The day after our recent visitors left we did a 24 hr prayer session (though it was actually 25 hrs due to the clocks going back) in one of the rooms of our house and it was fantastic! The presence of God was awesome and it was great to have some of the guys from church coming along and filling in on some of the hour slots. We are intending to do another one at the end of this month - hooray!

Paolo is doing well we've seen quite a bit of him since we arrived here, he just pops over odd afternoons. He is suffering from headaches (to be expected) but has just started work again and has been to church once as well - praise God.

We are praying for our first youth meeting tomorrow, please do so as well if you read this in time. We are also praying for a table football and a table tennis table! God is just amazing. We've been busy cleaning up the houses and the land (about 1 year of work to go!!) and picking the olives, I managed to have a branch snap and drop me out of a tree. My first accident in ages and have a very sore knee to show for it.

We had an earthquake a few days ago epicentre in Nicolosi 5km away. It was only 3.7 on the Richter scale enough to rattle the windows. I was brushing my teeth at the time and didn't notice it! I exited the bathroom to find everybody else huddled together telling me how the house shook from anywhere between 10 seconds (Marco) to 2 mins (Cinzia).

Thats about it for the moment as off out for a date with my wonderful wife to a fine pizzeria! Good night to y'all!
