Visiting relatives and other activities
Sunday, February 17th, 2008Yesterday the families of two of the members of the Youth Group went to Mantova (about an hour south of here) for the opening of the new meeting place of a church there, so there was no meeting in the afternoon. We took this rare opportunity of a free Saturday to visit a set of Pinuccia’s aunt, uncle and cousins about 2.5 hours south of Trento, having lunch and spending the afternoon there.
Apart from that, there were the usual activities for the week, as well as a church committee meeting (at which we carried forward our discussion and decisions for the Trentino church planting project; there will be some big decisions to take as a church at its annual meeting in April about its future – more on that later) and getting a newsletter out (at http://richardwilson.interfree.it/news63.htm if you haven’t seen it yet). With this newsletter, I have also started the preparations for our visit to Australia in the middle of the year – I have started filling up our time with bookings to speak in churches and other groups about what we are doing in Italy.
