Pictures from Ireland

Brett and I took a group from our church a couple weeks ago to Ireland for a missions trip. It was fantastic! We stayed in the Dublin area, and spent several afternoons on Trinity College campus, speaking with students and sharing the Gospel with them. Thirty-nine people made professions of faith and we worked to get them hooked up with a local church. The country is beautiful, the culture is fascinating, and the building are gorgeous. I took nearly 200 pictures, so I'll post my favorites and post a collage in just a few minutes.



One day we took a bus/hiking tour to Wicklow Mountains. This area was breathtaking, and several scenes of Braveheart were filmed here.

We did some hiking near an old monastery at Glendalough. There were two lakes up in the mountains that we got to walk to and this waterfall was somewhere along the way.

Had to take a picture of this. Keith noticed it had his birth year on it.

Ahh, the doors of Dublin. Many of them are painted brightly. The Irish were supposed to paint them black when an English head of state passed away to signify mourning, but they rebelliously chose brighter colors.

This was taken when we arrived back in Detroit, after seventeen hours of traveling. It was good to be all together again!
