Buongiorno! Good Morning!
Well, it’s been a little while since we’ve done an update. Sorry about that:) Since you heard from us last, we had a BEAUTIFUL weekend in Cinque Terre, Italy aka. The Five Lands.
The only way to accurately tell you about it is to show you pictures.
Observe…:)
We were excited to FINALLY be in Italy after an 8 hour train ride:)
Mediterranean Pizza in Levanto, Italy.
and Four Cheese pizza too!
The view of Monterosso (the first of five towns) from the train station!
Mary-Kate and Ashley about to embark on a great adventure:)

Ready for action:)
Best meal of the trip.
Hands Down:)
The view in Levanto while we were writing in our journals. God is so great.
As you can see, we had a pretty fabulous weekend!
Now to tell you about this week. We have a pretty full schedule! Such a blessing, but it can be sooooooo exhausting. It’s really cool because we’re learning to rely on God for literally everything. It’s a lesson that I should have learned a long time ago. But hey, better late than never:)
Let me tell you a little bit about what we do with our readers. We have them schedule a 45 minute time slot for Monday-Thursday anywhere from about 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. So they come to the house (we live on the 3rd floor and we meet in the basement) and then we use our Luke workbooks to read selected stories and talk about word definitions, context clues, comprehension and of course we try to get to some spiritual topics as well. It’s a pretty good combination of everything!
So that’s a little bit of what we do during the week.
Tonight we are having our 2nd party and it is Picnic themed! We are having everyone bring their own own sandwiches and we are providing sides, drinks and dessert. Oh and don’t forget the entertainment:) We are going to have a balloon toss and a word game! We are excited for the turn out! Please pray that lots of readers come and have a great time!
Thanks for all the encouragement and please keep it coming!
Before I go, a quick prayer request! Our friends from OC (Shawn, Lane and Amy) are traveling to Lausanne on Thursday to stay with us and then we are all heading to Paris to meet up with our friends from Harding and to see the city!! Please pray for all of us to travel safely and have a great time!
Love you all!
Thanks for the update! Always praying for you! So glad to know that God is holding you in His hand. Much love, Moms
Phenomenal pictures, Madison! It’s gorgeous there. Looks like y’all are having a great time.
Keeping you and your friends in my prayers.
AAAAAHHHH! I’m so Excited for you guys!!! and when you see Shawn, Lane and Amy, you must all give each other a hug for me! (that way you will all get like 5 hugs!!!! How AWESOME IS THAT!!! Love you Both!!!

As if Italy wasn’t enough! Ah, Paris in the Springtime. You guys are doing a great job of wearing yourself out. Keep thinking: I can sleep when I get home. I do believe that you are the most joyous and enthusiastic ambassadors of Christ I have ever known. My prayers are with you.
