We were invited to an awards event. The brother in the white shirt knows everyone and everyone knows him. He is fearless in sharing his testimony and so he is a mighty force for good here. He is in charge of this awards ceremony. He has 5 sons, his oldest was murdered, this is another son dressed in black at his side.

 These two pictures are awards that go to the top soccer players from Crotone who went on to national fame. They both have been helping youth in the community move up in their skills and opportunities.

 There were three different TV stations filming the event because awards were given out to people from others areas of Southern Italy. We were told later that all who attended are also included in the invitation to the Roma Temple Open House, and the 'Meet the Mormons' so we were glad to be included. We were very early and were introduced to some of them.

In this part of town there are 4 chapels, you can see the large one and then to the left up the hill is another one getting ready for a wedding.Where I am standing is a book store. We were getting books and this book store has all the makings of a Harry Potter set.

 This is Our missionary who is headed to Colorado to serve in January, well maybe Dec. She already speaks and reads English beautifully!! It was her birthday last month so we celebrated.

 Part of our Zone, we had another good DDM
