Unforgettable Weekend

This weekend as been one of the most unbelievable experiences I have ever had. Yesterday, we walked the streets of Derry/Londonderry and took pictures of all the murals for peace and civil rights. The most incredible part was seeing the “H-Block” and Bloody Sunday memorials. Reading the young ages of some of the lives that were taken during Bloody Sunday really hit hard. The town was like nothing I have experienced since I have been here. It was one huge story and a very, very different atmosphere. Today, we were able to hike up Cave Hill, which was a site I have never in my life experienced. As we walked the hill, every person you passed said hello to you as if they had known you for years. You engaged in conversation with anyone within close distance. Even on the hill, the sense of community is still as strong as ever. I cannot say enough how truly blesed I am to have had to opportunity to be a part of something so impactful…and it’s still not over.
