All Irish Girls... (Plus two americans!)

We did so many great things in Northern Ireland. We worked with Mourne Presbyterian Church and Kikeel Presbyterian Church. We spent a week with Kitty's Road, a local Roman Catholic Community. We ate delicious food! We did so many amazing things that I can't even count.

One of the things that I will never forget is all the 'lovely' girls that we met. I will never forget how kind and welcoming they were on the first day. Within two days we were having pillow fights and laughing like crazy. Now I have friendships that I wouldn't be able to forget even if I wanted to.

Emma: An amazing girl who is gorgeous on the inside and the outside. She really cares about each and every person of Kitty's Road and on the American team. It was an absolute joy to meet and get to know her after hearing so much about her.

Emma, I love you so much!

Hannah: An extremely hyper girl that never fails to be happy. She is so encouraging to everyone with her constant positive attitude. I'm so glad that I was able to be her friend and love her so much!

Hannah, I will never forget you!

Nicola: A particularly fun girl who always made me laugh. She encouraged me so much in the way that she opened up to me and the way that she cared for every single person. I loved getting to walk along the beach and talk about our lives.

Nicola, I miss you so much!

Heather: An awesome girl who could do pretty much everything. Throughout the weeks she played all the games, worked with the wee ones, worked with the older ones, figured out harmonies with us. On top of all that, she is a wonderful sister in Christ, and someone I look up to a lot.

Heather, I miss you a ridiculous amount!

Jules: A very dramatic girl whose funny personality touched all of the americans. The way that she was so welcoming and open right from the start. The way that she poured her heart into the wee ones.

Jules, I cant tell you how much I love you!

Sami: An absolutely amazing girl who has pretty much become my sister over the past few months. We laugh, we cry, we fight, and we learn guitar.

Sami, I can't believe I haven't seen you in like two weeks!

(What's up with that?)

So, the point of this blog is to tell you girls how much I love and miss you, and how much I value your friendship. I will definitely, and I'm sure Sami will too, be counting the months till we can come back to you all in Northern Ireland.

But Until then, know that you are in my thoughts, in my prayers, and in my inbox on facebook. I love you girls so much, and am blessed to have you as sisters in Christ.
