The Nigros have...a BLOG!

Last May, reliving our wedding kiss from 1995.
This is the Town Hall in Subotica, Yugoslavia (ex)!

I'm REALLY excited to welcome you to our first-ever, family and ministry blog! I've been in the blogging mood to begin with these days (between seminary courses right now), and started two other blogs in late November. If you are curious, click on over to Tasting Treviso, where I blog about the bitter and the sweet of daily life in our beloved city, Treviso. The other is The Language Station, where I discuss ways to learn a foreign language.

But I've been especially keen on starting THIS blog as the one-stop place to keep you informed about our family and ministry. It just makes sense for us to move away from the traditional "newsletter" approach. For me (Mark), it is difficult to retro-write updates. There is always the lag between "when it happened" and "when you hear about it." Prayer needs which tend to be time sensitive, often pass before they're known. A lot is...just missed!

What's more, everyone is becoming accustomed to "snippets" these days in the social network arenas like FaceBook and Twitter. Only the patient few actually will wade through a two-page newsletter, and even relatives scarcely will read a four page update! On this blog, entries may vary from a brief "two-liner," to a tolerable paragraph or two. It might be daily, or twice per week. But you'll always hear the latest news and know what to pray for.

My hope is that through this blog, you'll truly feel (and be) more a part of our ministry and our personal lives. If you have email, and you CLAIM to love us, subscribe to this blog through one of the methods offered on this site. You'll receive each post as it comes out....unless of course you forget to check your email.

We've got some REALLY exciting things to share with you over the next few days!

Love and every blessing to you,

Mark for the whole family
