Trips and fevers
The trip to Desenzano on Monday went well - it took us quite a few months to get it organised so that all the ECM missionaries in Italy could come, but in the end it was a good time together, even though with everyone having to travel to get there there was not a lot of time available. Tomorrow (Monday) there is another trip for me - going to Verona in the morning to pick up Pinuccia’s parents from the airport. They will be spending 10 days with us, but especially with the grandchildren of course. So it will be like half holidays for us, as they take over some of my jobs (especially in the afternoon when I baby sit whilst Pinuccia is at work) and do some of Pinuccia’s housework. So even though we will be spending some time with them and taking them out places, especially whilst Pinuccia is unemployed during the Easter break, I should be able to get more work preparation done than usual.
The other significant event of the week was Daniele getting his first tooth. Since he also got cold symptoms during the week, and Stefania always got a fever with every tooth and cold she got, I was expecting a fever from him as well. Instead, Stefania had the fever yesterday evening, so now I understand that she gets a fever for every tooth and cold that anybody gets, not just her’s! After the teenagers’ meeting finished at 7pm, we were expecting to go out to a dinner and video with the Monday night cell group, but Stefania’s fever put an end to that, and only I went whilst the other three stayed at home. She is still not 100%, but a lot better, and good enough to go to church and to a friend’s place for lunch today.
