Hey Everyone,

I’m so excited to write you today! We had our choir performance yesterday and it was AMAZING!!!! We weren’t sure how the turn out would be, but the guess was around 500 people!! Praise the Lord!!!

We arrived at the venue and we all were in awe because it was gorgeous!!! Vicenso is quite accomplished in music. He even plays in an orchestra here in Italy! He not only plays the piano, but violin, guitar, drums….and I don’t know what else. Anyways, knowing him, he probably set it all up for us to be able to go to this venue.

Everyone was in black and white and anxious to perform. By the way, we also perform next weekend too! Pray for us if you think about it. So! Praise report…last time they did this choir outreach about 4 years ago, people left after the first song, but this time they gave us an encore! The ground is getting a little softer.

We probably sang 10 songs total as a choir, I sang 2 with Maria (the director’s wife) that she wrote, and then I sang amazing grace solo. It was a great performance. I was so nervous to sing my solo because there were so many people, but I totally had peace once I was up there, I’m sure because we prayed.

Afterwards we served desserts and hung out. So many people came up to me after and rambled off in Italian. Haha. I didn’t really what they were saying, but that’s ok. Once in while I had a translator and its was so nice to know that people actually enjoyed the concert. So, that’s pretty much it. It was a great night! I’ll let you know how the next one goes too.

Oh, really random side note. Brandon and Matt, here at the school, came over Friday night and made all of us girls’ dinner! It was so nice. I think they were trying to get some brownie points haha. Just kidding. They made us an amazing chef salad, cheesy pasta, cheese bread, and fruit bowls. They didn’t even stay to eat! We ended the night with a movie after the guys went to go eat their dinner.

Tomorrow is a busy day…two ladies from the church are coming over to teach us how to make pasta at 9 am. They said it takes 8 hrs, but I’m not sure. They might have exaggerated. Haha.

Then, Tuesday another lady from the church is making us dinner. It’s such a blessing because we all are trying to save as much money as we can and get by on as little money as we can. So its such a blessing because the Lord is totally providing for all of us.

Anyways, I better get going, but I just wanted to give ya’ll a quick update. Thank you so much for all your prayers!
