July in Sicily

Here is a picture of the lastest group of missionaries to leave us (including a picture of Sorella Hunter who had to go home a a few weeks early for medical care). What an amazing group of missionaries! We love them and wish them well!














A new group of 14 excited, wonderful missionaries came just hours after our other missionaries departed. The first evening they were in Sicily I took them on a "fieldtrip". We walked up the hill into Santa"Agata to a spot where we could see the lava flow down the side of Mt. Etna. It was great fun! Looking at this photo though reminds me of Mr. Popper's Penguins. . . .

On our way back to the mission home we stopped for gelato (yum)! We also made a new contact with the people who ran the gelateria. So this served several purposes: 1) to keep the missionaries awake, 2) to have gelato, 3) to do missionaries work, and 4) to see Mt. Etna and real live flowing lava!!!
