and straighteners. :)
Anyway, all is well. We are thinking about you all. Hope things are brilliant at home.
Cheers,
Sara & co.

Hidee ho, Belfast Team. So glad your luggage arrived. (I won't remind a certain member of your team that only minutes before your frenetic departure I told him to pack a change of clothes in his carry-on. A subtle reminder that he should listen to me more!) Having lost my own luggage on an international trip, I sorely empathized with you on Saturday. How lovely those comforts of home seem when they are restored to you.
Sara & Mitch, your posts are a delight to read. Keep them coming!
As a former Belfast SSP person, I envy not being with you. Tell Harriet I said hello, and eat a handful of week old chips for me when you get a chance. Cheers!
