this morning i went to church with danielle. it was so good. it is called Calvary Chapel and it is an international christian church. it is small, about 20 people. and they have their service in english and italian. there is something incredible about worship in different languages. it reminds you of how big God is. he is universal. we sang songs first in english and then in italian. for the message, the pastor would say a sentence or two in english and then there was another man up front who would then translate what he said into italitan. the message was about Exodus 20, and focused on the fifth commandment-honor your father and mother. it was a good service and it felt so good to be with a body of believers again. i am so thankful for this church that i will be able to attend while im here.
well, i know i keep saying i will post pictures but i keep running in to many problems. i will keep trying though. it is quite a frusterating situation.

Beloved Daughter,
May you marvel today in the beauty of the world around you. See only the kindness of people, and their intentions to do good. Be available to share a hug and a few words of encouragement to someone in need. Let a smile and a thank-you be the parting words to a teacher today, so they may get a glimse of the beauty of the world, kindness of people, encouraged for their efforts and bring a smile to share.
That church sounds great...and of course we won't forget you!
Hope your week is off to a great start!!

Cori!!! I had been wondering if you made a blog, and then I just gave up wondering, went to the blogger website, and typed your name, and found this beautiful piece of...online Cori. Lancaster and I miss you. Is it warm there? Make sure, if you get a chance, to go through the sewers in Rome because I heard you can find a lot of artifacts. Nevermind, don't do it. But never hesitate to dig in your backyard.
