New Year, New Placement!

So I know its been a while since my last blog post but with the Christmas/New Year season, DFCI ending, rioting and my family visiting; I have been really busy. Here is a little recap of the past few weeks.

On Christmas Eve my family arrived and we had a lovely Christmas together! It was truly amazing thanks to the families at Dundonald Methodist that welcomed us in and made us feel at home! I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas! Having my family there to share it with me meant a lot!



After Christmas, we saw some of Belfast, went up to the North Coast with the McKees to see the Giants Causeway, and then celebrated the New Year in Dublin. While in Dublin, Allie (my little sister) had her 21st birthday! We also went to the Book of Kells, the Chester Beatty Library, and the Jameson  distillery. It was brilliant!

More exciting news, I start at my new placement on Monday! I will now be working at South Belfast Friendship House in addition to working at Dundonald Methodist Church. I will be helping out 3 days a week where I will be working with their after-school program, Friendship group (senior citizens), and toddler group. I am really excited to start working there! I will keep you updated on my role there but if you are looking for more information feel free to check out their website!



For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
