One more thing...

We have all arrived home after a loooooong day- one that we can officially say was the longest day of our lives- literally.  After being delayed in the scorching hot Newark Airport for 2 extra hours, we eagerly ran through the Buffalo Airport to meet up with our families.  It really felt good to be home despite the many amazing things we have to share of our experience in Northern Ireland.  And I think that may be one of the best things about arriving home to so many people we care about-  getting to share about what has happened, what God has done, and how we have been changed.

Thanks so much again for following along, and keeping us in your prayers, we most definitely needed it and could see the effects of it.  God has done great things, and will continue to do so.  Thank you God for being faithful and good.

Beth

PS--- for all you longing to know what happened to the bee... well...

As it turned out, Harry actually saw the bee and swept it outside on the morn of Doug's traumatizing experience.  After hearing Doug's rendition of the event, Harry stealthily went outside, and retrieved the bee, and let Jenny in on its whereabouts.  They managed to keep this a secret and continued to pester Doug until our very last night.  When Jenny and Harry came to say their goodbyes, they admitted that they had a gift for only Doug on this evening... a tiny bag for a tiny gift... which elicited a grand response.  As Doug opened the gift he uttered "So help me Jenny Robinson if this contains that bee...!"  which his raised eyebrows, widened eyes and huffing made clear the verdict as he removed a small plastic clear box containing the bee's body.  We all had a great laugh and truly enjoyed to the fullest the company, hospitality, friendship and shenanigans experienced through Harry and Jenny on this trip.  Thanks again Harry and Jenny you were the most amazing hosts and we already miss you:)
