So, first of all, I would like to state that this is being composed on an iPad, so you must forgive any typos.
Now, we get down to business! This week I have been to London, Paris, and I am currently residing in Florence, Italy. Tomorrow I am heading to Rome.
I was definitely impressed with London and Paris, but today Florence stole the show. The people, the culture, the language, the FOOD. There is this great easy going atmosphere in Florence. I also love how the people really love their city, and that really shows when you converse with them.
It is bothersome to see the church seemingly not present in the places that I have been to. I have seen beautiful cathedrals, but no action or even sense of the presence of Christians. Paris and Florence are deeply entrenched in catholic culture, but definitely not in a holy way. It's sad to see such apathy towards Christ, which definitely shows that there is a need for missions there.
On a lighter note, I have decided to get a soccer jersey from every place I visit. So far I have one for Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Florantina. Tomorrow I hope to get a Roma Jersey.
That is all for now, good bye.

Well, what an adventure. I have been to Florence and Rome along with Pisa. We've traveled many of the European countries living in Eastern Europe, but Italy is one of my favorites. Have fun.
