It was such an honor to be in his presence. After the bible study we had a meeting at the U.S. embassy to the Holy Sea. It very insightful getting to talk to and learn what the everyday business of the embassy is. Finally to end the day we went to the Circus Maximus which is very impressive in size and it\u2019s just so cool to think about all the races and reenactments that went on there.<\/p>\n<p>Well obviously the Pope\u2019s bible study was all about religion. The bible study started with the Pope\u2019s entrance. On his way out of the building alone he blessed at least 20 people. The Pope the entered the Vatican square on his pope mobile which is actually a Mercedes Benz. He looped around the square with everyone that he got close to reaching out and screaming for him. The energy in the square was incredible, it was like we were at a concert. After his entrance the Pope sat in front of the St. Peter\u2019s Basilica and gave his speech after he did there were cardinals that translated it into multiple other languages.<\/p>\n<p>Again obviously the meeting at the U.S. embassy was all about international relations. We met with the economic advisor for the U.S. to Holy See embassy. She seemed to really love what she did and was very enthusiastic about everything she talked about with us. We got to ask whatever questions we had and by the end I felt like I could do her job we learned so much! One of the coolest things I think she got to do was sit in on a meeting between Pope Francis and President Obama, I was extremely jealous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday morning we got to attend the Pope\u2019s bible study!
