A hard day.

When John arrived at our language school this morning we learned some terrible news. One of our professors and good friends Marcello, died in a motorcycle accident last night. We had just celebrated his birthday the day before. Marcello was married and had 2 kids.

This was shocking news to us, and we have been spending the day talking about the moments we have shared with Marcello over the past 4 months. It has been such a humbling reminder of how fragile our lives really are here on this earth. This world is not our home. Yet so many do not have a relationship with God and will sadly, never experience the peace of the heavenly home. We hold such a valuable truth that the world needs to hear!

Please remember his family and everyone at the language school in your prayers during this difficult time.
