Greetings on a rainy day in Greystones, Ireland. Though Thanksgiving is not a national holiday here, Erin and I were thankfully still able to get our turkey dinner yesterday. We spent the evening with Scott and Jenn from the Taylor group around the corner as well as with a few Irish friends. We had an incredible feast and a good bit of fun.

This week has been a good week for both Erin and I. We had a great party on Saturday with the Taylor group of students watching the Ohio State-Michigan game. (Unfortunately the better team lost.) Work and ministry have gone well this week. Youth group went well on Friday evening and basketball practices have gone on very well in Ballymun.

God has been so good to us here and we are so grateful for how God has put this experience together. Erin and I are very happy in what we are doing at the school, with the St. Mark’s youth, and in Ballymun with Sportslife. One bit of news, for which we are particularly grateful, is that we will be getting a free place to live from the middle of December to the middle of January. This will save us a considerable amount of money and will afford us a more comfortable setting over the holidays. Thanks be to God!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Tyler and Erin

A few things to be praying for:
- St. Mark’s youth retreat - which will be taking place now from December 15-17. Complications came about with the original dates in November, but it has all be worked out and rescheduled. Pray for God’s leading and blessing on the weekend.
- Dan and Amy Tabb – co-workers of ours’ over here who have been in quite a bit of physical pain lately. Dan is having severe neck and back pain, while Amy is pregnant, and often feels very sick.
- Job for Erin – She is currently looking for temporary job opportunities for after her student teaching experience ends in mid-December. A permit has come through for her, so now it is just a matter of finding a place to work from here on out that would hopefully employ some of her talents and likings.
