The Interns Have Arrived!

 IMG_0104 

Today (Saturday, May 31, 2008) we picked up the MTW Interns at the Dublin Airport.  Their flight had left Atlanta about 6:00 PM the evening before; and after a layover at London/Gatwick they arrived in Dublin about 12:30 PM.  While they were still suffering from 'jet lag,' we took them to Harvey's B&B, dragged them around the center of Dublin for a couple of hours before dinner at Abbey.  At dinner most of the interns met members of their 'adoptive' families from Abbey Church.  Afterward, they returned to the B&B and (I imagine) crashed until morning. 

At the end of the day, Kathy and I each commented that this team of interns seems well-prepared, respectful and cooperative.  This is the fourth team of interns to come to Abbey Church for the summer program of ministry.  And it is the largest so far.  Please pray that our ministry will bear fruit for the sake of Christ's kingdom.

Here are some photos from the day:  Upper photo:  Stephanie White (foreground), Paige Larson (left) and Luke Whipple (right).
