Venice and Carnival = fun for the whole family...until the sun goes down then its time for all good people to go home!

Facebook now has picture of both the Verona trip and the Venice trip from yesterday.

It was a lot of fun to don my mask on for a bit and walk around looking at everyone else who had a mask on (or a full on custom).

Just like a mime skit we're going to do, I wonder how many people used those masks to cover who they really are. Acting happy and joyful, bouncing around and posing for the cameras...eating up the pictures being taken but really they feel so lonely.

anyways, just a thought.

Minsitry week starts tomorrow. Training for mimes and other stuff, like chalk talks and stories to tell kids. Then we'll start handing out tracts tues-fri and performing and evangelizing. It'll be fun but also a bit intimidating.

But I have to keep reminding myself that my job is to give the good news and present the Gospel but the decision to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior is between the person and God, not my ability to persuade them.

Please pray as we gear up for this and other going ons happening here in Italy and at the school.
