Draw me a tree

How do you draw a tree? What kind of tree? Big, small, with leaves, without roots...? is funny all the questions that can appear with such a little sentence: Draw me a tree. But of course, is not that simple.

Now, we are in Bosnia, so we left the Schengen Area (succes :D). Is pretty cold, but Billy (our van) is holding very good (but we will accept your prayers)

The las week was interesting, and busy. We made an International Night, a presentation in the High School and art in Forte Roca (another OM office). The presentation in the school was VERY good. We presented our countries, our selves and our ministry in the van, and also we present the gospel by a testimony. After that, we open for question, and a few but very good and deep questions, so we could share deeper answers... was cool.
After many words, a few days of trainig and meetings and staff like that, we left Torre Pellice, and we arrive in Parma. We stayed there 3 days, and the main thing was encourage the church in mission. There were a lot of Latins (because the church was a Latinamerican Church) a we could see again they warm hospitality, and also they passion for God.

We hang out with them and we did an Open Air in the rain. Was people, and around 10 integrants of the church went with us, and they had very good conversations. In this things, we see we can not do this alone, and we need from the church. we are traveling also for show to the church different kind of evangelism, and also for giving them the opportunity of talk with people, with rain or with sun, windy, cold or dry, is doesn't matter when, just to do it.

Now in Bosnia we are planing to do a Open House, that means people can come, and we will play music,do sketch, arts, give coffe (they LOVE coffe), and talk with them, of course. Also an English cafe, hang out with them and pray. This country need a lot, because the people can't forget and forgive the war. Is pretty sad, and for that is very important pray and also have time with them.


PD: Our new record was in 2 days pass through 4 countries... Oh DEAR!

Pasta al Pesto or just tomato sauce?

Aaahhh, the beautiful Italy, with ALL the pasta you can imagine... but is very good :)

Anyway, we have been here around one week? Yeah, one week and God give us the opportunity to meet young people. First, we went to Como, and there was a lot of young people and all of them very kind to us. We got to know them a little and see how God worked in them, and how they work for God. It was really nice. (And we learned a little Hebrew... crazy, no?)
When we came back to Torre Pellice, where OM Italy is, one day we went to pray for the town and the people. We stopped in the park to pray, and we saw a group of teenagers. We decided to invite them to an International Night that we will have for youth, but we were kind of afraid and nervous because we don't speak Italian, and we weren't expecting to meet young people on our walk. But God had a plan, and they invited us to their school... and then the school invited us to come back on Monday and do a presentation about us and our countries for 60 students. WOW.
This is special because it NEVER happens, especially in a non-Christian school, with teenagers we meet for 5 or 10 minutes... and it was so easy. We have the opportunity to share about our travel, about OM and about the gospel. We think it is amazing how God can move when you are working for Him, and when you are praying :)
