Volume 23 Issue 1

A visit to St. Paul's Papal Basilica

Jamie working with Marcos and Katherine on the bureaucratic necessities of church life: bylaws and registration.

It was a joy to host our regional coordinators, Nate and Stacy Tatman, and three of their daughters in our new town of Rovereto and to have them in church with us at Chiesa di Dio - Arco.

What a tremendous impact Bea Santonocito and her late husband Franco have had on the Church of God in Italy. She went to be with the Lord on February 26. Please remember Pastor Daniele and Concetta and the entire family as they mourn.

Language study is an important part of living cross-culturally. We're working hard on learning Italian. Patrick loves sounding like a character in mafia movie. Jamie loves being able to order coffee in a variety of ways. We're definitely at the stage where a mental search for new words can result in an output of Cantonese, Arabic, German or Spanish, which can be quite amusing and confounding.
