My first 2 weeks in Italy

Ciao from Italia! 

My trip to Italy had more delays than expected and it took a while to get over the jet lag, but I am feeling back to normal and getting into the swing of things! 

When I first arrived, a fellow Gallery 4 team member, Kourtney, came to visit. Having Kourtney here was a great start to my return to Italy.

Following her visit the first student life group with Mosaico Church took place at my apartment. This is one of the highlights of my week!

I'm understanding the language more and more, however responding in Italian is a bit of a challenge. I am staying positive though! The other day I was at
 the grocery store and some man made a joke in Italian and I was able to respond. To me this was a success! I look forward to the day when
 I'm the one making jokes in Italian.
