Last night I had my Italian class. It went pretty well. One of the women from Brazil knows English really really well because she lives in London. I was paired off with her for an exercise, which really helped.
My my Indian friend's name is Vicky. Someone was asking the teacher to define Santa Biblica, and the teacher said it was a holy book that Christians read. Vicky asked if I knew the Bible; I said yes. He then asked if I was a Christian; I said yes. I asked him what he believed, and he said Hindu. Unfortunately, class began right after that. Hopefully, next time I can talk to him more.
Mrs Bloyd and I went downtown in the afternoon yesterday, so I just stayed downtown until my class started. I took a few pictures. I felt like tourist. It's not like people don't stare anyway. You know what's really weird tho??? I've had people ask if I was Italian. Do I look Italian? I don't think so. Hello, just look at the freckles, and my pants are definitely not European. I've been tempted to wear my boots over my jeans like the Europeans, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet.
I heard Wtown was -30F yesterday with the wind chill... Praise God I'm not there! The weather is absolutely gorgeous here. It feels like a Wisconsin spring here in Italy. :) Granted there are some cold days here. The high for today is 8 (degrees in Celsius) and the low is 3. So that's a high of 46.4 F and a low of 37.4 F. Not too shabby :)
Today, a few missionaries in Italy are coming to Terni to meet together. It's pretty much an all day event, and it should be interesting.
A few prayer requests before I go:
- Salvation: Vicky, the Women from Brazil, Lorella, the Albanian man with the potato on his forehead, Marcella, and all the other lost Italians
- Pray I'll learn Italian as best as possible
- Pray I'll get a chance to talk to Vicky about God on Tuesday
- Pray for the exchange rate
