update from your amica in Ragusa
Ciao tutti!
So last week we ended up working a lot on Wednesday and only had a bit of time for internet, and sorry but my immediate family gets priority. These last 2 weeks it has been wonderful getting to know even more people as they all are getting back in town from vacation. Here school starts about the 15th, and so most everyone is back now.
I feel like I write this a lot, but the more I meet people from all different backgrounds the more I feel blessed for all the blessings I have in my life. I really appreciate the fact that I was able to go to school, that I can get a job if I need one, that I have people who care about me, and that I have this opportunity to be a missionary here in Italia.
The other day we were just outside of Comiso with this girl and her mom, and the sky, their garden...it was such a beautiful place. They are 7th Day Adventists, were interested in learning what we believe. I am constantly feeling happy here, in spite of the heat. We are talking with this woman Saida from Tunisia that is here with her daughter, she is so strong and it is amazing to see how people have overcome trials in their lives.
Unfortunately that's all the time I have for today, but hopefully next week I can let you know how our spanish class goes tonight.
Buona sera!
Sorella
