Anyone else out there from the Watkins/Lotito era have Elder B's cartoons? We photocopied his Missionary Diary right before he went home. Even today, I can look at those cartoons and smile and brings tears to my eyes at the memories. Those were very much the "had to be there" kinds of things.

I've recently gotten on facebook and I was suprised how many people from the mission are not on there. I've reconnected however with Italian missionaries I've served with and have been able to begin practicing my Italian again. What a blessing. Also it's a great way to share photo's of our missions and families. If your on facebook and know me from the mission, please look me up and add me as a friend, I would love to reconnect with everyone!

We are so excited to hear the news of the new Rome Temple. We have been looking all over the internet to see if we could find exactly where it is and I found it on www.ldschurchtemples.com. From the home page you find temples and under construction or announced, click on there, then click on the Rome Italy temple and from there you can see the ariel view, street map, and even construction photos which were taken awhile ago. You can even get on a mailing list where they will update you on the progression of the temple. I think it is super exciting, so I thought I would share. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that we will all see each other at the dedication. I know we are hoping to make it. God speed!

I have been speaking with other returned missionaries who served in Italy, and it seems the feeling is common. My wife and I will also be there for the dedication!

Today, an amazing announcement was made in General Conference--the building of a temple in Rome!
What a blessing not only for the saints of Italy, but for the entire nation of Italy. The presence of a temple dedicated to the Lord always brings blessings with it to the nation it is built in!
And just think what it means for the saints of Italy, as well! They are faithfull enough to merit having a temple built there that will not only serve them, but the members of Greece, the members of the former Yugoslavia, and other nations in that area of the Mediteranean Sea.
The scuttlebutt has it that it is a development that will not only include the temple, but a stake center for the stake in Rome, but a branch of of BYU, and a community sport center that will be available to the local citizens. (AT least that is what my friend Alessandra Po Mannuci has shared with me.)
I feel so luck to be included in those who had the chance to serve in Italy and come to know those wonderful, crazy Italians, and count them among my very best friends.
I know what my next trip to Italy will be. I WILL BE THERE for the dedication of the temple in Rome.

I'd also love information on her. I've not been in touch with her at all since she went home...

I lost touch with her. Does anyone know how I can reach her?

When I arrived in Ancona in 1993, my trainer was Franco Spina from Siracusa, Sicilia. I have tried many times unsuccessfully to contact him, even sending a letter to an old address that I had for him. Would love to know if anyone knows, or has any current info on him (including contact info). Thanks.

I would like to know as well...I knew her when I was in Forli in 1978.

I'm wondering if anyone has heard what ever happened to Stefania Massa. the last time I saw her was over 20 years ago. She'd come to the States and spent some time with me and Steve Fast. I was just doing some research on Stefania Massa and found one with the same name who now teaches in Sweden. I was wondering if it was the same woman. Anyone know?

I mean no disrespect with this message, but does anyone else think Chief Justice John Roberts and President Curtis look EXACTLY alike? I got my new Time in the mail today, and Chief Justice Roberts is on the cover, and I seriously thought it was President Curtis for a second. And President Curtis is a lawyer too...strange. Just thought I'd share that with everyone.

I am trying to get in touch with Giuseppe Dell'Aquila, who served in the mission from '99-'01. We served together in Monfalcone when he was a greenie. He was from Siracusa. Anyone who knows his contact info please let me know. Thanks!
