On October 16–18, 2015, the Italian Field held a Spiritual Conference in the magnificent mountain scenery of the Aosta Valley.
The theme of the conference was "Family—Our Greatest Asset." Brother Pedro Conceição, the GC Auditor, was present and delivered the lectures on the topic during the weekend.
Those who have taken part in a campaign to collect funds for important church projects often meet with sad disappointments and happy surprises. And sometimes, when children are involved, the seriousness of their approach to the whole matter may be so amusing that you cannot help laughing. And some stories that come from such occasions cannot easily be forgotten.
On October 14, 2015, the 37th Reorganization Session of the South Brazilian Union began, and extended until noon on Friday, October 16, 2015. The theme of the session and the Spiritual Conferences that followed that weekend was "United for One Mission" based on Mark 16:15, which talks about preaching the gospel to all creatures. It was on this same topic that the General Conference President, Brother Davi P. Silva, spoke to approximately 700 people on Sabbath morning.
On Saturday, October 3, 2015 a baptism was conducted in Denmark. Sister Rebecca Majnolovic was baptized. It was a very blessed day, with full of good spirit and joy. We have already begun a plan to prepare the next candidate. There were two young people who attended our church for the first time and were impressed by the solemnity of the service. God be honored!
