Vicenza

We began our journey in Vicenza, a city that continues to be near and dear to our hearts.  On Saturday, we spent the day in Venice with the Hughes family, a military family whom we met in 2009 when our journeys coincided in Vicenza. They were a great support and encouragement to us during then and now. We also were able to see Jeremy and Rebecca Korodaj, a missionary couple in Padova.  They are in year 5 of a 10+ year commitment to the work in Italy. It was good to meet over a meal and get an update and offer encouragement.  We spent Sunday worshipping with the chiesa di Cristo (church of Christ) in Vicenza.  Titus preached; and after services, we had a grand fellowship meal together that lasted all day!    On Monday, we saw the Nichele family at the Artemaglia factory where Titus worked part-time in 2009.  We were also able to visit several contacts we had made during our year in Vicenza.  We had lunch with Kaewyn’s midwife’s family.  Kaewyn was so excited to get to see her again!  She likes being the one that was born in Italy!  Laura and her family were a delight and we enjoyed our time together.  We invited her son, Davide, to Bible Camp and he accepted the invitation! For dinner, we enjoyed our time with a young couple, Giovanni and Giovanna and their two little girls, Laura and Miriam.
