I'm home!!

It is so great to be back home for Christmas! This is my most favorite time of the year, and I am so excited to be back to spend it with my family! The first thing I did was surprise my sister at work, and I got to see my sweet babies at Harding. Then, I ate some Mexican food. Probably not the most wise decision.

Sunday morning worship at Florence went really well. Maybe it was just the new seating arrangements, but it is starting to feel more like family. After services, there was an Agape (fellowship meal) and a cake to celebrate Marco's birthday. It was a lot of fun, and everyone seemed to be having a great time! Fellowship meal's in Italy are like big family lunches.

After a lot of talking, praying, and planning I have decided to go to Catania for a visit when I get back to Italy in January. It is likely that I will be moving down there to work with the church and help Chad with all of Brandon's students since he will be leaving in April. Lindsay Walle will also be coming to Italy in February and will hopefully join us there. There is a great work going on in Catania and we all believe that it is important to have a team down there to keep it going once Brandon and Kristen are finished with their 2 year committment. I am very excited about this possibility, and would like to ask for ALL of your prayers in this very big decision!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARLEY!!!!!
