Almost Done in Italy

My time in Italy is coming to an end! We head to Greece on Wednesday to meet back up with all the other Ten2 teams for a week of debrief. I’m so sad to see this summer coming to an end but I know it’s time to head back. It’s not been exactly the summer that I expected it to be but it has been better in many ways than I could’ve planned. Being able to see how to live on mission in the day to day life is something that is such a practical thing to take and apply to life back in the states. There were some tough days and stretching moments but I am so grateful I was able to be a part of God’s kingdom growing in Italy! A verse that has continually been a part of this trip both before I left and while I’ve been gone via training sessions, personal devos, sermons, and conversations with our missionaries has been“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬
