Thirteen today, Can anyone remember what 13 was like?

 Our first Italian Musical. One of the investigator's daughters is in the play. It is about Italian Immigrants to American. All true stories. This is part of our branch we are sitting with. RS Pres and Elders Pres.

Hoping the video will share the flavor of Italian music. It was bella.

 The town to the left on the ridge is Cutro, one member lives their with several investigators. We made a trip out and will return this next week. the countryside is beautiful. This about 20 minutes from home.

 On our way to Cosenza for District meetings we stopped with the Sisters to look at some of these cactus that grow in large clusters. covering some of the cliffs.

Olive trees and a convert in the distance, where the smoke is, which is from burning the trimmed branches of the olive trees.

 Just up the road from the cactus snow.

Looking down off the mountain you can see Cosenza about 1 hour and 30 minutes away. 

 We are doing a plaza art walk in Cosenza before our meeting with the Millets, The Mission Nurse and the Office manger. This is a mink coat. Fur coats are commonly seen and there is a wide variety of furs. 

 I feel like I'm living one of my favorite books and here is the evidence! Slaying a dragon!

 Here are the Millets, this is there second foreign mission, they will head home this summer.

One of the best high lights of our trip to Cosenza was our first baptism to witness in Italy. This sister has been investigating the church for 5 years. Her excitement and joy were tangible and we were thrilled to see her total commitment. We will have a baptism in Crotone in 2 weeks.
