Gotta love the Elliotts!!! :)

A couple weeks ago, after our Friday morning Bible study, Kanda and I went around Rome with the Elliott family (Kip & Tammy and their four kids). It was such a fun day! Being with children and families is something that I LOVE, and I know that I just come alive in a special way when I am around kids. As I have moved to Rome to serve Christ here in campus ministry, I really enjoy working with college students. However, kids definitely have a special place in my heart, so how SWEET of the Lord to provide me with such great kids to hang out with while I live in Rome!

Here are some photos from our adventures! :)
