We are here!

We have arrived in Salerno! After leaving at 6pm eastern time from Atlanta on 5/18 and we got to Salerno after taking two planes and a 3 hour bus ride at 5pm the next day.  Salerno is 6 hours ahead so there was about 17 hours of total travel time!  All of our 11 bags got to Salerno okay along with all the students bags which is a total answer to prayer.  We did not have to pay any for extra bags because the 7 other men other than me on the summer project we came with totally served us by checking in one of the bags and being responsible for moving the bags to Salerno. We have been pretty much been settling in since then and do a lot of training with the summer team that the year long interns have been doing.  

We got to witness an outreach that one of the churches that partners with the ministry and the other Christian ministry on campus put on at the hotel the project stays in last night.  Students were not the main focus so there were not many english speakers there for our students for summer project to talk with.  I did get to meet Pastor Antonio who is the other pastor we will work with other than Pastor Dominico.  

Today was our first day on campus.  We got to do about 2 hours of prayer walking as well as learn about where everything is.  One of the things that we do not want neglect this summer is prayer.  We are calling God to act and preparing our hearts for ministry when we pray.  It is a necessary part of ministry.

We have some pictures that we will post at a later time.  We have currently misplaced our camera cord in all our bags!
