Festival in Kilkenny

This last weekend, Saturday through Monday, I had the opportunity to go with Clay(Pastor at Calvary Waterford) and Danny(works at the church, and is an awesome guy, he reminds me so much of my brother Josh) to serve Coffee at a festival in Kilkenny. All three mornings we would meet at Portico(churches coffee shop) and then travel northeast about 40 minutes to Kilkenny. When we first got there, we ran into a few obstacles;  we weren't sure where to set up and could get a hold of the person in charge, we were missing some essentials and we(Clay) rewiring a plug so that it would fit the right outlet. God got us through that and provided what we needed. Our coffee stand was to the right of the gorgeous Kilkenny castle. Our first day there was so beautiful. The sun was out and we were able to explore around the castle a little bit before we go things started. After we got things set up and ready to go, it took a while for things to pick up. Saturday and Sunday were a little slower than we were hoping, but Monday being St. Patrick's Day, we were crazy busy. We went nonstop for a long time, but it was good because it made up for the other two days. It was really neat to serve the people and show them the love of Jesus while doing it. People loved the coffee and they were all very polite. I loved every second of it, even when I was freezing cold. On Saturday Kylie, Ericka and a few people from church took the train to come see us and spend the day in Kilkenny. And then on Monday Hannah and Riannon and Clay's wife and two beautiful little girls came out to watch the parade and explore. St. Patrick's day was crazy fun and busy. Lots of green and lots of people. The Parade in Kilkenny was right in front of our coffee stand, so we could see it. There was carousel and some rides and these people that had a massive drum that people could play on. It went ALL DAY..For all three days. I felt like I was hearing it in my sleep...Haha! But all in all it was an amazing experience. I am so thankful that Clay asked me to come join them. What a blessing this was!
