girls weekend in roma....

hello everyone!!


Last weekend I headed to rome to visit my dear friend susan. She and I were bunkmates last summer in Mississippi! She is from Maryland and goes to college in New York city. She is in italy learning the language and helping Campus Crusade plant churches. I was so excited to visit her.

We are basically loving eachother. it was the first time i had seen her since last summer. YIPPEE!!!


plus her boyfriend came last week to visit and he proposed when they went to vience!! ahhh, i was the first person that she told (well from project at less!) I was like screaming in the train station!!! haha

On saturday we walked around the spanish steps, talked and ate GELATO!! then we caught up in a gorgeous park and then headed for some authentic italien pizza! yum! dont worry we ate more gelato after that!! haha (ITS UNBELIEVABLE!)

sunday we headed to the beach, it was about 30 minutes outside the city, but it was soo goregous and soo hott (for being april!) we were reading and talking and enjoying the beauty of Gods love in europa! :) After a long day at the beach (i got sunburned on the back of my legs, i always forget to sunscreen them!) we headed back to the city for some really great Italien pasta and tiramisu!! we were stuffed and it was soo good!

Monday we headed out early for some fun shopping and of course more gelato! I left around noon and headed back to Deutschland... but it was such a fun and relaxing weekend to spend with a great friend. It was nice just to hangout and chat, because since her boyfriend, i mean finance had just left (on wednesday) she was feeling a bit sad (i know the feeling exactly) so it was great to spend quality time together!



tonite is JESUS House! I am sooo excited for it. its this huge conference that is being broadcasted all throughout europe (like 500 venues!) and its happening right here in hamburg. There will be a huge worship service, a talk and then an alter call. I am going to be a consler for when students give their life to chirst to be able to talk with them, or if they just need to talk about things i will be ther (auf englisch) haha i hope to have someone to talk with, but if not i can def be praying for the other conversations that everyone will be having (auf deutsch) haha. i am so excited to see how god is moving in europe. europe is really spritually dead, yah alot of it is of a catholic background, but they dont live for christ, they only do what the chruch has said. or many of the people are sick of what the chruch has done and they want nothing more... its really hard to see people like that. I am way excited because my one flatmate, kathrin and her boyfriend jens, will come on saturday! She proclaims to be an athiest but we have had some really amazing conversations and i cant wait to see god move in her life. Be praying for her and my other flatmate, as she is wrestling with her own faith now. god has been on the move lately and its so great to witness it. its been really awesome how god has shown me this semester that he does not only lie in the four walls of a church, he is everywhere and apart of everyone. wow. so cool.

ok ciao bella!!
