Back in England

It's been a fantastic time and a challenging one...

Not going to say too much over the airwaves but just to say I loved the bible study and Beautiful Italy !!! The food was fab and the supernova Praise God was reliable door to door.

I am really Thankful to God ! for his faithfulness to me and to my friends all over the place who pray for me and support me sometimes in just being there.

This is my last entry on this blog site......... so no more pizza for now....

Love ya !!


Dave

Caio Amica !!

Hi everyone .... Well a month in and all is good !!! The bible study is going really well even though there is alot of work.

We .... that is Roberto Latino (American) and myself study most evenings to get the work done.
But I am trying to focus on the books themselves rather than producing great course work .

As we are such as small school with only the two of us and the family it is quite informal...
We eat together like an Italian family. They cook in the week when we are busy.. and it's fine mighty fine home Italian cooking ... usually pasta based.

Books covered in the school so far include:

Mark, Luke,Galatians, Titus, Philemon Mark. They use a an inductive method .... which basically means reading the bible without external study aids. Later you seek support info from other sources. By the end of each book you have read it 5 times... Mad hey!! well you may think that anyway..

I feel it's a privlege to have the time and resources to study and because there is only two of us it keeps you focused.

If you know Anna Bryon she came over last weekend and we beelined to Lake Como in the sunshine... beautiful...

Also been to Valle Aosta, where the ski resorts are .... bring in on... !! and Torino.

If Rod & Trudy are reading this I can see why you love Switzerland.

Thanks for all your emails.

Dio ti Bendicta !!!


P.S GCC Have a great 25th Birthday Party !!!
