Sunday I met city kids with ponies, played rounders and was completely welcomed by new friends.

I had arranged for a taxi to pick me up for services Sunday morning. I waited and waited, but they never showed up. Mary\u2019s husband, my host at Greenacres Bed & Breakfast, knew where a Kingdom Hall is, so he dropped me off. I thought I would be very late. Our congregation met at 9:30. I had hoped to get there early enough to meet people, instead I thought I would be over an hour late. But, I wasn\u2019t late at all. This congregation did not meet until 10:30.<\/p>\n

Afterward, I met with the group going in Field Service. We were inviting people to attend a special talk the next Sunday. We visited people on a council-run housing estate. This is like low-cost housing here.<\/p>\n

A kid wanted to show me his horse. He really did have a horse in the back garden of the house. The horse had to walk right through the house to get in and out of the back yard! It was a beautiful well cared for small horse living in the back garden of a townhouse. It was very affectionate.<\/p>\n

The boy led his horse out to show me some tricks he could do. He was standing up on the horses back when other kids came out with their horses. Pretty ponies and small horses. Really! Living in low-cost housing in Dublin! This is a video by Magali Chapelan.<\/p>\n
