Youth meeting was great had about 30 people here and was a bit nuts! Lots of playing on DarkWind on the playstation and Pro Evolution, good hot dogs (called Houston here - Italian way of saying Würstel). We set up a prayer room and told everybody that for one hour before eating, we four (Me and Andrea, Marco and Cinzia) would be there, it was great when a couple of them came to spend that time in God's prresence and to seek prayer.
If we do another youth event it will probably not be for a while as we concentrate on the young adults. This Thursday we are having a meeting with some guys that we want to start huddling/discipling who, God willing, will become small group leaders. Please, please pray for this meeting. Today we have a meeting with another church leader who has a girl he would like us to invest in and after that we have another meeting.
Marco and I have been cleaning rubbish and debri off the land for about 3 weeks now, we,ve probably carted away over 100 black bin liners as well as 2 truck loads and have been having a fire going most days - just incredible. We could do with a dozen people willing just to do gardening for a week!
The olive picking has finished - hooray - we gathered 1220kg of olives. That is a lot by the way. The oil is just amazing!
Due to the amount of mice that were living above our heads in the roof of the house where we are sleeping, we decided to get an exterminator in. He came and left lots of different poisons out about 2 weeks ago. The mice died in the roof and an aweful stench started to seep through the walls and ceiling (we reckoned on about 60 dead mice from 2 colonies). 2 days ago maggots started dropping through our ceiling so Andrea and I have temporarily moved rooms - pretty grim!
My knee got healed by God, however, yesterday whilst chopping up some logs a piece of wood shot off and socked me in the left eye, the world went green for a split second and I passed out for a few seconds. When I awoke I had no vision in either eye which gave me 10 seconds of panic followed by praising God as I could see again in a kind of looking through an empty glass sort of way. Today, all is fine, just sore in bright lights and a bit blurry in the left eye. I am very very thankful that it wasn't a lot worse!
Please keep praying for us and let us knmow if you have any prayer requests.
