I have a title this week!!!!!

Ciao a tutti!! :-)

Welcome, welcome to my blog from this past week of awesomeness, (and the crowds roar- roaring sound with some applause. . . . and a gold star). We went out to supper with a couple, Luigi and Marissa, from Church; and by went out for supper, I mean, we were invited over to their house to eat. And it was some good eatin'. :-) Granted our conversation consisted of this is what a fork is called, (forchetta), or knife, (coltello), and this is how you say so and so. It was great, fried my brain by the end of the night from all I was taking in, but definently a good night. Just a side tangent, that's really not a tangent at all because it is related to what I was talking about just a moment ago; the congregation out here, they're great, I dig, I can't say that I understand everything they are saying, but I dig them. They are good people. Anybody who can be patient while talking to a 25 year old like a three year old because the kid doesn't understand, is patient. Very friendly, smiles and laughs with ya, well, atleast I'm going to assume laughs with me, hard to say when I don't know exactly what they are saying. All that to say that the people here are cool, and if you were to meet them I think that you would both enjoy their company here, and look forward to it in heaven. Ahhh, what a glorious thought. Now this is a true side note: but I must say heaven, dude, oh man, it excites me bunches and bunches and bunches, and you're talking one-on-one with GOD presence. Kool! :-) I tell ya, it takes times like this to reflect on GOD, heaven, and awesomeness to continue to remind me that that's why I'm here, I'm here encouraging the Church, with GOD, heaven, awesomeness; and I'm here sharing that gospel GOD, heaven, awesomeness, exciting-ness, so that others may be blessed with what GOD has given me to share. Oh, I dig that, that's exciting. I hope you're excited. Okay, okay, back on track, you guys are awesome for putting up with all my little detours. :-)
In Pistoia, this week we help clean up the church building for part of the day, and cleaned up a park nearby, that was near a concert they had had a couple nights ago. But I must say it was to my suprise not nearly as messy as I would have thought, but don't get wrong, I'm not saying it was clean. I don't know if I told you this or not, but I feel like every Italian smokes (total exageration), they smoke while reading, riding their mopeds somewhere, doing cartwheels, just basically always (and that was the continuation of my exageration. . . .if you couldn't tell :-) So all that to say their were cigerette butts pretty much everywhere it felt like, pretty gross, but, uh, man grunt, somebody's got to do it. Oh, and we ate lunch with some of the congregation, and there was this lady, don't remember her name, but she definently reminds me of someone; don't know who but definently someone. Which pretty much tells you nothing. So that was pointless, forget I wrote that, because if I could right now I would use one of those old school men in black memory forgetter pens.
On Sunday, we also went out to this lunch-ish, almost dinner so you are "oh, so hungry" things up in the mountians with about half the congregation, so like 15 people, but it was a sweet, sweet thing, and I got pork, mmm, mmmm good. It was a beautiful day, and we got to spend more sweet, chill time with our peps from the Church, which basically just brings me back to they rock, and just so you know, I think you rock, and not just for reading my blog as others may or may not have told you; and if they have told you it's just a rumor don't listen to it, lies, not true, listen to me, hear me roar: YOU ROCK!
I'm sorry if you feel like you don't get anything from this blog. Just know: I would dig it if you get encouraged by it, and know that I am trying to fight that good fight out here, and want nothing more than GOD's awesomeness to reign supreme. That would be awesome. Please continue praying for me and the work out here, I need it, and likewise I'll pray for you, and for your sharing the gospel others too.
