The Edwards left today for 2 weeks to visit some churches in Scotland (where they will plan to work after leaving Italy), so Lindsay and I have been in FULL cleaning mode! We straightened, scrubbed, and scraped all morning and it was very refreshing! The happiest members of our household were our two goldfish who are too excited to sit still!
Some cool things:
First, a man that I will call Don came into the church building yesterday afternoon, interested in some English lessons. He and Chad talked for quite a while, and he decided to stay for our mid-week Bible study that night! He talked to several of the members and explained that he is "Catholic by tradition" but that he has recently began searching for a personal relationship with Jesus. Brandon's lesson last night was on the differences between denominations and the church of Christ. (Yes, I understood everything-whoo hoo!) Don agreed with everything that was discussed and said that he will definitely be back on Sunday!
Also, when I walked into the coffee bar today, the waitress handed me exactly what I always order without me having to say a word. Ok, so maybe it's not as cool as the first thing, but it is pretty neat...or just means that I need to quit my coffee addiction that I have developed since moving to Italy.
I will be "out of the office" all next week starting tomorrow. Please do not be offended if I am not able to respond to emails! I hope you all have a wonderful week, and don't forget to wear GREEN on Tuesday!!!
