Milan!

I have finally arrived in Milan two weeks after I left home! Our week at the gite in france was a really great experience. I loved meeting people and talking and building relationships as well as the sonship material that we covered. It was some heavy stuff but definitely in a good way. I'm still trying to process everything! After the week at the gite, Corrie and I headed back to her apartment in Milan where we repacked our bags and met Daniel and Joi for lunch. After lunch we headed to Rimini which is on the Eastern coast of Italy for a conference. It was very interesting to immediately be immersed in Italian culture. The conference was great from what I could understand of it. The worship was my favorite part, a lot of the songs we sang were songs that had been translated from english so I knew what they were talking about. I've found that I can understand a decent amount of what people are saying but I barely know any Italian at all other than a few phrases that I use daily. Language school starts tomorrow and I move in to the house with the woman I am staying with tomorrow night. The rest of the week doesn't look 'too' busy other than language school and the birthday party we are planning for Saturday, but I'm sure plenty of other things will come up. I'm excited to start to meet people in Milan as well as get involved with some Bible Studies and prayer meetings. Pray for the people of Milan and the World Team Missionaries here! Hopefully I will be able to write a little more often now that I am in Milan
