Day to day scenes and activites from our new lives...

Our lives have changed quite a bit in the last week. We are doing well, although the transition isn't easy, we have the promise of God's Word to remain by our side.

Things are going well, we continue to wait to hear back from the housing agency whether or not they will allow us to have the house we have been praying about; getting things done in Italy is never a simple task. It seems the only time they work is when they really feel like it.

Above is a collage of scenes from our new lives as the title stated.

- The center picture is of Italy's favorite past time, a part from playing soccer, drinking cofee. For those of you who know me, know that I fit right in.

- To the right of that is David Downs, we are blessed in that we get to see his face first thing every morning, he has opened up his house to us until we can find a place of our own. It has been a tremendous blessing, thanks Dave!

- To the left is the toilet, not visible is the booday? I am not quite sure how to spell it, nor use it. They aren't automatic nor heated like they are in Japan. If you have any tips that would be great!

- Their is also a box of pasta pictured, it is our new rice.

- We spend quite a bit if time studying the Italian language, it has been a formidable task for sure but, these books help tremendously. Please pray that the Lord would help us out in the matter.

- Lastly, is our Italian Bible. We are blessed with a lot of time to read and study the Word of God, although we haven't started reading the Italian Bible, prayerfully we will be soon.


Anyways, we are doing well please keep us in your prayers! Thank you for everything and all your prayers.
