What Are You Going to do?

Me, Marta, and Brittany--all the girl students here!
Me and Laura, my really good friend and also one of the interns
Chuckin

What are you going to do?... when you get locked out of the house because the door is a little tricky?
What are you going to do?... when your roommate moans every 5 seconds at night
What are you going to do?... when mosquito’s attack you every night, but especially last night and buzzing around your ear
What are you going to do?...when, the night before the first day of classes, you can’t sleep because of the two above reasons till 1:30 am?

What are you going to do? lol

Ciao! It’s true though, I love Italy so much! Everyday I love it more! The day I got here…and till now I keep thinking how much I don’t want to leave!

So today was the first day of school. Yay! I had Revelation, and 1 & 2 Samuel. The other classes I have are… Mark, Acts, 1,2,3 John and outreach Italian (a class which teaches us the Italian language, culture, and outreaches).
I really enjoyed my classes today. The homework is definitely going to pick up with 22 credits.

Another thing that Brian asked us all to pray about was our missions week!
I would be so grateful for y’all to keep these in prayer with me too. These are the 4 places to pray about!


*Norway!!- Brian, our director, has connections with a bible school in Norway. Missionaries usually drop their children off their, also just random kids. There is an AWESOME opportunity to love on these kids and hopefully plant a seed that might plant a desire to want to come to Bible college in Italy…get built up…and go out as a missionary! This is the one that I’m drawn to the most! It’s also probably the most expensive:/

*Island of Sicily- the people there have been praying and asking for a Calvary chapel. This would be an encouragement to the people to just come and also a lot of prayer would take place. Awesome opportunity!

*Rome
*Podova

I’m not sure what the opportunities are in Rome and Podova, but these would also be amazing. The only thing is that we’re probably already going to be going to these two for field trips.

So! That’s something to pray about…

Today I discovered my favorite cereal! Nugget pillows! Nutella filled, wheat squares! Amazingness!
I also went grocery shopping for the first time, for myself, in my life, in a different country!!! It’s weird, here in Italy, you have to pay for your grocery bag and at restaurants, there are no tips, but a fee if you choose to sit down and eat.
Marta, my new, local, Italian, roommate, went with me. She was a great help. She is the sweetest girl and loves the Lord. Her mom is Christian and her dad is catholic. I don’t know if she has siblings.
She told me tips and what foods are her favorite. Her English is really good. All the students get about 25 Euros a week that is included in the tuition so I bought a bunch of food with about 10 Euros left, which is about 16ish dollars in the USA.
I had a lot of fun! I bought a big package of chicken and cooked it all up for the whole week.

Also! I’m going to be doing devotions on the 19th! And I will be switching off playing worship with one of the guys here every other day. Thank you Jesus for using me!

Anyways, that’s all I can think of right now…here are the new prayer requests.

provision for speakers week to Austria, a missions trip, and field trips
Dedication to learning Italian
Diligence with homework
Humbleness and a gentle spirit
Boldness to share on the 19th
Unconditional love for my roommates
Laura-an Italian lady we met on the streets. She went to Berkley college and speaks great English
Direction for my life on the mission field…whether here, Utah, or wherever He wants me.

Thank you SO much for your prayers! I love you all!

Agape,
Bethany
