Segio Thought our fearless leader should have a hat, a BULLS hat


Our group ready to fly to Bergamo! 
The magic of the Blog dropped this in without the other selected pictures so --- This is our Baby blessing. They are the only members with a single home like you might see in the USA. They have spent months remolding and it is beautiful and very modern. 
 This is from Zone Conference -- I didn't see it before-- Good Bye to Sorella Tingey. 
 Alfredo, who believes in the big bang theory and comes each week to try to convince us it is true, was so thrilled for this couple and their baby, He and his wife had several miscarriages but finally were able to keep one son.  The son has not marred and so this family makes Alfredo very happy.
 We were told by the missionaries Alfredo told them that the Bullocks did it right in having a large family and they should do the same thing.  He is making progression-- we will see him baptized.


 In the home of our member family, we lose Sorella Tingey and Anziano Chilvers. They had made amazing progress with the language -- testimonies were strong before now they too have increased
Outside their home
