Tollymore Forest


Laura and I just got back from Tollymore and it was BEAUTIFUL! I can see how our friends C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were inspired by the forest. It was great, we walked along paths, climbed trees, ate by the water and took a lot of pictures. It was so peaceful and magical.
This week has been good. On thursday we had movie night. This was really exciting because we are not aloud to watch any movies or t.v. However, sneaky as we are, we have found away around that little rule. There are a few other girls that love Lost as much as we do and so we watch it when all the staff people are watching their movies. Sometimes one just needs to be rebellious.
In March we found out that we will all be going to Belfast to do street reach for a week. But we will fill you in on that when we know more.
Our tickets have been bought for Serbia and we are leaving April 22. It's almost certain that we will be staying in the Church apartment there. We were also assigned duties. Laura is in charge of housekeeping and I am responsible for grocery shopping with another girl. The leaders are hoping that we will be able to go to Turkey as a vacation while we are there. So we will see.
Well that's all for now. You are pretty much caught up to what's happening in the lives of Laura and Alex.

Great pictures girls. Could you see where Lewis got his inspiration?? - hints of Narnia. I loved the picture of Laura sleeping in the tree. You let us see the snow in Ireland and now we are getting hit with a big snow storm today and tomorrow. Em's hoping for a snow day of course.

Love you both. Be safe.
