They say home is where the heart is, but in that case I guess I am not home because I left my heart back in Bologna!! I have to say it is really weird being back in the States. Although it was nice sleeping in my comfy bed with multiple pillows and doing seven loads of laundry in one day (yay for dryers!!), I can honestly say I would give up all the conveniences of the States to be back serving in Italy. The only thing that kept me from totally breaking down our last night in Italy was knowing that I will have eternity to share with everyone I have come to love so deeply.
Serving in Italy was really a life changing experience for me. Bethel was six years ago, and Mexico was three years ago, but I don't want to wait three more years before my next adventure in Jehovah's service. This experience really showed me how much Jehovah blesses our efforts and what a beautiful organization He has for us here on earth. I want to write more about all of my experiences in Bologna so stay tuned for those!
