Combined Youth Group meeting
On Saturday night we had a combined youth group night with the group at Merano, which is an hour’s drive north-west of here. The other leader of our group got the flu this week, and Stefania has had a fever for a few days, so Pinuccia had to stay at home and it was left to me to take our group there. The group at Merano is different to ours, with youth being a couple of years older, and with half (of the eight in their group) from church families and half from non church families, but despite that our group seemed to fit in well and get to know some other people. With the isolation of the evangelicals around here, any contact with the wider reality of the church is a good thing. We hope to have further combined meetings in the past.
Pinuccia goes to the appropriate government office tomorrow, so her work or non work situation should be clearer then. Then I will be going to Spain on Tuesday for four days for an ECM leaders’ meeting, representing the Italian field. So there should be a message soon on this blog from Madrid. Pray for Pinuccia and Stefania at home, that Pinuccia doesn’t have any problem getting things done by her herself (she is getting more tired and less able to lift objects (like Stefania!) as the pregnancy goes on), especially as Stefania is sick at the moment, and Pinuccia has just started to get some cold symptoms as well.
