No post for a month! What gives?

Hey everyone!

Well, sorry for not updating more often. We have had very little time the past few weeks to even breathe!

They call this orientation "boot camp" for a reason! We have been under deadlines, reading books, giving presentations, etc. Almost every day from 8am to 5pm we are in lectures on various topics. It has been hard work and some fun too...

It snowed around 10 inches about 2 weeks ago. It's the first time we have ever seen anything like it. Some good friends (David and Cameron) had some sleds, so we were able to go sledding down some hills and have snowball fights throughout the week. The snow hung around for over a week!

We have a little over a week left at orientation. We are excited to get home to see all of our family and friends...even if we will be leaving for Italy within a few weeks.

At this time we still do not have the visas. So, please pray that the doors that need to be opened, will be. We miss you all!
