Life is beautiful!

Our street with our flat
Looking downtown from our street
A week in this beautiful country of Ireland! We are learning lots, like how to dodge vacated cars (they don't park they just get out) and maneuver crowded streets and how difficult opening a bank account is. We ventured downtown and through the busy, narrow streets of Belfast four times before we had the right combination of paperwork and people that would allow us to deposit and hopefully retrieve money from the bank. On failed trip three I wasn't quite as Canadian as I had been on one and two, mind you rules are tools or so we were told. The only problem was the rules changed depending on who we spoke with. But all is good we have received a warm, friendly welcome everywhere we have been. Even the weather has been welcoming.The sun has shone on every day we have been here with a few rain showers to go with it but on the whole very pleasant. The land is green and spring flowers brighten the yards.
Lagan River 
We walked along the Lagan river today at Shaw's bridge.Such a beautiful place. As you look at the pictures imagine a sweet flowery smell in the fresh air and the chitter and chirping of birds.

The Rosetta building we use for YSA
We love the young people we are working with and are very busy with the preparing and doing. Those that come out have wonderful testimonies of Our Saviour Jesus Christ but there are many we need to help them find and invite. Our coming week is jam packed including a trip Wednesday to a conference in Dublin. The time change hasn't quite worn off yet but we are getting there:)
