Poor sweet Emily was trying to fly standby from Rome back to the States, and all the flights have been overbooked until the 6th. She is on a train back to Florence right now. Hopefully she will be able to fly out from London sometime tomorrow. She has had a really rough day with no sleep since 2 nights ago, so please pray that for her safety as she comes back tonight, and as she ventures out again tomorrow.
Also pray for Jim and Louine Woodroof, David's parents, who will be boarding a plane any minute now to head to Florence! They will be here visiting for about 3 weeks, and we are all very excited!
David and Debbie loved the lesson plans for our kids' class! We all got a lot of work done today in the classroom to get it ready to be used for the kids and for the annual Men's Convention that will be held here in a couple of weeks. In going through everything, we even found some great puppets in great condition that we can use!
Cultural tip of the day: Do not assume that you can move to Italy and paint the inside walls of your house any color you would like. Upon entering the paint store, you will be asked what the paint will be used for. The store owner will then decide whether or not he will sell you the paint color that you want. In most cases, he will not. He will then choose the color he thinks your room (that he has never seen) shall be. Probably white, or a variation thereof.

Meet Nancy!
She is rather difficult to photograph because she is so fiesty. I had trouble getting her sweet little eyes. She and Mario came to the Bible School to have lunch with us today.

Hahaha - the Paint Nazi! That is hilarious! Mom
Jim Woodruff is so cool--I had him for a Romans course ages ago and loved him. He wouldn't remember me, but I learned so much in that class.
