Okay, so this video mainly captures their last minute jitters, but the girls actually woke up at 7 AM, bright eyed and excited, and a little nervous, for their first day of Irish school! We ate a huge breakfast of crumpets (pancakes), hot chocolate, turkey bacon (yes they have it here), oranges and blackcurrant juice (yum! it's the most popular kind of juice over here, called Ribena). We read scriptures and a story from the Friend, said prayers, got their hair done, and then counted down the remaining few minutes before it was time to leave. We were all nervous walking to school, and I got a few hand squeezes as we wound our way through the halls looking for their classrooms. No tears though - they were so brave, and I was so proud of them! I reminded them (as dad did in their blessings last night) that angels will be watching over them. I shed a few tears on the way home and prayed hard for my little Irish lassies as they undertake this new challenge!
