http://peter-mcgraw.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Straniero in una terra straniera. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Me and some of the men. Some of the Ladies. In other news, I have a new student! And they would just look at me and I would then say, "How are you? Then their eyes would go wide and say, "You speak English? And finally, my parents were here this past week! It was very good to see them and spend some time with them, but I will have to post about that next time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Eric and Jessica Smith. Back in the swing of things.

Straniero in una terra straniera. Monday, August 15, 2011. There and Back Again: Road trip to Albania. God was really looking out for us that day and we were so thankful for his presence with us.

There was so much food! August 15, 2011 at 12:29 PM. Finalmente someone posts a picture from Ermenitas wedding!

http://angela-withrow.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Il Mio Viaggio In Italia. This is a record of the comings and goings of my trip to Italy. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Bologna, the city not the meat. The church in Bologna hosted a youth weekend, the same idea as the one I went to several months ago in Aprilia. The main speaker this time was Franco Verardi and he did a great job! The theme for the weekend was “Cosa vorresti fare per la chiesa? 8221; translation - "What would you like to do for the church? Anyway, here are some pictures from the weekend.

Straniero in una terra straniera: April 2011
http://peter-mcgraw.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Straniero in una terra straniera. Wednesday, April 6, 2011. I cannot believe that I have already been in Italy for 6 months now! By CS Lewis. We read the first chapter of that book and also the first chapter of Screwtape Letters. By CS Lewis and decided that for now we will read Mere Christianity. And occasionally read Screwtape Letters. We went from having 2 or 3 students to 8! It is incredible that we have so many people coming now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Eric and Jessica Smith. It's been a busy c...

away we go: i just wanna celebrate
http://avantistephens.blogspot.com/2012/09/i-just-wanna-celebrate.html
Sunday, September 9, 2012. I just wanna celebrate. Ryan baptizing paulo on our last sunday. Our last day at the nursing home. I've used so many words over the past 2 years to describe the events and experiences of our time in italy. Now words seem so feeble. so inadequate. The only words that come to mind are thank you. Whether you open your mouth or not. Thank you to our directors who lead with love and kindness every day and showed us family in a faraway place. I could write for 2 days and it wouldn't ...

away we go: just remember i love you
http://avantistephens.blogspot.com/2012/08/just-remember-i-love-you.html
Friday, August 31, 2012. Just remember i love you. So our last big fling was the national church retreat that happened at the harding villa in florence last wednesday to sunday. There were about 60-70 italian christians here for this annual retreat and it was such a great time of encouragement and building up of our faith. The beautiful thing and the thing that makes it even harder is how sad the italians are too. they love us unconditionally just. So basically after the emotional breakthrough, i walked ...

http://peter-mcgraw.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Straniero in una terra straniera. Friday, July 29, 2011. Summer Work and Blessings. Wow, sorry it has taken me so long to post, but we have been super busy! And this past month we have been remolding the kitchen! David has saved the school thousands of euros over the past few years by doing most of the repairs around here himself. We still have a few things left to do such as install a new light fixture, finish the electrical work, and then move in all the furniture. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

We also told out students that they could dress up if they wanted to and a few of them came through in style! Andre...
