26 days, 1197 pictures and 4 countries later...

Today we visited the Rome bethel. It's much smaller than the bethels in New York, with only 300 people. Their departments are cleaning, translating, cooking, laundry and buying. They recently closed down the printery department, which forced many brothers and sisters to relocate. We were able to eat lunch with the bethel family! We had pasta with pesto, grilled tuna and pineapple. 

After bethel we went to visit the catacombs. That was an experience like no other. They were 12 meters below the ground. When we were done, we walked the road the apostle Paul walked. 

We can't believe our trip is just about over. It's very bittersweet. We can't wait to see everybody back home, but on that note, who would ever want to leave Europe??? Definitely not us! We've had such an amazing trip. Thanks to everybody who helped get this trip together, and for reading our blog! Now we gotta get working to save for our next trip! 

Lots of love,
