Prayer Request

Hey guys :) I miss you a lot. Things in Ireland continue to be wonderful and I am still having a great time! Unfortunately this isn't one of those "I love my life in Belfast" posts...
There are only five of us with Butler in Belfast and we have all become incredibly close which has been amazing. It breaks my heart though to write that Dave's dad died early this morning. He flew home a few weeks ago to say goodbye and we had an idea that this could happen before he made it back to Oregon. He's going to stay in Belfast until Christmas, as planned, but this is obviously a really hard time to be away from home and with people you have only known for a few months. I was talking to him for a while today and he was just expressing how despite expecting it and being able to say goodbye, it is still so surreal. "Cherish the time you have with your parents, Emma. Please." If you all could say a prayer for Dave and for his mom, it would mean the world to all of us over here. All my love, Emma.
