WE ARE GOING TO IRELAND BABYYY

It has been a long journey to get to this moment. I have waited 6 months to go to Ireland and it doesn't feel real that I have FINALLY BOOKED MY FLIGHT to leave at the end of the month and arrive in Ireland on March 1st -- a month from today. Whoop whoop!! Through the waiting, there have been lots of tears, a huge test of patience, and a lot of unexpected adventures to fill the time. Would I do it again?...ehhhh...not at all, but I am honestly glad that it has happened this way.

So this is what's happening -- I will not be waiting for my visa to get approved, therefore, I am allowed in Ireland for only 90 days. So I will arrive on March 1st and will fly back to America on May 29th. The other ladies on my team also decided to choose the 90 days rather than wait for their visas. They will also fly to Ireland on the 1st and we will finally be together after having online meetings for the past months. As for the men on the team, they have decided to wait for their visas to hopefully extend their time in Ireland through the summer. We are praying that they get approved ASAP so they can also arrive with us and serve our parish community in Delvin, Ireland. I would appreciate all the prayers that we can get!

This is my teammate Ben. His excitement captures my excitement.
