It seems as if I just arrived here in Belfast and now I only have 6 months left to do a whole list of things I'm not sure I will get to...
But when I look back at all I have done, I feel so blessed to have been given this time here.
Each day brings something new and exciting, and just when I think I have seen it all, something new surprises me.
The summer came and went and now we are settling back into our regular program.
There are currently two new volunteers here from Texas Emily and Reid, and a possibility of a fourth volunteer joining us at the end of October.
Tomorrow we are going on my second residential. This is where we take one of our family groups and head up to the north coast where we spend 3 full days with the families.
The after school kids get to go to the beach, castles, play parks, and Giant's cause way. The babies get to take cool walks (be pushed in prams) enjoy play parks and just get a chance to get out of Belfast. The mums enjoy shopping, coffee shops, horse back riding and the carrick-a-reed rope bridge.
Residential is just a nice time away and a great holiday and good times for all. When we return to Quakers, this group will now start coming once a week instead of two, because they will only have 4 months left with us. Which also means a new group of mums and babies will be starting up soon when we get back.
We have a week off over Halloween and I am hoping to either have my friend Kendra come and visit or do some exploring on my own through Scottland and maybe even London.
I am also looking into flights so I will be able to come home for Christmas.
More to come after residential :)
