About time I updated my blog!

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay, I have been working a lot in my projects.

So I have been working in my mosaics. I finished one already and now I am almost done with the second one. The second one is already sold! The owner of a gelato place I frequent is buying it, and he told me to give him bussiness cards. So we'll see how that goes!

 

 This mosaic is made with marble, a technique that is rarely used, because of how expensive it is. I have had the blessing of working with such a fine material. The next one I'm making has glass and marble. The glass is made in Venice! I am having a lot of fun in this class.

Next is my stone sculpture class. It is going very well too. my design has changed with time, but it is getting slowly were I want it to. Here are some pictures.

As you guys may know I am a tour guide at the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, and that has brought a lot of good moments with tourists. The internship is going very well, and I feel pretty confident with my knowledge about the cathedral. I am still doing more research about it, and it has been fun listening to people's stories. Here's a picture of the Cathedral at night.

Allison is coming tonight, and tomorrow we are going to do a day trip to Venice and see some of the cite's there, should be fun!
Today I was amazed once again at the fact that if you look at prices, groceries can be a lot cheaper. I was looking for some bread to make sandwiches for tomorrow, but the budget for bread was 80 cents. I looked and the lowest price was 95 cents. But that was on the side where all of the sliced bread is. When I looked at the fresh bread they make everyday at the grocery store, it was 71 cents, yay for bread. Money is tight right now so every cent I can save, is good. God has provided a lot for me to be able to come here, and I know he will keep providing the rest of the time.

So I would like to add some prayer requests:
-That God would provide for the rest of the time, and going back to the US.
-For my friends here, that they might keep growing in faith
-For my church, that it may keep growing, not just in numbers but also spiritually
-For my roommate, he wasn't feeling well in the past few days.
-For the people at the market, that I may be able to reach out to them too.

Well i'll try to keep the posts coming as the weeks come along, thank you for reading.
