I already thought that life here was totally random, and couldn’t really get much more so…. And then last night happened.

Cortney, Kala and I where invited to come to a discussion last night at the church we are now attending. So we went not really knowing what it was all going to be about. We knew it was either about music or just some Italian learning…. So when we arrive they are running through auditions. And then somehow it was 20 minutes later and we’re singing “Trade my sorrows”. Yep. Us three Americans singing in English with a group of Italians. Gospel.
I was having so much fun, singing this way, praising God and feeling that sense of camaraderie with these people.
We walked away in a bit of a giddy daze, wondering if that really just happened.

So I guess we are now members of a gospel choir in Napoli, singing it out, real loud every Wednesday night. Facebook group to follow shortly.

Having fun today. Went to Sorrento with two of my favorite people in the world, Kala and Cortney. Took some good pictures, made a few new videos and just enjoyed "taking the sun". Yes... living in Italy does have it's perks:)
Last night was the night of the ESL party. Something that I had been looking forward to, and yet, with the prospect of twenty-some rowdy Italian kids was as well a bit daunting.

The party in my opinion, went really well! The kids behaved for the most part, and it was all pretty fun. I loved just being with the kids. They really know us now, and like us, so they are themselves around us and feel comfortable with us. It makes me happy.

The other exciting part of the night was when the story of Joseph was told again to round things off with that. We left the ending free for their discovery in a way, and to our great excitement, the kids and even the mom’s wanted to know where in the Bible the story of Joseph was so they could read through his life story!

I am praying that they will read it and maybe we can have some good talks with them about it.
