It's been a while since my last update due to the holidays, flu, and all! I hope you all had a happy Christmas and New Year and are getting back into the swing of things. Going in to 2016, I had to pause and look back at all that took place in 2015. Moving to Italy for the year involved a LOT of preparation and transition. I have grown and continue to learn how to be present and enjoy the simpler things each day here in Italy. Lately, I have really been missing my friends and family back home, however the Lord has provided some incredible places where I can rest in His peace.
Here are some more recent pictures from the past few months that capture some of my favorite moments so far.
