this past weekend, about 40 women throughout all the churches of christ in italy convened in velletri italy for a retreat. the theme was the beatitudes and we had a really great time! we played games, sang, had small group sessions on each beatitude, met a lot of great women, and came home encouraged.
(i didn't have a camera because ryan took it on his "men's weekend", so these are some of angela's pictures that we didn't take until right when we were about to leave, sadly.)

emily being herself
VIRGINIA! our favorite roman nineteen year-old
florence women!
friends from catania: cinzia and concetta
chit chat with rosa (she's from aprilia)
climbing trees and sliding on slides with roxana (she's from romania but lives in italy now with her husband and daughter, they go to the church in ancona, she is so much fun!)
we had a ball and learned a lot. i'm so glad we got to be a part of this and i'm already looking forward to next years retreat or just the next time i get to see all of my new friends. i'm so blessed!
