Half Way

I can't belive my time here is half up. I got here exactly 4 months ago, and will be home in exactly 4 months. Something I've learned since I've been here is as you walk up a mountain it can seem like your getting nowhere until you look back and realize how far you've gotten. Thats what I'm doing now.I think back and wonder where all the time went. On the other hand I think back to my first week and think how far I've come. I've become a part of a great community in Greenhill and in Newcastle.

What's been happening most recently isn't that exciting. We have had a few new volunteers join the group. One from Germany, which makes 5 Germans (We always joke about how we have way too many Germans) and two local volunteers. The new volunteers are getting their outdoor training. Since at first no one knew I was going to be an outdoor instructor I never got training, so the powers at be in Greenhill decided I should train with them. Most of the stuff we are learning I already know, but its good to have a refresher some times.

Something else that is finally starting to take off is the planning for the prayer walk. The RAD team had been assigned to try to create a prayer walk for the center. We really started from scratch, and have brainstormed through a lot of ideas. As we made relationships with people in the church we have gotten their help on it as well. The plans are finally starting to take shape, plus the center has gotten some funds to help in the creation. Hopefully we can get in running before we leave (things work a bit slower in Ireland than in the States).

Thats about all I have for now. God Bless.
