So, all the students are now here. It has been very interesting seeing all the reactions from all the new students to the culture here in Italy. Everyone will be going to the church service in the morning, and that will also be interesting. I'm going to try and learn as much Italian as possible this semester, so hopefully I can receive a miracle from the Lord to learn Italian. Right now, we all have a lot of free time and there isn't much to do around the house. Hopefully, that will change once we get into a daily routine with classes and such. It seems weird already having new students here instead of the same group from last semester. It has been very nice to have Marta here with me this semester. I don't know what I would do without her. Her and I continually reminisce about last semester, but that will soon wear off I think. I'm really excited for all the classes I am going to be taking, and I know that I am going to learn a lot anyways because the teaching is amazing here. We are very privileged at this extension campus to have all live classes. The Lord is continually surprising and blessing me, so I can't wait to see what He has in the next portion of the semester.
PRAYER REQUESTS
-Learning more Italian.
-The students would become comfortable and share with each other.
-The new students adapting to the culture and the rules of the semester.
-Guidance on the Outreach trips.

Here I am again!
WOW!
I still can't believe that I am back in Italy! Its been so good to be back in the same apartment and begin to meet all the new students. I have a great feeling about this semester. I think it will be fruitful in a lot of ways! The basement even looks better just by a couple things that they added for decoration. It was really nice to go grocery shopping here again and be in the simple, lovable Italian culture. I guess that's a good intro to the semester... There will be 6 girl students and 2 boys this semester, which is very different from last semester. I know that this is a great beginning and I know that the Lord is going to bless all of us in many ways!
PRAYER REQUESTS-
Travel for the remaining students to Italy.
Organization for the apartments.
Back home in Maine- My dad is sick, pray for recovery. :)
The new christian bookstore and coffeeshop in Ellsworth!
May the Lord bless you all!!
