This is the end of my third week in Italy and I can say with confidence that I am adjusting more and more to life here. However, language is very difficult and I feel like I will never get it at all! I really desire to be able to communicate, even at a very base level, with people.

I am excited to say that I feel like I am growing closer to God and am hopeful about what He has planned for the rest of the time.

Things I have really noticed this week:

Graffiti is EVERYWHERE

PDA is the most appalling thing here

The sun is wonderful

There is such a huge contrast between old and new here. And it is amazing how much it changes throughout the city as you go from place to place.

Teenagers here are really loud and hyper

Fruit and vegetables are one of my favorite things and here I could eat them non-stop because they are AMAZING!

I am thankful for what I have been blessed with, especially the knowledge of a loving savior.
