Eight Days till' Home

Eight more days! We love it here in Italy, but we also miss home immensely. We have gotten reports that our animals are doing well as is our whole house. Today Dad finished up his leadership training with the people here at the mission. It started last week. These last three days he helped lead them through a process of redefining their mission statement and goals. It went very well. They have been doing that in the mornings and then we have done various things for lunch. Tomorrow Mom and Dad start a three day leadership retreat with the some of the couples from the church at Froncavilla (Chieso de Cristo).

Today we went to a "Bella" (beautiful) restaurant called "Villa Reale". It was out in the country and was privately owned by a family. It was "Bellisimo" (Delicious)! We really enjoyed that. After lunch we came back to the center and met Bennedetto, the owner of the land that the center is on. He was a truly "bene" (good) man.

We also wanted to say how much we appreciate the comments on the blog. It is nice to here from people even though we can't respond personallly. Thank you for your prayers!
