Straight from the Journal:Ireland Day 6-Alarms and Hellos

Accidentally forgot to set my alarm last night, and dreamt about Parks and Rec while everyone else was up having breakfast. Headed off to the MBC lecture, which seemed to go by very quickly. The books we brought to sell are being purchased much more towards the end of the week. After lecture, we went to Carolyn's house for lunch, and enjoyed good fellowship. They had a beautiful home, and a board for standing in the tallest tree. Naturally, I climbed it, and loved looking at the scenery for a few moments. Matt and I were paired up to do some door-to-door evangelism. Most people weren't ome, but we put flyers in the letterboxes, and talked to a few moms who were home with kiddos. But we met a woman who already went to Midleton Baptist! She introduced her kids, and although we thought we were going to share the Gospel, she pointed at the flyer and said "yeah, look, that's me!" It was a solid hour in the sun. A couple from Kinsale Baptist had us over for dinner, and shared with us how they met. He was from South Africa and moved to Ireland for employment, thinking he would never be married. She returned from being in China for four years. They had been invited to the same church event, and as she walked in, he felt the Lord say "that's going to be your wife". They sat together and she gave him her number. After a week or two, he proposed! She though he was crazy, and three years later, she finally said yes! We later spent half an hour in Castlemartyr, giving out information about Kinsale Baptist. We spent some time with some American missionaries listening to their story.
