The sites here are just to historical and fascinating to pass by. We will be visiting the Vatican, the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Catacombs and more. am looking forward to a wonderful week, not only of ministry, but of education as well. I am taking lots of pictures for you while I am here…and every day this week I will post some of them along with my daily devotions. I hope you enjoy it!

Blessings!
Daniel
