My apologies for the lack of communication here in cyberspace! I really must do better at keeping you up to date. So, from this point on, I will try to post more information and at least give you a monthly update on things. In a feeble attempt to explain why I have been a bit…
Yesterday, our Roma friends held their weekly Friday Bible study as usual but this time they added a special added component… a farewell party for the Silby family. This is a temporary farewell as the Silbys will be home in the US for 6 months to reconnect with their church supporters and family. The party,…
