Our meetings today went really well. It was All-American day. We left out this morning to take the train into the city and met with Rebecca Pfortmiller who is an American who was hired 7 months ago to as worship leader at St. Marks, a very Irish church in Dublin.
Then later we met with Jim and Laura Pettit, a couple from Chattanooga who are over exploring the possibility of becoming missionaries in Ireland. They are considering a couple of different organizations to hok up with. He is a musician and she an artist, looking to work in the arts should it work out for them to come. Through them there are possible connections for our work as well.
Both meetings were encouraging and we look forward to possibility of working with either or both. In fact, we may be helping Rebecca with St. Marks' sound system while we're here.
Then we had a new experience -- the Dublin bus. Fortunately we were able to take one bus from the City Centre to within two short blocks of where we're staying in Swords. We sat in the front (well, second row) on the top level of the double-decker. Rather thrilling at times -- especially when the bus appeared to swallow a bike rider, then a small car!
The only bummer today is that I have a cold coming on strong. Been consuming the vitamins and trying to stay hydrated.
Okay, one other bummer. We're trying to open a bank account here and expected to have it accomplished today after beginning the process in April, but we never heard back from the bank and we may not be able to get it done tomorrow as we probably won't have a chance to get into the City Centre.
Maybe Monday.

Hey there, just wondering if the Rebecca Pfortmiller attended CFNI in Dallas, TX? She had a couple songs on a worship album about 10 years ago.
Not sure, but that's probably her. I'll try and find out.
Thanks for stopping by! Drop us an email sometime.
