Santo Dio

Santo Dio = Holy God... Just a few quick updates - today a guy came to the door and changing something that had to do with gas and electric bill. He asked Paul if he was an American and why he was here. When Paul told him about the Baptist church (this was all in Italian of course), the boy began to ask lots of questions, wondering what the difference is between the Jehovah's Witnesses and Baptists. He is currently studying with Jehovah's witnesses and wanted to know. Paul explained that we use a different Bible, one that doesn't have interpretation adjustments. The boy was very interested and got Paul's email address so he could prove to Paul from our Bible that Jesus was not God! Good luck with that one :-) It was an incredible conversation to listen to, and with my Spanish and limited Italian I was able to make out what happened most of the time, while baking a chocolate cake... trust me, baking in Europe is ten times harder!!! But it turned out ok :-) AND I am so excited about the Christmas Program - Kelly kind of put me in charge of it, so I'm writing a script and picking out songs... I just translated (well, Paul did) The Gospel Song into Italian, and of course I have to adjust the melody, but I think that will be a great witnessing tool in the program. They say that the Christmas service is their biggest service of the year, so I'll be praying for that! I'll write the Italian words to the song here, if anyone's interested :-) Miss you all!
Santo Dio con amore divento
Uomo perfetto e la colpa mia porto
Sulla croce i miei peccati strappo
Con la sua morte vita nuova c'e l'ho

LOVE that song - as you can see, it is MUCH longer in Italian, haha.
