Ciao a tutti miei amici
Io spero che tutto e’ benissimo.
Earlier this week Anna left us, which I must say is quite the bummer. I do not dig. If you by any chance see her tell her Brandon, the one she knows in Italy says, “Come back now!!!” But you don’t have to put the exclamation marks. All that to say, Anna left, but it was wonderful to have her out here as she encouraged us all greatly; and you can tell her I said that as that makes me look like a really, really good person, (Brandon, you pharisee lol). Okay. Okay, you don’t have to tell her I said that. :-) But here’s a cool story, at least I think it’s cool. One of those, I just totally saw GOD guide all of life to get working even more for you good, and His glory sort of things. It’s great. . . . so story. We are trying to take Anna to the train station, right, well we are taking her there, not trying we succeeded; not like our trips to Florence (don’t ask, okay ask. . . I get lost every time.) Either way we get there and the train she intended on taking cost like twice as much as thought but there was another train about an hour and half later for only a little more that is a straight shot, no stops on the way, (oh, by the way we are in Prato, and Anna is trying to get to Milan where she flies out). So she does that, we know have an hour and half to spend on, well, we don’t know. We go to the Duomo, the square, the center of town where everyone chills, at least old men in the middle of the day. That and we were close to there. That made is that much more appealing.  We park the car and don’t even make it to the square before we run into someone Anna had met on the train when coming back from Florence. It was a girl from Australia, actually three girls, but Anna had only met one of them. They were sitting out, leaning against a wall chillin’. We ended up spending the next hour chilling and seeing where these girls go to school and all, swapped info, basically numbers and facebook. But it was just so funny to me how coincidental and yet divine it felt; for us to have things planned (kind of), train and all, that to change only for us to have an ideal amount of time to chill with people we don’t know yet but are only able to meet if we have Anna with us. Crazy I say, Crazy. Agree or disagree, I still think it cool, really cool actually. And actually I change my mind, you should just agree don’t bother with disagreeing- that’s lame. Be cool, give into peer pressure and agree. Lol. Man my humor is lame, but I’m still laughing. Moving on.
We have also began to pass out “Teach English Using the Bible” flyers, and I don’t know why quote that, that is definitely a paraphrase. Eh. We passed out a good chunk, but I wouldn’t say lots today, and am planning on passing out more in the coming weeks, so that we can (come on guess, I’ll give you three tries and if you still can’t get it with it written right after this well. . . . . yeah) Teach the Bible Using English!!!! Woo hoo gold stars for everyone. You’re a winner. (You should feel very encouraged by now but if not, here is one more attempt) Oh, you so pretty ;-) and the gun.
Oh, and final note, we might be moving into another building; changing locations of the congregation. From one place in Prato to another place in Prato; and if that happens, I hear we will be doing some manual labor inside the building to beautify it.
You guys rock, I dig you hard core, everyone of you. Thank you always for your prayer and support, and know you’re always in my thoughts and prayers too. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE EXCLAMATION MARKS (they’re just soooo happy:-)
