Continuation of long day

After  we got home from district meeting,  I got some personal study time in while Paul continued to talk on the phone and try to finish our pass along cards.  At 7 we had an appointment to meet with a less active man and his girlfriend.  They live in northern Italy but were down here visiting family for a couple of weeks.  He has a cd of him playing his guitar and singing songs he has written.  He gave us one of his CDs last week and told us to listen to it and if we liked it we could pay him 10 Euros.  Paul listened to it and said he wanted to come over and get a personal concert tonight.  When we first got there, Paul pulls it a 10 Euro note and asks for a pair of scissors.  He cuts it in half and writes Marco's name on one half and Marie Angela on the other half.  He then told them that when they get married they can tape it together and spend it however they want.  She said that she will never spend it but wanted to frame it.  Paul told them the story of pampa meeting Connie at the restaurant in Afton and thought she was so cute, so he cut a $20 bill in half and gave her half and wrote Scott's name on her half and then he gave Scott the other half with her name and phone number on it.  If they ever got together they could spend the 20 on a date.  That never worked out, but how amazing was it that she ended up marrying his youngest son Marlowe.
After that, Marco gave us a two hour concert.  He was really good and I loved all the songs he sang.  He sang many in English for me, some Bob Dillan, some Beatles, and many I have heard but didn't know well.  Toward the end, his mom joined him and th both sang some famous italian songs that they had probably sung before a hundred times.  Pretty soon, his dad and a friend and his girlfriend joined in with his mom and with him ; all singing loud and really well together.  It was a delightful night.  We hope and pray that he and his darling sweet girlfriend will get married and that she will join the church.  e walked the mile to their apartment and back home again.  I got enough walking in for one day, since we walked a couple of miles this morning together too.
I will sleep well tonight.

Ciao ciao :)
