We had another experience after dancing at the woman's luncheon where a lady came up an told us that she is not a Christian but after seeing us dance and seeing our expression now she wants to be. For the first time she said she cried for joy instead of sadness. Another lady today came up and spoke with Pedro telling how hearing one of our testimonies truly ministered to her and helped her because she was currently going through a rough time after losing her 15 year old son. For the first time she felt as though there was hope for her to get out of the state of depression she is in. God is truly working in these people and the girls are loving that they get to talk with their audience and hear how God is using them as vessels. Julie and I feel like proud Momma's.
Christine says that one her favorite parts of the trip was going up to the cave where back when the Protestants were being persecuted its where they would have service. Going inside of the cave was awesome, cold and wet. It's hard to imaging that the people would hike so far, especially in the winter time so that they could go to church and we can complain about just having drive 30minutes. She was also very touched by the lady who came up to her and talked after the luncheon who now wants to be a Christian after seeing us. Two years ago Christine told her mom she wanted to dance in Italy and here she is, doing exactly that and loving every minute of it.
For the collegiate's, this is our last night here in Italy before we head back to Belgium. Everyone is pretty sad to be leaving, but most of us feel very strongly that we will be back!
