Today I received a letter in the mail that was a family friend and supporter that was very encouraging! It's nice to receive snail mail when I am in Italy, it's different receiving an actual letter or card instead of an email, though I very much appreciate emails too. I have very much enjoyed the letters and cards I have received, thank you to those who have sent them.

Thank you also for the encouraging phone calls, emails, facebook messages, etc. if you have sent them. They mean so much to me and help me to keep moving forward.
