 Today we said good bye to Anziano Nessen  We also celebrated his birthday which is next week.
 Elder Williams will also be transferred and we celebrated his birthday which we will miss by one month!
 We will loss Sorella McFarland (in black blouse) , Nessen and Williams from our district. They will be replaced by one greenie and two main stays!

 Last District meeting together !


 Last night we had a GESSO--- You all go to one location and meet people and invite them to English class or to Learn more about the Gospel- have a lesson.
 The Sorella will have a lesson with one of the few English speaking people I met. She went by twice and I stopped her the second time. She is here from England and has been teaching English in the British School. She is not working right now, but she has learned about the MORMONS from a U-Tube made by a family is Idaho. She has been following them for 5 years! And she wants to know MORE!!!
I gave out another Card to a man who was here from Iran. He said he would give the card to his friends because he was leaving town. Well tonight three men showed up to English class, all three were his friends. One from Pakistan and 2 from Afghanistan. They were very nice and so VERY happy to be able to speak English. One spoke very well and made comments about the number of Americans in his country. He was positive about the protection they offer. One said he had been in Crotone for 8 months and we were the first people he had been able to speak English to! They are 20-25 years old. The 20 year old said it is important to speak English because English is the Universal Language. They are here trying to get their paper work so they can live in Europe. American is their goal but any place other than their countries is desired! They are all trying to get their families out as well.
 Who wouldn't want to do a Gesso by the Sea!
 Anziano Nessen took out a foot ball and started to toss the ball around, he got lots of attention!

 The Plastic table cloth acts as a blackboard and we wrote ENGLISH COURSE on it with our stick figures !
 When we got this rug it was rather dirty, and now Anziano Bullock has cleaned and scrubbed and cleaned some more and it likes beautiful!
 We located a jewelry who do all their own work.  We went in for some Crotone symbols and they had a new one the son had made. Anziano Bullock said we will take it----- No he never says that!
The Dad is wrapping up like it is the crowned jewels!
 Here is the Artist and his work. It is silver and gold with the Greek Symbol of Crotone!
 The whole City is showered in colorful sprays of flowers! just a couple of bushes we see everywhere!

Anziano Morgan's last Pizza Night , hosted by our English Student, Gracella, Gracella went to another place and brought me chicken and veggies to eat! She is not just generous but very thoughtful!
