It was so much fun! We have been planning this for weeks and this week had been especially crazy. But it all came together and was amazing! Rachel, Jacq and I decorated, the place looked stunning! We strung ornaments on fishing wire and lined the ceiling with them! We put lights all over and huge silver snowflakes that we cut from wrapping paper. We had a mini christmas tree with fake presents and loads of candle all over the place to give a wonderful glow! There were loads of people there and almost everyone got on the dance floor for a bit. Some never left! The food was fantastic and the musical events delightful! (Goo job Siona, Hannah, Rachel, Aden, Ian!)I ran around all night, watching Eoin, setting up food, cleaning up, talking with people, dancing, filling water, taking out filled trash cans, and I had so much fun!
This was a fundraising event too! We charged 10 euros a ticket and the profits went to Jacq who is going to Brazil in March, and Ian who is helping with the church in Waterford. They were able to get a good amount of money to help out with their ministries.
Mission Christmas Ball......Success!
I got home at about 1:30 am and slept till 12:30! I haven't slept that much since I was jet lagging!
Anyway, it was such a good time and I am so grateful everything went well.
My hair and makeup for the ball!
And God has been blessing me so much lately! I was able to get enough support to make it though January with paying rent and everything. I will be hitting the pavement on Monday to find a job. Some students from the bible college in Germany came to Cork to visit for 2 days, my parents paid to have them bring 2 suitcases of my things for me! Christmas came early! So now I have more wardrobe and shoe options! I feel so blessing in this week! Praise and thanks you God!
Sounds like a heaven on earth Winter Wonderland! I want to come see you so bad!
