Well, I guess it has been a long time since my last post and many things have changed. We are no longer in Sicily, Italy, but instead we are in California living the life of a seminary family. In July we will have been here for one year. A year full of changes and challenges.
We are grateful to the Lord for the way He took care of us, the way He provided the best teachers for our kids, for after school programs that we could only dream about, for my classes at the college, for being surrounded by other believers, for the provision of food, and my driver's license(!!)...there are so many blessings we are thankful for.
In a few weeks Hannah and Benedetta will be done with their first year of school in America and I am so proud of how well they have done and so amazed at how much they have grown. They have learned how to play piano and recorder, that God is One but in three persons, and what Pneumatology is. They have memorized a bunch of Scriptures in Awana and the books of the Old and New Testament, been at their first kid's concert, and had their first art display at CAL ARTS...YUP life in California has been busy, crazy and ... an adventure!
We miss our friends, and being able to share the Gospel with the Italians, we miss relatives back in Italy, and the smell of the fresh fruits and vegetables at the open market. We miss singing Italian songs and the noise of the granita trucks right under our building, mmmhhh we miss Italian pizza and all the potlucks with the church of Acireale...yes I could go on forever....
We are blessed to have a God that loves us and cares so much for us to the point of having a perfect plan. That plan is to make us more mature and to glean glory from our lives.
We have been growing a bunch as we learned to trust Him everyday and in everyday.
We have been on an amazing journey and on these pages I want to share our adventure with you,our dear friends and family.
