So this is one of the last posts I will make from Italy this trip. It is our last full day in Bologna. It is a very weird feeling, because this has been my home for 5 weeks, it is weird to leave. I feel like I just got here. But as always, time flies when you are having fun. Also, I have been changed for the better (yes I did just quote Wicked), but it is true. I have found courage in my evangelism and in being able to share the gospel. We had lunch with Filippo yesterday and Giorgio today. My friendship with them will go on long after I leave this place. Along with my friendship, I will continue to share the gospel with them. Because, even though they are not believers, they have come a long way from not believing in any God to maybe, in fact, there is one, and he is unfathomable and personal and a million other adjectives that you could use to describe him, all in one. God is working in their lives, and that "knock" that I have referred to multiple times before is getting louder and louder, it is just a matter of time before they hear it. Psalm 139:12 states that to God, "even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for the darkness is as light to you." No matter how hard someone tries to deny God or hide from God, he is ALWAYS there. I just hope and pray that Giorgio and Filippo will come to realize that God loves them and is the only thing that could ever give their life that meaning that every person longs for. Pray for them. Pray, pray, pray. God is Great! God Bless, Ciao!
