Here we are with Scott and Fil. We had just finished with our open air meeting. We first met at Davide and Alida's house to get ready with our makeup. We then had what we affectionately call the "mime parade" We walked through the town down to the piazza. It was fun but weird, we got many interesting looks. Once at the piazza Scott set up his sketchboard and we began by gathering a crowd by doing a few skits. Scott and Fil followed with a sketchboard presentation of the gospel. Scott spoke in english and Fil translated. After they were finished we handed out tracts to the people who were left. We repeated this 3 times throughout the night. At first there were not many people out in the piazza, but as the night progressed there were more and more.
We didn't know what to expect. At first when we were doing our skits lots of people stopped to watch. Then they stayed for the sketchboard presentation, but when Scott mentioned "God", many people left. We personally were very disappointed. When we talked to Fil afterwards, he was very excited that anyone stayed. He was encouraging to us. It was such an eye opener. We tend to tell people the gospel and have the attitude that once we have told them, that we are off the hook; our duty is done. The Italians have the attitude that people need to know and they need to keep telling them until they get it. It is not such a duty, they are compelled to share this great news with others. We can learn so much from this small group of believers.
Ciao,
Team Italy
