Making progress


Yesterday was amazing!
One of our newer students started coming for lessons because of one of his co-workers who is a member of the church here. He has become very interested in learning more about the Bible. Yesterday morning, he even brought his wife for a lesson! He talked to Chad and I about the fact that he feels like there is a God, and he began praying to Him about a year ago. He explained that he started coming to us for English lessons, just so that he could learn English...but now is much more interested in getting to know us and what we believe. It was very exciting! He ended up coming back later yesterday afternoon and brought his adorable 3 year old son, who was almost too cute to handle. We put puzzles together and talked about Italian/English colors. He came again today, and told me that his son was repeating the colors that he and I had talked about, in the car on the way home! He is planning on bringing his family to worship services on Sunday morning!

This morning, we made the 30 minute trek over to the other building for lessons. It's quite a walk, but great exercise! It's also nice to be able to see other parts of the city. We ran into Alan, a former Avanti Italia worker who is here running a study abroad program. He is married to Anna Maria, who stayed with us at the Bible School for a couple of months. They just recently had their baby, and he is doing very well! Hopefully, we will get a chance to meet him very soon!

Tonight we attended the mid-week Bible study, which was encouraging as usual.
I hope you are all having a great week! Hang in there, tomorrow is Friday!!!
