Arrival in Italy


We have arrived in italy. Orientation with smoothly and Kristin is enrolled full time in language school. Last week she was in a class with 1 russian, 1 german and 2 spaniards. It was a tough time for her since the teachers don't explain anything in english to you. They do gestures and simple italian to make you figure out what the words mean. This week the german and russian left the school to go home and the spaniards moved up a level. So she has 3 new classmates which are 2 welsh and 1 english. Now she can freely talk to her classmates! They are now all on the same level of learning and the teacher explains more of what she's teaching now that there's only 2 different languages in the room rather than 5. Brandon has been busy with students already since he has the advantage of being fluent in the native tongue. Please continue to pray for his work. All of his students not only want to learn english, but are searching as well and want to know more about the Bible. Please continue to pray for the church of Florence. May the people continue to be encouraged and find their peace and joy in this church family.
