OUR CAR!!! We have a 1999 Fiat Punto... which is the equivalent of a Honda Civic. This car has been our faithful mode of transportation for more than 4 years now ( well 4 years for Leo, 3 years for Beth) :) We have taken many trips in our faithful friend, he has taken us everywhere from Zurich Switzerland to visit friends, to Udine every Sunday for church. We have sat and watched lighting dance across the sky and listened to the rain in our Punto's comfy seats. It was in this car that Leo asked me to marry him and spend the rest of our lives together. Needless to say this car has many memories in it, but sadly cars are not like cats,. they don't have 9 lives. Our Punto is nearing its end, and the time has come to replace it. We have been looking at several different cars that are a bit newer than our 13 year old fiat, and that get good gas mileage, seeing as gas here in Italy costs about $10 a gallon.
We have been saving to purchase a new car, but we are not sure if we will be able to save enough before ours gives out completely. We would like to ask you to consider helping us save for a newer car. As most of you know we are serving here in Italy with Saints Equipped to Evangelize. Leo works full time as a welder and mechanic, and Beth works full time as a counselor, translator, cook, discipler and many other things at the Bible School. We also are serving in the church in Udine as caretakers of the church. With the Leo's salary and the small amount of support Beth receives from the States, we are usually able to pay all of our bills, but paying a lump sum for a car is rather difficult. So we would like to ask you to prayerfully consider supporting us in this particular manner. If you would like more information please email us at lgmbbh@gmail.com or you can send your support to Saints Equipped to Evangelize P.O. Box 587 Bradenton FL, 34206-0587 with our name in the memo.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
