Ciao tutti!!!  The sun is out and we are ready to bust out the flip flops here in Salerno…ok maybe not the flip flops but at least the sun is out!  Praise God for warmer weather  We just got done with the two Vision Trips in March.  It was such an amazing experience!  Our whole team was so encouraged by what God did through the students of UCF and Mississippi State.  Thanks to all who came!  There are countless stories we could all tell about Vision Trip.  One of the coolest things about it was the Wednesday when MSU was here when I looked around the Piazza by Bar Ingeneria and just saw maybe 5 huge groups of Americans and Italians sitting, standing, and talking about God, life, sports, ect.  So many spiritual conversations were had throughout those two weeks.  God showed His faithfulness so much and instilled a new sense of hope for all of us.  It’s amazing how He came through for me, especially with reminding me how it’s not about me at all..not how well I know the language, not how many friends we have here, not how well the ministry is doing…it’s all about Him!  It was a crazy two weeks, but so much fun and so worth the insane tiredness that followed it.  For me, I really loved being on “the other side” of the vision trip since I came as a student last year and got to experience it from a STINTER’s point of view this year.

Now that VT is over, we have been scurrying trying to get in touch with all our new friends so that we can meet up with them.  We have also begun having Bible studies at university on Mondays and Tuesdays.  We are going through John.  So far, I’ve really enjoyed it.  English Hour has been going really good too.  We have had some great discussions on faith and hope.

Now we have a little bit longer until summer project arrives!  I am excited to see what this month holds.  Thanks for keeping up with us and please keep praying for the ministry here!  Ciao Ciao!!!
