Today I had my fourth driving lesson. I'm still waiting for the confirmation date of when my test will be.  The lessons have been very helpful as I would have failed for sure if I had tried to take it without any lessons. With only half who take the test passing the lessons are a must. I just hope after having spent loads of time with lesson that I pass the first time.

Well, tonight is our last night with Russ & Judy, Andrea's parents as they will be leaving us tomorrow morning. We've had a brilliant time with them the nearly three weeks they have been with us. We have seen and discovered many new sites in around Ireland as well as other places since their visit. It's been soooo good for our kids to have their grandparents around to love on them and be with them. They've been so encouraging and such a help around the house as well. They are so giving, loving, and caring. We are saddened to see them leave. We're excited for the Jones grandparents to arrive sometime during the Fall.

But, as we say goodbye to Andrea's parents tomorrow morning we say hello to some friends from the States who will be arriving later in the day to stay with us for about eight days. They have two kids, a boy and a girl, both whom our kids love and spent loads of time with playing together when we lived in the States. It will be so good to be with them and see them again.

Friday the boys wrap up their summer of tennis and in the night we're having a barbeque (cookout) for the Cell. Aisling rang earlier tonight to say that she was bringing two new friends with her. Everyone's pretty excited about this, as we expect quite a few to attend. We're hoping to see many new faces as we continue to build Kingdom friendships.

Saturday will most likely be spent enjoying our friends from the States and showing them some of the sites, as well as reviewing for Sunday. Sunday I'll be preaching at Ballycullen Community Church, as they are currently without a pastor. This is also where our teammates the Laughlins and Stephanie Kozick are ministering for their orientation year.

Thanks for walking the journey...
