Focolare

In an attempt to meet some locals and to get away from the obnoxious Americans and their obsession with alcohol, Sr. Raffaella gave me some contact information with a group of women who are part of Focolare. I don't know if y'all know what that is or not, but it is a group that was started in Italy to promote and live out unity and community. They are truly an amazing group of people striving to live holy lives in whatever God is calling them to do. So I met them this past week and went to mass at the Sagrada Familia with them. It was so cool to be inside that church! AMAZING!!!

Bea, one of the women in Focolare who took me to mass, gave my number to another girl Emma who's living in Barcelona but is originally from London. Emma's been in Barcelona for about 5 months now and knows the city fairly well so she's been showing me around. And she speaks Spanish, so she's offered to help me with my homework. :) And tomorrow is the World Cup game between England and USA. It will be an interesting game to watch together....
