We had a good overnight trip to Verona. There was lots of traffic on the way there and on the way back, but that was worth it to continue the quest to Verona. Angie and I arrived and explored some parts of the city and county of Verona that we hadn't seen before. The interns had taken the train from Rome and met us that night. On the train they had met a guy, Giuseppe, serving in the Italian military in nearby Trento (about forty minutes via car). He came into Verona today with a friend and they hung out with us as we explored Verona and then we went to lunch together. They even picked up the tab to show their friendship. Giuseppe's friend, Pasquale, has a strong desire to learn English and we talked about the English lessons/conversation will be offering once we arrive in Verona. He is excited. We exchanged cell phone numbers with Giuseppe and Pasquale to keep in touch. Then we took the interns to one of the area malls and we explored it and had dinner. While shopping, Lucia, was met by one of the interns and she was told about what we would be doing once we moved to Verona next year. Lucia speaks some English and was excited to learn how to converse even better in English.
God really led us around as we went into and through the city. My excitement is growing for the future and I can't wait to see what God is going to do in Verona. One day, we pray for a strong group of believers leading and reaching out to their peers in that beautiful city in northern Italy. And we also hope that through their willingness and giving that more churches would come from this one in the North.
