I was asked to write a small article for the local paper in Fivemiletown.
Fivemiletown-You may have noticed some unfamiliar faces around the streets of Fivemiletown lately. Four area churches welcomed a Youth for Christ Summerserve team to work with area youth and teenagers. The team arrived at the Fivemiltown Methodist Church’s Wesley Hall on [...]
I am absolutely loving it here in Northern Ireland. It is gorgeous here! I am in Ballyclare now with my team and they are awesome. So far we have done two afternoon clubs in the Grange Estates (projects) and one evening youth club. We have a lot planned and it’s really exciting [...]
Something very humbling happened today. We went over to Maime’s [Me-Me] house to do our laundry. I was totally running on empty when it came to clothes, so today I had to get this done. Richie and I went over there about lunch time and couldn’t come back until after 11-14 club. So when we [...]

I was there about an hour or so since breakfast wasn’t until [...]
Tonight is our last night before we head to our seperate towns. We just finished a birthday dinner for Andrea who turned 17 today. Everyone is still in high spirits and homesickness has been between nothing and almost nothing. (YEah!)
