Battaglia, Campania, Italy

The smell of salt water, a slight ocean breeze, and the beautiful view of the Amalfi coast. 

That's what we where able to experience as we ate a Napolitano pizza on the deck of a gentleman's apartment right on the coast in Salerno. As we talked about his beliefs, I couldn't help but reflect on how much I love this country and the people here. 

These past couple of weeks have been full of the normal missionary experiences. With homeless people screaming in Russian, multiple Moped accidents, along with the daily miracles of being in the right place at the right time. This week I've had the oppurtunity to do a scambio with another greenie in Castellemare. His name was also Anziano Anderson, the only difference was the "o". Now, it is important that you know Anziano Anderson is a very big, both in length and muscle. He may not seem like a strong kid at first, but trust me, he has got some power behind him! I realized this as he was completing in the "Pellone's challenge", which is to eat 3 Margherita pizza's. Now for those who have not had the divine oppurtunity to eat a Pellone pizza or even see one, let me tell ya, they are big juicy pizza's. The crazy thing about it is, is he ate them in 15 minutes! It was a sight to see. Anyway, as we introduced ourselves on the streets it was quite humorous to watch the look on people's faces as they thought we were somehow related. It was a fun  day.

Well, recently I have been studying the topic of grace, and have enjoyed it quite a bit. We learn in Titus and plenty of other scriptures that it is through the Christ's grace that we are saved. It is that literal power that helps us work towards erernal salvation, which is our end goal. As talked about in Hebrews 12 it helps us continue to serve God, and in other words His children. I am thankful for His grace and the oppurtunity I have to experience it, obtain it, and use it when the time is right. 

Anyways thanks for all your love and support! Hope everyone has a good week!
