After the usual activities in the past few days (Thursday a rare free night, Friday band practice, Saturday afternoon with the teenagers), today (Sunday) was different and busy. We had Compassion, an organisation that runs adoption at a distance and through which the church members have adopted 23 child (we have one in Rwanda), come to show a video and talk. Then we had to leave straight away, so I could do a quick change into my uniform because I had to be at the band headquarters at 12.15, to make a trip to Arco (one of my favourite towns in the province, almost an hour from here) for a parade and concert. Then it was 7pm by the time that I got home again. It was the last concert for our conductor, who has had to resign from the band. We will have a temporary one to prepare us for the Christmas concert. However, since they are changing the practices to Tuesdays, the only day he can come and when I am at Rovereto, and in any case we will be in Sicily when the Christmas concert is on, I have told the band that I can’t come to the practices until after the new year. So there is one more Friday practice and Sunday concert for me this week, after which I will be having a break from the band for a few months.

On Tuesday, my mother and brother will be arriving for a visit for a couple of weeks, so you can pray that all six of us will have a good time together. More on the visit naturally next time I write.
