It was a long day. If we had stayed on Dublin time we were up from 6 AM to 3:30 AM. But who's complaining? It was an uneventful day of traveling. We didn't have to connect through Paris (always a nightmare). We had the best flight crew we've ever had on a transatlantic flight. Not so bad.
Of course we decided not to set an alarm for this morning and we were both awake by 7 AM. Oh well...
The past three weeks comprised our best trip to Ireland so far. We were so busy and forgot to work in any days off ahead of time so we ended up working or traveling or both every day except one. Live and learn.
So now we have only two months before our next trip. It's lining up to be a very significant trip as we have a lot of individuals and churches interested in us working with them in April.
We will also be spending Easter (the 8th) with my brother Dennis and sister Dianne and those members of their families that can come with them to Ireland. It's Dennis' birthday, and it will be Dianne's family's first time to Ireland. We're looking forward to this little family reunion, as the last time the three of us were together was more than 7 years ago.
In addition to all that we will be doing in Ireland, we will also be flying to the Czech Republic and back. We've been invited to attend a conference of Europe Worship Link, a fellowship of key leaders involved in worship ministry representing countries across Europe. Should be very interesting as it will be primarily attended by European citizens.
The next two months will mean a lot of work, not only in preparing for our trip and keeping the bills paid and food on the table, but we really need to do what we can to increase our monthly support level. If we are going to continue working like this we really must be able to draw a larger salary from GEM -- and in order to do that we have to have a greater number of monthly financial partners. So we have our work cut out for us.

All-in-all, the past three weeks were wonderful (although we really missed Molly and our friends) and we are very excited to find out what our next trip holds.
