Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be writing you from my new apartment in Italy!! I have been living in it for almost three weeks now and have been abundantly blessed by this little place. Below is a picture of me in front of my home (mine is the top floor) and if you click to the next picture you will see the full view of the apartment. SEND OFF AT THE AIRPORT On the morning of September 11th, my mom and I packed our bags, loaded the car, and set off for the airport. We were greeted by a wonderful group of people who had gathered to see us off: family, friends, church family, former students. We laughed, cried, hugged, and ended with a time of prayer. I couldn't have been more blessed
