Sorry for the long absence from this blog. I have had a whirlwind of a last few weeks. In the midst of all my travel plans and trip schedualing, I forgot the username and password for this blog but all is fixed and running smoothly again. For those of you who have stayed in touch via other outlets like Facebook, Skype, and Email, thank you so much. I am also so grateful for all the prayers lifted up for my travels and for my time spent here in Italy. God has sown me that I am abundantly loved not only by my family and amazing group of friends, but also by Him as well. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, as well as in America, England, and Italy. Continue to check back regularly for updates and I promise to keep this going while I'm abroad. I may post a few more times very quickly to catch up on things I have done while in Italy. Ciao!
