We ended up with some meetings in Europe that our boys were invited to attend! When we said goodbye at Christmas, we didn't know when we'd see each other again (those are the hardest goodbyes!), so we were so incredibly thankful to see these young men again.
After our meetings, we flew to Rome ($34 tickets!) to meet up with my parents & Claire's parents (Claire's our teammate, & her parents are close friends & ministry partners) because our home church was doing a church launch in Rome with a Filipino congregation. So blessed to be able to be a part of it!
After the church launch, we spent a couple of days touring Rome together and had a wonderful time!
The Coliseum with a friend of Mikayla's
One of the cells where Paul was imprisoned.
The Roman Forum
The Spanish Steps
The Vatican - a highlight was a tour under the vatican in the catacombs, but no pics allowed there.
A train then ferry to Sorrento on the Amalfi coast - gorgeous!
Then a stop at Pompeii on the way back to Rome - exhausting day but wow.
We stayed in an airbnb together (fun but also cheaper :) ) and of course ate a ton of amazing food and enjoyed laughing over so many new experiences together - the 5 of us even rode scooters around Rome together! Can't say enough how thankful we are for this unexpected opportunity!
