Cherished Friendships in Rome

More Baptisms

Sebastian Ferrinan and family

Sebastian Ferrinan, an 11-year-old boy who has been attending Primary the past month, was baptized. His family is from Peru, and the missionaries found them and invited them to church. Sebastian’s father was able to baptize him. They brought another family with them to the baptism! We felt a wonderful spirit! 
 
Baptism in the Sea

Natalia, Diana, Ayelen, Marianna, and Diana

We were able to go to Ladispoli (on the Tyrrhenian Sea) and see the baptism of one of the Young Single Adults Ayelen (Ashlyn) Gimenez from Argentina. Her friends invited her to come to the YSA activities. We met her last November and thought she was wonderful! Then she was taught by the sister missionaries and decided to be baptized. We had the meeting at the church and then walked a few blocks to the Tyrrhenian sea to have the baptism. It was a beautiful setting!

Three of our missionaries were transferred! We just get to know them, and they are off to another city!

Lillian, Lindsay, & Parker

Another Grandbaby!

Our big news was the birth of our 10^th grandchild, Lillian Price, born to Lindsay and Parker on May 21. She weighed 4 lbs 12 oz and was 18 inches long. Mother and baby are doing great! The birth of Lillian evened out the numbers of our grandchildren—5 girls and 5 boys! We were able to Skype with Lindsay and Parker not too long after the birth!
