Ciao a tutti

I just like that beginning. What a good one, right? Besides it's in Italian, and that means I know at least on Italian phrase. Malto bene Brandon!! That right there is me learning Italian; because this past week we started our Italian class, and, bum di de bum, trumpet noise, sound, it rocks; kinda like that trumpet noise, sound. yeah? yeah. I'm laughing. So here is an Italian phrase you should wish to never hear me say: " Io sono incinta, ganzo." Because, well, ganzo means awesome; and it would not be awesome if I was pregnant. All besides the point. We found a cheap Italian tutor here in Prato, she only speaks Italian, but considering she has somehow managed to teach me Italian, and me understand. I'm impressed. Oh, and I should probally chime in on myself and mention that she did not teach me how to say that I'm pregnant; she taught me how to say "I am". . . and I looked up pregnant because I thought it was funny. See funny, well I'm still laughing, okay, you're right it's not that funny, but laugh with me to make me feel funny. So, foward motion, we have this class three days a week for about two hours, which let me tell you, is a lot, a lot of Italian to learn. Phew (that's how I feel afterwords. . . . in one word. . . .thats English.. . . .Is "phew" English?). But like I was saying,two hours of Italian class, and of course, my favorite thing ever,homework. Granted she rights "OK" on my homework when I've done it, and done it right, which is cool. Maybe I can talk her into giving me gold stars or something awesome like that, because that would be awesome; but if not that maybe at least write awesome, but in Italian!! GANZO!!!!! Yeah, and in all caps, with lots of exclamation marks!! Very excitingly, and it makes me feel good about my homework so I want to learn more and do better (teachers, scratch that, everyone, take note of this gold stars are awesome; ooohh and scratch and sniffs they work well too. Use gold stars and scratch and sniffs: this is a subliminal message.) But outside of working hard towards learning Italian, we've been spending a good amount of time in the evening/night down at the square, or duomo, (the happening place in Prato), trying to meet people that we are able to hang out with and tell about JESUS, because JESUS is totally awesome and the reason we are here. Ahhh yeah!
So I totally forgot about this till, well, basically this very moment, but we met this guy who's name honestly I don't remember, but I do remember I try pronouncing it and failed miserably. All besides the point, I'm excited because this dude can talk both in Italian and English, and we talked of the idea of getting together in the future so we can both work on our talking, (which for him is English,in case you were wondering, I was.) So, yeah, that rocks. Say it out loud for me, "That rocks, JESUS, you rock, thanks for putting someone who might want to learn about your awesomeness in Brandons life." Do it, say it now. Peer pressure.
I don't know what else to say at this very moment but that life is good, I dig it, and pleasssseee continue to pray and support me in my ministry over here in Italy, as I can see that GOD has plans for the work over here.
