Roman Birthday

Birthday Celebration

Brigitte, S. Andrew, Jackie, S. Ligas, Philippe, Bishop, Francois    

We were invited to Bishop Ligas’ home for dinner, and Julie made brownies because Sister Ligas loves American brownies. We were able to talk to Sister Ligas about the Seminary program since she taught it last year, and we will be teaching it this year. All three of their sons were at dinner as well as Brigitte, who Julie  works with in Primary. Their sons are YSA age, so we wanted to invite them to come to our activities. When they found out it was Julie's birthday, they found a birthday candle and sang Buon Compleanno. We had a fun evening. Great Family!

Haircut Excursion

Haircut by Federico

Piazza del Popolo

Thursday, Julie had a haircut appointment with Federico. It had been almost 10 weeks since she last had it cut. With the humidity here, she was going a little crazy (and so was her hair). 

Villa Borghese Park

After eating lunch at a fun pizzaria near Piazza del Popolo, we walked around Villa Borghese, a beautiful park near downtown Rome where Greg did some tracting in 1970. 

Institute Activities

New ping pong table

Friday, we taught our lesson for Institute and set up the Wii and ping pong table afterward! The YSA had lots of fun. We also had some visitors passing through from Australia and Germany!

Utah Visitors

Sunday in church we met Sister Jardine and her daughter Rochelle from Alpine, UT. They knew Sister Mikesell who is serving with us in Roma 3. After church, we gave them a ride to see the temple and then back to their hotel in downtown Rome.
