August still finds us at the airport either sending off missionaries or greeting new ones. Recently the airport in Catania frosted the big windows that separate the waiting area from the arrival area. That makes it difficult for us to spot our new missionaries as they come into the airport. But they didn't frost the windows all the way to the top, so we can still climb the stairs and watch for those white shirts to come down the ramp. Then we wave to them to let them know that we really are on the other side of those windows waiting for them. Here is Presidente Taranto with Anziani Tilini and Armillei watching for white shirts and tags to appear!
We had two maxi conferences in our mission. One in Taranto and one in Catania. We had meetings at the beginning of the day and again at the end. But after lunch there were outside physical activities (so hot!!) and then watermelon for a treat. Here are a few of those enjoying the treat. Did I mention we have wonderful missionaries? We love them all!!
Zone Leader Council had supper at the pizzeria in Gravina up the street here. Johnie loves to see us come. I rather enjoyed it too!! No dinner to prepare and no dishes--and everyone got just what they wanted! What a fun evening and a fun group!
