yesterday I met up with Giuseppe the guy that was an Italian Missions representative at Urbana 09. I had lunch with his family. it was quite pleasant. we had gnocchi, chicken, and salad. His wife is from Liverpool. She has a English accent and speaks Italian as well, but not with an english accent. This home was definitely unique with it's mixture of english and italian. the young girls spoke both languages, but of course Italian was their main language. We watched this really awesome movie called Summer Holiday. It's an old film from the 1960s. It's a brilliant film and i recommend it to anyone who likes musicals and traveling. e poiiiiiiiii, i went home to make pizza for a delighful pizza party, well i didn't make it...........but it was homemade...... mmmmmmmmmmm.
today, I went to Giuseppe's church, which is in a school. They just started the church last december and does not have too many goers. they said it really depends. the attendees are all new believers. this i think is cool, though when i came today, only one other person came so there was about 6 of us all together, which is counting the worship leaders, guiseppe and his wife, and the school janitor. the gathering/discussion was all in italiano and i understood about 40% of it. the other lady that was there was from sicilia and introduced herself exactly like this "Ciao, sono siciliana!" and it didn't register to me what she said so i just said "sono kristi" but she said she was sicilian, in case you didn't catch that either. Anyway. This could be interesting getting involved.
very interesting day it sounds like! glad you got to go to church and reconnect with people.

It's like a breath of fresh air. Did you get his info at Urbana? This is crazy. I love that that woman introduced herself as simply sicilian. Obviously that's all that matters, and all you really need to know. :) This, my dear, is an answer to prayer. But for what it's worth, I also feel like I should say that this is also not the only place God is moving in Milan and I'm gonna keep praying that God expands your experiences with Him there and praise Him for the fellowship w/ Guiseppe.
