After 36 hours from door to door, we arrived back home yesterday afternoon. The trip went fairly well, apart from Daniele vomiting a bit just after taking off from Singapore (due to a virus he already had) and the video on demand non working for a long time on the Singapore-Europe leg (which made it […]

Today we had our last deputation meeting of this trip, so now we are hard at work with the packing. Our goods have multiplied somewhat since we were here, so it is looking a bit difficult to fit everything into our bags. Anyway, we will be leaving a bit after noon tomorrow to catch the […]

We have moved, celebrated and had a few more meetings now. There is only one more meeting in which we have to speak now, although I do have a trip to Canberra on Wednesday to return my borrowed car and a trip to Katoomba for the Reachout missionary convention on Saturday. But it is a […]

We have come back now from our trip to Queensland. It was a relaxing time, and a nice change from all the deputation meetings that we have been doing lately (although we did do one on the journey back). There was some good time with my relatives there, and the warm Queensland winter was great […]

We have got through another busy week, including three sermons, three interviews and a presentation yesterday. It was good to spend some time at the Bible colleges during the week, and I was able to create a bit of interest amongst people to go to Trento to do church planting.

We have had a bit of free time in the last few days, which have been good for getting the talk for Friday finished. I just have to go over it a couple of times now to practice it. I am feeling a lot more comfortable about doing it now, than when I accepted the […]

Last week was a bit more relaxing, at least after the first couple of days when there were two meetings and a lunch with friends to go to. We even had time to go to Bondi Beach on Friday, which we all enjoyed. On Sunday we did manage to exhaust ourselves however, going to services […]

We are back in Sydney now after our trip to Canberra. It was our most intense week of the whole time we will be in Australia, with 13 meetings in 8 days, as well as going to have meals with some friends and getting in a bit of tourism as well. (Stefania finally saw - […]

Tomorrow (Saturday) we go to Canberra for 8 days, our first trip of our deputation time in Australia, with three services to speak at in one church on Sunday, two services in another church the following Sunday, and seven other meetings of the two churches in the week in between. So we will be kept […]

We have arrived now, a few hours ago. Despite Daniele’s tooth coming out two hours before we left home, the children travelled quite well, and both slept most of the time. Which is more than I can say for the parents! So apart from the jetlag, Pinuccia and I arrived quite tired; I have already […]
