Aloha,
Today was a day of reflection as we prepared for our friends to arrive. While waiting at the hotel we witnessed a Communist parade and had to hold Jerry back from letting them know how we all felt. That Jerry, we just love him!
It has been so wonderful getting to see Rome at night with Jerry and Janice and getting to know them better. To see the love and high regard that these two people have for each other and the Lord has been inspirational. I strong recommend to any of you that had not gotten to know them better to make the time and see what love looks like. The love of the Lord that Jerry expresses to everyone he meets and his wife Janice is better than watching any romantic movie. What a great location to have your hopes restored and see the true example of what the Lord speaks of in his word about love. For those of you that may not know I am getting a degree in Biblical Marriage and Family Counseling and this trip is being used for some of the bible credits. As I return home to complete my study I praise the Lord for providing me such great experiences on this trip that I will be able to draw from to help others and myself in showing the love of Christ to others.
Evelyn and I had a late start today as the night before we spend most of the night just talking, laughing and having great girl time. This had been such a great time for both Evelyn and myself as we reflected on how blessed we were to have Christ meet us where we are.
Tonight we had dinner with the Jason, Cassie, Toni, Jim, Cheryl, Jerry and Janice. Off to the Trevi fountain early via the metro for a great dinner and gelato before bed as we prepare to start out early tomorrow as the balance of the group will arrive and start our group tours and get the pleasure of Randy’s teachings.
In His Love and Service
Lydia, Evelyn, Jerry ,Janice, Jason, Cassie, Toni, Jim and Cheryl

And YES! Jerry and Janis are such wonderful loving couples! They are truly an example to follow - they are so serving of others, so loving of others and they do that with each other too.
OH HOW I WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU ALL...PLEASE SAY HI TO EVERYONE FOR ME AND I EXPECT YOU ALL TO COME BACK WITH AT LEAST ONE NEW ITALIAN PHRASE OR WORD YOU HAVE LEARNED SO WE CAN CHAT!
CIAO BELLA, Y BONNA NOTE!

Great blogging Lydia.
You really put your feelings into what you saw & felt in the cathedrals. yes, Jerry & Janis are an amazing couple to get to know, they have become part of me :) They have taught me and guided me through many years. You are in good couple company with the Dahls, Toni & Jason and Cheryl & Jim. Are the Bagby's and Smith's there? They will be added couple power. Great for your counseling experience. Enjoy and hugs to all :)
Aloha, Janet
