We got back at 11 o’clock last night, and all three of us are happy to be back in our home. It was a good week for getting to know what ECM wants to do, and to have some input in how it goes about it, and for Pinuccia to get to know better this mission that she “inherited”, although she was of course a bit limited with Stefania having to sleep in the afternoon - and her pregnancy means that Pinuccia often had to as well. Pinuccia had lots of English practice as well. She even dreamt she was speaking in English last night, and when she was speaking in French to some missionaries from there, she couldn’t remember some simple words because the English equivalent kept coming to mind.

Stefania enjoyed herself, and as usual stayed with anybody who wanted to hold her or play with her, which gave us some breaks. I could see over the week that she became a lot better at feeding herself (getting the spoon from the plate to the mouth without spilling anything); hopefully she won’t forget that now at home. She took the change in the diet in her stride as well. In fact, her Anglo-Saxon genes got a chance to show themselves, as she really loved the baked beans which are unfindable in Italy.
