So, I decided that it would be a good idea to have a way for you to frequently keep up with my Belfast mission experience. Here, I'll delve deep into daily life in Belfast and share the view with you through some pictures and videos. Read and enjoy!
Much love,

Hannabananah,
Love your blog and great that you are there safely. It is sad that you have seen what we hear too often, here and there: "Christians" both of whom claim devoutness on opposite sides of a true fence. We know that you will help to melt that fence with your love and devotion!Bill
