This weekend was jam packed! I'm exhausted! A group of people came in from Rome on Friday and spent the weekend here working, visiting, passing out fliers, and holding a conference. It was great to see some of the people we had met at the convention, and meet some new people, too!
This is inside the church building here in Florence. The conference was The Resurrection of Jesus: Myth of Reality. The speaker was Vittorio Vitalone from Rome.
Virginia, Chad, AndreaVirginia is Vittorio and Tonia's daughter
This is a darling little girl whose family is from Albania. I wish I knew how to spell her name. I went with Sarah and Vittorio's wife, Tonia, to visit her, her mother and her new baby brother.
Happy Birthday Mario!!!
Dinner at the building. That is Tonia and Vittorio on the end.More pictures
Last night, we had the HUF group to the Bible School for "Sunday Night Church." Debbie made chili for everyone! It was a lot of fun!
Today I got to meet 2 of my new students. Matteo, who is Rina's son/Lisa's brother and his girlfriend Sarena. They were really nice. They seem to have about the same level of English which is really helpful since they will be coming together for lessons. They did really well with the reading comprehension and repeating back to me the story, in their own words. Rina laughed about the fact that her whole family is taking English lessons now. Lisa and Francesco also came today. Both of their lessons also went well. I am thinking about having a time where all of my students can come over for dinner one night to practice their conversation with each other and with us, before I leave for Christmas.
