We love our missionaries! This week we began zone conferences in Rome East and West.

During the last few weeks in Italy, one of the great joys for us has been to see the growth of the Church here in Italy. We had the chance to attend the groundbreakings for chapels in Pescara and
Terni. Here are the pictures from Terni. Thank you to everyone who has helped serve the Lord in these wonderful places.

We had some wonderful visitors to the Villa on Sunday!

We had Mission Leadership Council this week and met with the great leaders here in the mission.

We welcomed 15 wonderful new missionaries this week! They stayed with us Tuesday and Wednesday nights. We love them!

Today we said goodbye to 8 incredible missionaries. Thank you Sorelle and Anziani for all you have contributed to the work in the Great Italy Rome Mission!

The groundbreaking in Pescara. It was a great day for this area.

We were able to attend the ground breaking for the remodeling of a building in Pescara for the new church there.

We visited these great missionaries in Ascoli on Saturday!

We did it!

Four days, four cities, four happy but tired missionaries.  Thanks assistenti!

Beginning

Missionaries!

This week, we had the wonderful opportunity to meet the missionaries of the Great Italy Rome Mission. We love them! Between Wednesday and Saturday, we were able to meet every missionary and spend a minute with each one of them and to talk to them as a group. If any of their parents read this, we want you to know how much we appreciate your children. They are doing a great work here in Italy. I will post pictures of each group below.

Seminar

We attended the 2016 Mission Presidents' Seminar June 22, 2016 in Provo, Utah. They were truly days never to be forgotten.
