Chapter 16: Living in Kerry

Greetings everyone!

Here's a quick update from the Jones family. As most of you know we have been living in County Kerry since January. This is a very different life than that of living in Dublin. We went from a city of 2 million people to a small town of 2000 here in Killorglin. The people in County Kerry are great and we have been very busy since we got here.

• Beth is working in the Emergency Department at the University Hospital in Tralee. She works 3 days a week...each shift is 12 hours.

• Saoirse is attending a Montessori school in Milltown which is 10 minutes from where we live. For Saoirse...the bigger the group the better. SHE LOVES PEOPLE! She's attending Monday through Friday from 8am - 3:15pm.

• I'm the family chauffeur driving Beth to and from work and Saoirse to and from school. Beth and I have been involved at Living Rock Church in Killarney on Sundays and serving at Dingle Christian Fellowship on Thursdays. I've been busy leading worship and teaching. It's been such a privelage to encourage the Jesus followers in Kerry. The Lord made it very clear years ago that He wanted us in the southwest of Ireland and we're glad and humbled to be able to serve alongside some wonderful believers.

• As I'm writing this we are in Tennessee. We came back to hold our grandson for the first time. Avery gave birth to Azari Micah Jones on January 26th. He's VERY cute. Mom and baby are doing well.

• As most of you know, Beth and I have been helping with the ICEJ chapter here in Ireland. We have our annual conference next Saturday so we will be making the trip back to Dublin to be a part.

We will be going home in a few days and get back to serving the people of Kerry. It will be hard to leave our family but God will provide the grace and strength.

Thank you for your prayers...they mean a lot.

Keep running the race. Jesus is worth it!

Grace and peace,

Aaron, Beth and Saoirse
