Long Awaited Update...

Sorry for the long delay in updates. About a week and a half ago, I (Emily) got pretty sick. We aren’t sure what caused it. My only guess is suppressed culture shock. Because of this, we missed a day of language school. Then, last week, we had a week off of school. As you can see from the post below, we took this opportunity to visit the island of Ischia. Then on Friday, we had a visitor from the states. We walked around our neighborhood (Vomero) and told him what we’ve learned so far about everyday life here.
Tomorrow we will resume language school. We will first be required to take a test to show our level of comprehension of the language so far. This level will determine which class we will be in for the next four weeks. Please pray that we will be able to recall what we’ve learned so far.
Thank you all for your continued support through encouragement and prayer. We appreciate all that you have done and are doing. Please pray that we will have the boldness required to start new relationships and the discernment to know where God is leading.
