This summer has been a very good season for the gatherings we’ve had with the young people on the sports field. We built many friendships with them, and this has helped open the way for meaningful and friendly conversations. There were many questions that they asked me, but even more important were the relationships we were able to establish.

The meeting in Albac, with one of the families that welcomes us into their home, gave us the opportunity to spend time together, to pray, and to read the Word of God. Whenever we gather in their house, they go and invite their neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances to join us in listening to the Word as well.

Meeting with sister Maria is always a great joy. This week she celebrated her 93rd birthday. Her optimism and faith are a true encouragement to each of us.

Prayer requests:

• For the young people I will be meeting at the end of this week, that this gathering may be a fitting opportunity for sharing the Gospel.

• For the mission in Albac, that more people would hear the Good News.

• For sister Anuta, who fell and fractured her hip. She had surgery this week.

Thank you very much for your support!
