Home for the Holidays and Missing Ireland

So it’s been a week since arriving back in America and I’m enjoying home but missing Ireland so much. Not just the place, it was largely the people: our team, the staff and the youth.
Christmas came fast once home, but didn’t feel like the time until really that day when opening gifts and relaxing. A different Christmas, spent at home, eating lasagna, watching movies and playing xbox. Not cold enough for a fireplace, which we don’t even have. Who needs one in Florida? After I relaxed at home, lazy was the game. Spent time with Taylor and Dave the past couple days catching up on films, looking at stores, wishing I could buy it all or even just spend money, and wasted lots of gas.

It was nice giving my testimony at church on Sunday, which they may never let me do again. 5 min was 15 min to me. But really was great to share my experience, and that I’d like to go back in the summer for 3 months and somehow need to raise $4,000. Lots of prayer, somehow wasn’t that successful at raising it the last time, just had a generous mother, and some few people.
