Cinzia is coming back on Friday as she is well enough to travel - Praise God! Paolo is in the same position as the last post. He basically need to stay in the hospital and not move, we are awaiting test results at the moment.

I'm only hearing one side of the story but there seems to be a problem with his family and Magda (Cinzia's sister and Paolo's girlfriend). They seem to be excommunicating her and also acting as though there is nothing wrong with him - getting him to sit up and having loads of people in the room. The doctor's orders are only one person at a time and sparingly at that. Seems a bit strange.

Agnese (Cinzia's other sister) arrived back from Sicily last night 5 hours late - after being 4 hours late going there!

Luca managed to hit a tyre in the road and has damaged his car. He borrowed Marco & Cinzia's and Debra drove it and had a small crash - basically a dent in the car.

Andrea and I are at a leadership conference at the moment - Mon, Tue, Wed 10am-12pm and 8pm-10:30pm. So updates will be sparodic. The teaching is really good and we'll share on here later in the week.

Jess arrived back here safely with a friend Leah. The two girls that were due to leave today are staying an extra night due to a national train strike.

Thankyou soooooooooooooooooooooo much for all that are praying for Paolo - we know that it does and is having an effect.

We've got some of the Sheffield Formees coming for a few days mission and we are excited by what God is going to do - we'll be focussing on the gypsy camp where we have fantastic relationships and have seen people coming to Christ. Fantastic.

May the Lord Jesus' presence and blessing be on all that have read these words.
