to dublin we go

so i'm in cork, it's 3:53am, and we're headed to dublin this morning! it's been really nice so far to be in cork, and to be in ireland for the first time. it's quite different from england in a lot of ways, although you'd think it would be nearly the same. however, the people i've met in both places have been very kind.
today we're off to dublin for a few hours and then from there we'll go to the place where the all-ireland conference will happen this weekend. i'm helping with children's ministry, so aan-sofie and i will have 2 big suitcases full of supplies in tow, plus our own stuff. we're hoping to leave our belongings in a locker in dublin at the train station so we can use our few hours in town to look around a bit. otherwise we'll take turns camping out with the stuff. i'm hoping we'll find a locker so we don't feel strapped to the stuff. but, whatever works.
please pray for a blessed conference! pray that the parents will be blessed in their sessions, that we'll be blessed as we minister to the kids, that the kids will be blessed and at ease with us, that we'll all have sufficient strength and grace to rely on the Lord for each step of each day. i'm a bit tired already so especial prayers for my strength and that i'd abide in the Lord would be appreciated. thank you.
love to you all. God is good. His family is so vast, and i've been blessed every single place i've gone. i do believe the Lord is going to use this conference mightily to equip His people for the work of the ministry, and to encourage each one of us.
so i'll try to write again monday to let you know how He has done just that!
