Rome Mission--the Work Begins

We have the great opportunity to work with the Young Single Adults (ages 18-30). In Italy they are called GANS. We met Monday night for Family Home Evening, Wednesday night for Institute, and Friday night for a Fireside in which we participated on a panel discussion. They asked us lots of questions about how to balance life's responsibilities, school, work, church, and family.



This is our Blue 2012 Opel Corsa that we drive around Rome's narrow streets. Luckily we have a Garmin GPS to help us navigate our way around Rome.


This week we walked to the local Pizzaria and ordered Pizza Capricciosa--note the hard boiled eggs!
It was delicious!



Sunday, we attended the Roma 3 Ward. This will be our ward for the next year. They welcomed us and are excited to have our help. After church Ugo and Jenna Perego invited us over for dinner. Julie knew Ugo Perego when she served in the Italy Milan mission 35 years ago--he was only 7-years-old, and she worked with him in the Primary.

    I love the pictures! Oh, how I miss Italy. I still am getting used to the idea that you are there! We sure enjoyed the great email update that you sent. It sounds like making food will be a more than common occurrence on your mission! I guess that's the culture though, so that's not too surprising! I give you a big thumbs up for coming up with the yellow cake and chocolate pudding frosting dessert. That sounded yummy!
    Have you guys been to the big outside markets yet? You'll have to let me know what they call those in Italian. I bet all the fresh produce is awesome!
    I'm glad that you are getting a nap in during the daytime. It sounds like they are keeping you busy! You'll have to post some pictures of your apartment sometime. I'd also really like to Skype or Google Video with you soon (or whatever it's called)! Let me know when you can do that so we can coordinate times and say Ciao to one another! I love you! Keep up the good work!

    So fun to read what you are doing. I'll bet they are all so glad to have you there! I must insist that Sister Andrew is in more of the photos in the future ;) Keep up the good work!
