venire a Cristo: Bagheria Week 3 - A Hike Up the Mountain

So, it’s been a good week here in Bagheria! It rains literally every
day but its okay. That’s why I have an umbrella and I use it all the
time! I’m loving it here though! The work is tough but I’m making a lot
of progress. We do a lot of finding so I have a lot of practice
learning Italian! I’m starting to get pretty good at it! I had a full
20 min conversation with this guy at the bus station, by myself, in
full Italian and it went good. I gave him a pass along card and stuff.
It was so awesome! I don’t know if anything will come off it but it was
a tender mercy from the lord that I needed. I’ve noticed that even if
the times are tough you can look into your daily life and find those
tender mercies from the Lord. I’ve learned that if I try to do that
every day, even on the hard days when it rains for 10 hours, I can
look back on the day and see the little things God blessed me with
that day to help me out! But, I’m glad to be here and I’m so blessed to
be here! Today, for p-day we climbed a mountain that overlooked Palermo
and it was so much fun! When we got near the top it started snowing,
which was a lovely change from the rain, but the view was amazing! It
was so much fun and I plan on doing it again once it starts getting
warmer here! This week was a good week though and I’m excited for what
the future holds!
