Our weekend

We spent Saturday night with Travis and Teri up in Londonderry, so we could be closer to Roe Valley Baptist Church in Limavady Sunday morning where Stephen was getting to preach. 

We had a great time with the kids and Grant even shared his birthday cake with us. He is getting so big, he is talking up a storm too, as long as he isn't waking up. I have to say it was so nice to be around friends we know so well. Sometimes you don't realize just how much you need fellowship with other christians, it has been a true blessing from the Lord the few times we have been able to go visit with Travis and Teri.  Teri is a great cook so anytime we have an opportunity to go for dinner... I mean a spend time with them, we are excited about going.

We woke up bright and early to get ready for the drive to Limavady, I had not been there before so I was looking forward to seeing the church and getting to know Marsha and the kids a little better. Pastor Ronnie Smith was a away preaching in Wales so we missed out on visiting with him. 
We had a good service at Roe Valley, Marsha and the kids did a great job with the music. It was a blessing to here Austin and Amber sing. I hope I got the names right.  Stephen preached a great message on the lions in our life. The church people were so friendly and like most northern Ireland people I have met they like to wined you up or get you going. 
Marsha invited us and the Snodes over for dinner after church. So after the service we went over and got to visit with her and the kids well she made supper. She out did herself for sure. We had home made rolls, mac & cheese, chicken tenders, corn, coleslaw, mashed taters and apple carrot cake to finish it off. What a great meal. We really had a good time. 
We started to get ready to leave when a storm blew in bringing with it pea size hail, lasting only about 10 minutes, pretty normal weather for here. 
We headed home with a warm heart and very full belly.
