You may have noticed that the site (and hence also this blog) have been down for more than a week. This was because the site exceeded its bandwidth limit for the month, which was Google’s fault for spidering more than 15Gb of content in 22 days (although it is true that there is a lot of content on the site for a search engine to index). I have now banned Google from entering some parts of my site, so hopefully it won’t happen again.

In the meantime, Stefania has got her first childhood disease, with red spots breaking out all over her body yesterday evening. The doctor said it is similar to roseola - the hand, feet and mouth syndrome to be precise - but it is not as serious. Stefania anyway seems to have a very mild case of it; there should have been a fever, loss of appetite and other symptoms before the spots, but instead she is just as well and happy as always.

There is one urgent prayer point for this week. An English donor of the mission gave some money for radio work in Italy. So another missionary (who works with radio) has produced a series of 30 second advertisements, which will be aired on some commercial stations in all of our region and in Lombardy (the region around Milan, where the other missionary works). They will offer various books, CDs and DVDs, many with an Easter theme. Here, there will be seven ads every day (four from 8 to 12am and three from 5 to 8pm) on the principal regional radio station. Pray for those who will be listening, that they will be interested in getting further information on the themes the ads talk about.
