May 7th
We (Willie and Melissa Saulnier)arrived at the Rome
airport 11:58am and took the train shuttle to a central
location called Termini. This is where all trains and
metro A and B meet . The metro trains take you all over
the city. Other trains will take you all the way to the
northern or southern most point of Italy.
At first we were overwhelmed at the traffic and hustle.
When people tell you it is difficult to drive in Italy, they
aren't kidding. My husband who is a professional driver
did not want to venture out renting a car. That was a first
for us!












The first evening we found that hotels near the Termini
were booked, however we found one place that had one
room left. It just happened to be the rooftop room! It was
eccentric and beautiful with a slight third world feel to it.
So hard to explain. There was marble everywhere and a
huge bathroom, however the lights kept going out and
the roof was strung with electrical cords.(hence the third
world fell)
May 8th
I woke fairly early considering the time difference. I had
a moment to ask God for our safety and success as we
all ministered in a new and unfamiliar place. The birds
were singing around 4:30am and I recorded their
morning song from a rooftop in Rome. How cool is that! I
am amazed at God's creation. I am also amazed at the
creative culture in Rome. It is forgotten by the locals.
Everyone in Italy is surrounded by the grandeur of old
buildings and ruins from the Roman days, however there
is a distinct feeling that the new culture has no hope or
initiative to take advantage of their heritage. Very sad.
Willie and I began our search for the apartment Bob
Kilpatrick had  pre-rented for our team. Our first search
took us to the wrong part of Rome! We sat in a coffee
shop and regrouped, took a train back to Termini and
started over! Our feet were tired and we were aching
from dragging our luggage around. (Something Bob had
warned us about!) This time we spelled the name of our
street correctly for a cab driver. We were driven straight
to our apartment which is so amazing when you consider
how many narrow winding streets there are with
thousands of tiny cars going very fast mindless of road
rules!












We found our room and had some much needed time to
relax before the rest of the team arrived. That was
GREAT!
