My sheer excitement over the David Gray album came to a screeching halt when I discovered that it was a live album of covers that was only available on his website. But, that disappointment was soon replaced when I remembered Erin's sister, Melissa was coming! At the moment, Erin and I are waiting for our lift to the airport to meet her delayed flight.
Last Monday was our first time at the Scripture Union at Dunclug College, a secondary school on the edge of our estate. For the rest of the semester we will be attending the junior and senior SU to help out and to get a chance to meet another set of kids. This school draws kids from all over Ballymena, so there are students we know from both the Dunclug area and Ballykeel, as well as areas we have yet to visit. We are also hoping to encourage some of the students we already know to start attending these lunch time meetings. This week we heard about the math teacher's summer trip to Uganda and next week we will be working on getting Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes filled and sent out. Over the next few weeks, we will have the opportunity to go bowling with the students and have dinner with the teachers who lead SU. Beginning in January, after we return from Christmas, we are planning on leading the meetings ourselves using the Junior Alpha course.

Be sure to watch the video that is on the main page of the website. Dwight, Erin, and I saw this in the previews at the movie theater a few weeks ago.
This past week also included:
a great visit with some friends in Ballykeel
an encouraging prayer meeting with the Hope team
a school assembly
several packages from home
listening to Joel's sermon with Catherine and Paul
baking brownies with girls
introducing Neil to The Frames
a prank phone call
Dwight busting another bike tire on the way to the gym
a visit with Colin
Hebrew bible study
going to breakfast in town
the new Radiohead album
We can not believe that it is already October 12. The months are passing far to quickly.
love,
