July 28, 2014 - Picture Overload!

Howdy yall!!

Just hanging around...

I realized it's been a while since I have sent pictures, so maybe I will just send a picture email. All is well here in the land of olive oil and yellow melon (these are a few of my favorite things). I got to go back to Pescara and see some old friends and church members and it was really nice to work there again. I am definitely not the same person that showed up there a year ago. Also, I got to pass my one year in Italy mark back in Pescara, so that was a nice little blessing. 

More interested in his phone than my message...
What?! It's okay, totes got that number.
He is so coming to church :)
 (if you haven't noticed, my comp takes lots of
pictures of me when we're out...)

I am learning a lot about patience and love these days. I don't have a scripture or anything for you, just a promise, that if you can somehow manage to stay faithful and just wait until you don't think you can wait anymore, and if you wait well (patiently), that God really will take care of you and give you EXACTLY what you need, which is probably different than what you thought you needed. And then, while you are waiting, look around and see who you can help along the way. Observe than serve. It will take your mind off waiting and you will develop more love! Just don't ever give up on the Lord. Never stop waiting and seeking! He PROMISES us that if we ask we will receive, and if we knock it will be opened, and if we seek, we WILL find. So ask, knock, seek. Go! Show some trust in the one person that has never let ANYONE down! :) 

I love you all.
