more rain...

today brings piles of more rain- the forecast is 2 inches for today! so i am spending the day at the school and should hopefully complete the many assignments i have to do by tuesday. siena feels like 'home' now and it is so nice. when i walk down the streets i feel like i have a slight ownership of the city and love to see familiar shops and faces when i am journeying around. our group of 24 has grown close and they all feel like sisters. we even have a mom in the group! her name is erin and she has taken the role of 'mother' to us all, counting us constantly when we are in groups traveling to various destinations and planning our family home evening nights. tonight i am planning to go to the church building to help enter in names to the geneology data base. apparently our little branch has over 600,000 italian names on paper documents that need to be typed into the computer, needless to say they need some extra help! i think it is a great activity for today, seeing as how doing anything outside in this weather wouldn't be very enjoyable! sorry this entry doesn't bring much excitement-life here is going on wonderfully :)
