Ciao ciao everyone! I hope you all had a lovely February :) I feel like February 1st was so long ago, yet it went by so fast! It's funny, in exactly 2 months I will be on a flight home to Memphis! I miss you all so much! There is so much going on in Roma!
After much, much, much (did I mention much?!), planning; the Spring Breakers are here!!! The Miami University group got in this morning at around 9 am! They have gone through orientation and are exploring the city! I sadly have not been able to meet them yet, because of conflicting plans but they are coming to help with serving the refugees this weekend! There are a total of 12 people here! It is definitely going to be a busy week of fellowship, friendship, service, learning, worship, and tons more! Anyways, the group is divided into teams and will be working on different campuses all over Rome! They will be doing a survey on humanitarian efforts. Hopefully we will be able to get Italian students plugged into what we are doing here! Also, this Wednesday we have the Festa della Donna! This is a day to celebrate women, and it is directed at the student population although everyone is allowed! We will photography displayed, poetry readings, and singing by several women! Plus a great time for fellowship and meeting new people! We are hoping to have 100 people in attendance for this event! Please be praying for this!
Also, immediately after the Miami group leaves we will be having another team join us that same day from Ole Miss! We have a total of 64 people from there! During this week the Ole Miss will have much of the same schedule as the Miami group. They will be divided (into larger) groups, and will be meeting with students from Italian universities. At the conclusion of that week we will be having a party for all the students (Ole Miss and Italian!), at a venue in Roma. There are rumors that there will be karaoke! So that should be a sight!
With everything going on in the Middle East, Rome has had a huge influx of refugees fleeing to the city. It is said that there are a million NEW refugees in Italy alone. So please be praying for God's provision in all of this. After the two weeks of Spring Breakers coming I will be heading to Athens, Greece! I have booked my flight (and am now terrified to take the shuttle), and am going through the short-termer manual now! Please be praying for God's provision through all of this!
Moving forward for His Glory.
