On Monday we received our official invitation to Candidate Orientation which we accepted.  We are going to Monument, CO on October 29 for CO. 

Then on Wednesday, I spoke with Peppo Biscarini, the GEM Leader for Italy, after discussing our assignment to the Rapid Response Team and our calling to serve in Italy, Peppo confirmed that we would be based in Rome. 

We have begun our on-line training for orientation and things are moving along very fast now.  So keep us in your prayers.
