We served Root Beer Floats after Devotional for treats. Our Italian Members were okay with the ice cream--- root beer not so much --- but our guests drank all the pop and eat all but a small bit of ice cream which Daniela ate. The cans of pop were the first Root Beer we have purchased or seen to purchase--- A&W root beer at 2.20 euro a can.
Our room at the hostel.
Good bye for now, but many wonderful memories.
We passed a home half in a hill / half out.
Part of Switzerland is Italian/ part German/ part French, we are in the German part of course but after driving through countless tunnels including one that was 10 miles long and another one that was 17 miles long , we arrived in the Italian part of Switzerland.
Putting air in the tires on our way back to Italy.

The Blessed Day.
The two witnesses, The other man WAS their Branch President, they have moved to northern Italy and he helped bring Sister T into the church --- he also signed her baptismal certificate. What a very tender mercy from the Lord to have him at the temple serving during the week of their sealing! Only the Lord could make all those connections!
Caring for the kids and helping a unhappy little boy from Slovenia listen to a Italian cartoon on the laptop!
Our cooks are at it again.

People from France, Germany, Slovenia, Holland, Denmark, Italy , Chile, Africa -- and I guess you could say the USA all working, serving in the temple and living together happily.

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
