Please keep the Walle family in your prayers. Lindsay Walle is our friend and fellow Avanti worker. She has been planning on joining us in February, after she graduates from Harding University in December. Her father passed away this past weekend. I can't imagine what a difficult time she must be having. Again, please pray for her and her family.
Yesterday, Francesco came for his 2nd English lesson. He opened up a lot more and seemed to enjoy the class. We talked about when Jesus was 12, and was in the temple with the wise teachers. It was neat, because Francesco is 12. After the lesson, he let me listen to the Jonas brothers on his phone :) He explained to me, in Italian, that he doesn't understand any of the lyrics, but he still likes to listen. He also had Justin Timberlake on his phone and I got to explain to him that I am from Memphis, like him, and that I have been to his house. He didn't believe me at all.
Today, Alessandro and Rina both came to class. Alessandro learned about Noah's Ark and a bunch of English words for the animals. Rina is doing so much better with her English already! It's very exciting! She is getting more comfortable with speaking. She got really excited when I told her that I couldn't roll my "r's" the same way she can't make the "th" sound. She said it made her very happy that she is not the only one who has a difficult time!
Debbie leaves tomorrow to go work on a cruise for 2 weeks. She will be doing sign language for the hearing impaired. We will miss her very much!
