I am going to my first foreign language assembly tomorrow-in Italian. I don't know all that much Italian yet so it should be interesting. I am also driving into Brooklyn for the first time ever. Sc...
So you went to visit my old stomping ground... how was it? My dad was at the assembly, he brought my Grandfather there. Several years ago I dragged Jahanna, Tina and Kim to the Italian assembly. Wh...
I am sicilian. I have been trying to learn so that I can talk to my Nonna and Nonno. Plus, I am "getting to know" someone in the circuit. I got my first Italian Bible and got pretty good at looking...
The best is commenting for the first time. It's so nerve racking. Whenever I've been to an Italian meeting, I always like to read a scripture as my comment because you don't have to figure out the ...
I can't even imagine commenting at this point. I will definitely go to a meeting though. I had so much fun yesterday. The weirdest thing was seeing friends from back home in PA who now live in H...
Commenting gets easier down the road... its the real spontaneous answers that get me, unless I have it written down what I want to say, my Italian would come out a grammatical mess.... What is t...
Yeah, he and his wife are expecting in October. It was so weird to see him. The last time I saw him he was probably a teenager and I was maybe 10 years old. We had an assembly part together.
Yeah, the congregation is Florham Park. I couldn't remember the name.
Maybe I'll try visiting Ridgefield. I use my new Italian Bible with my American one now. I can't believe how much I learned from just one day at the assembly. I am feeling very motivated. I love it.
Thats so funny, Jared and Talitha stayed in my basement this past weekend for the assembly. Talitha's parents and my parents are best friends, our families would go away almost every summer... She is like one of my older sisters... Im guessing since you havent seen him in such a long time, you werent at their wedding?
I should get a new Italian Bible and song book. My old song book has drawings all over the back page where everyone is singing (some people here have done the same thing!)...
No, I wasn't at their wedding. Actually, I didn't realize Jared was married until last year. My friend Sabrina used to go to Florham Park, but moved down to NJ when she got married. She saw him at some gathering and she mentioned me, where I was from and he told her that his family was close to my mine when they lived in PA.
WOW... what a small world
