Sorry it has been so long since I updated. I have been sick as a dog. But I'm all better now and I have some exciting news!
First of all, I still love my Italian classes! My teachers are hilarious and my classmates are a lot of fun. Everyday, Daniele and Daniella reassure us that what we are learning is very easy-haha. Yeah...for them.
There is a new woman in my class who is from Brazil, which is neat for me. She does not speak any English at all, so it was fun to try and have a conversation with her in Italian. Notice, I said try.
The Woodroof's went to worship in Milan yesterday. So it was just Chad and I that went to the church in Florence. We were a little nervous about not having any translators, but it went really well! I was asked to help teach the kids class, which of course, I was really excited about! I love kids! One of the teachers came here as an Avanti worker about 18 years ago! She got married and has 3 sweet children. She helped me with translating.
I had my first English lesson/Bible study today! It was with a sweet woman named Rina and her daughter, Lisa. She lives in Scandicci and attends the Catholic church. The study went very well and I am so excited to begin working! They even scheduled to come back separately, which shows they are very interested! Please pray for them, and for David, Chad, and I as we continue our Bible studies.

You sound so much better! Very glad that you feel better. We love and MISS YOU TERRIBLY! AC and WW
So sorry to hear that you have been sick. Working with children will be great for your Italian acquisition. When we lived in Vienna, the college students loved to talk with Molly because they thought their English was equivalent to hers! Plus you get to learn playground Italian--that can be colorful!
