Team Retreatment and Italian Cooking!











well the mountains in Italy sure are nice! We had a great time at our team retreat in the mountains this past weekend. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. The house was great and had hot water. So I was happy! Every meal we had was made there and from scratch. It was so good, except I almost died from eating too much. That part was almost miserable. It was good to be together with the team though. I took a ton of pictures.
Language school is going good. I'm picking up some of the language; I just need to practice more. I'm getting some good practice in though. Yesterday I went to buy a sim card for my cell phone and today I went to the Apple store to buy a new charger for my computer. Mine blew up. Good stuff....NOT. But at least I managed to do those two things on my own and in Italian and got what I needed. I'm pleased with that.
Yesterday was a good day for cooking. Maria and Ana (Peppe's sisters) showed us how to make pizza at home. Or at least Maria did the cooking and Ana just talked about it. Those pizzas are amazing. I love them and need to cook them at my house everyday. We did that for lunch. I ate way too many!!!! but then last night we went to Peppe's so Antonio could give a lesson on cooking gnocchi. And again I ate entirely too much. It tastes so good but it makes me miserable. I have issues with eating this much food. Today I took the stairs everywhere. :)
I love living in Napoli. I get excited walking around the University "area". I'm ready to start meeting people and building relationships.
We have a team from a church in Louisiana coming here tomorrow to work with us for a week. We'll be busy with that next week, but I'm excited.
Come back next week for more!!!!
