I sent this to family and friend when we were in Milan. I wanted to post it here so you can kinda see how the week started. Hopefully I will have a complete summary up soon! Thanks for praying and continue to pray for Steven and Bo, because they are still very much in Italy!!!
Email: We are in ITALYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
We have arrived...... actually we are about to start our third day!
Our plane ride over was very long, however, a very smooth ride. We got to Milan on Sunday morning. The team was pretty tired by the time we got to the hotel, so we ate some pizza and all took naps! We went to see the "Duomo," which is the big Gothic Cathedral in Milan. We also got to see a castle!
Monday we started English Clubs. 50 students signed up last week and we had about 35 attend. Frank and the team told us that that was a great turn out. Some of the names of our students are.... Irene, Cristian, Silvio, Dina, Matthew (he is actually an international Asian student... his real name is not Matthew), Giulio, & one more but I forgot his name... just call him Robert. We would really appreciate it if you prayed for the students. We had a lot of fun in the class, the Italian students LOVE to talk.
We are about to start day three or day two of classes. I'm going to meet Steven downstairs in 15 minutes and we will walk to the coffee bar and get some breakfast. We found a place where we can eat for 2 euros!... and it's very Italian :)! After that we will have worship time in conference/breakfast room of the hotel. Then we will head out onto the tram to travel down to the University Bicoccoa. We will do a little planning for the class.... the topic today is friends (yesterday was family). Then eat lunch at the school cafeteria, have our classes, and eat dinner. Classes start at 4:30pm and end around 7:30pm. That is about 10:30am to 1:30pm your time... pray pray pray!
