Anne-Marie is Italian and was 30 years old when this picture was taken in Italy. She has always loved the Creator and reads the Bible daily, so recently agreed to a study. In her senior years, she moved to France to be near her daughter and is living in a retirement home at St.Ouen where Marisa has the privilege of visiting her weekly to examine the Scriptures. Because of her deep appreciation, Anne Marie reads over ahead of time all the study articles and paragraphs concerning the topic, researching every scripture. She said the worn pages of her Bible is like gold.

Much of the preaching work for this community is done in the streets; Marisa does not hesitate to ask someone who accepts a brochure or pamphlet for their name and address, phone number, setting up a definite time to call at their home. They find it rather bold but comply, setting appointments even a month later if convenient. Most people live in closed buildings where residents can only be reached through intercoms, so precise information is important. This area is very mixed, not only culturally but religiously. Recently, all the friends here received the recommendation to also preach to Muslims.

That evening, Marisa's son Massimo picked us up and took us first to his home for an 'aperitif'. We met his wife Sylvie and his son and daughter. After, we ate at a Chinese restaurant...
Back at Massimo's, the chatter was happy and loud; Nicolas and Manuel played music..classical guitars...we had a very pleasant evening...I'll upload the videos later on when I figure how to operate the program. Sorry.
