On Tuesday night I went to language class as usual. I had so much fun! We were laughing and having a good time. After class one of the guys asked if I wanted to check out another language school. He couldn't tell me anything about it... which was weird. Vicky asked me if I wanted to go too. He said the class was from 4-7pm on Friday. He asked where I lived, and I told him the street. He didn't know where the street was, so I gave him a tract that had the name of the church with a phone number. (I already had it in my pocket because I was going to give it to him anyway... smooth, very smooth.) I told him I lived near the church. He was going to give it back, but I told him he could keep it. He asked if I had others, and I said yes. Pray he'll read it!!! It's in Italian so I'm hoping he'll be curious to learn what all the words mean.
On Wednesday I went grocery shopping with Mrs Bloyd, and in the afternoon Paul and I took the scooters downtown. I bought a small Italian-English dictionary, and he checked to see if someone could fix his soccer bag. Some kids (when I say kids I mean teens) were sitting on our scooters... so annoying, but it was fun telling them to move. Oh yeah... after we got back from shopping, I found a bouquet of red and pink roses on my bed with a card attached :) Peter asked Mr Bloyd to get them for me :) Giovanna gave me a sweater when we were over at her house for dinner. Early that afternoon, Mrs. Bloyd gave me a black skirt that was too small for her. So basically, I got a new outfit!
Today is a holiday in Terni because St Valentine is the patron saint of the city. They have a flea market every year, so Mr & Mrs Bloyd and I went down to it and passed out tracts while looking around. By noon there were a ton of people there! I saw this procession of a bunch of priests and it looked like there were some Jews added in the mix. Weird, I know. I'll try to attach the video I got of it. Mrs. Bloyd and I visited an older couple from church this afternoon. They are so sweet. We stayed about an hour just talking about random stuff like the war (I think they meant WWII...), the election in the States, David, and some other stuff that I might get killed for if I mention it... :D It's dark outside now... I guess I should close my blinds.
I'm not sure what I'm doing tonight. I'm checking on hotels for da boys to stay in while we're in Milan next week. Oh yeah, I'm going to Milan next week! It's going to be amazing! Hopefully I'll be able to stay connected to the cyberworld, but I can't promise anything. I'll make sure my journal entries for those days will be able to be copied and pasted...
Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow. That is just plain fantastic, my friend. Keep posting pics and stories... living vicariously through you is highly enjoyable!
Tonight was Artist Series. It was a dramatic presentation of David's life; you would have really enjoyed it, I think. :-)
(Btw, if the "Jews" you referred to were the guys in the video with beards and black hats, they are not Jews. They just have different vestments to distinguish them from the other orders.)
Glad your life is amazing!
