I am here!!!

Last night I arrived in Florence! Thanks to everyone for your prayers for safe travel; my flights went smoothly, and all my luggage made it! For the next two weeks I will be here at La Scuola Biblica di Firenze (Bible School of Florence, home to the Avanti Italia program), located in Scandicci, a suburb of Florence and home to Harding's villa where I studied two years ago. It's great to be back!

Today I registered my presence with the Scandicci police (which entailed filling out some paperwork and getting lots of very official-looking stamps). Kensey and Chad, my future co-workers in Catania, were in town attending to their permesso di soggiorno (permission to stay) paperwork, and Katy, an Avanti worker in Milan, is also here for a few days, so it was nice to see them all before they head back to their respective cities today!


I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity to work in Italy for the next two years and am looking forward to all the joys and challenges that await me and to seeing how God will use me!
