| Ancient missionary walking on Via Appia |
Film makers are in the midst of making a movie for the Rome Temple Visitors Center once it opens. I came out one night to see them shoot a scene depicting an ancient missionary apostle (could represent Peter or Paul) and then modern day missionaries. This site they choose is called Via Appia Antica. It is one of the earliest and most important Roman routes of the ancient republic. It connected Rome to the most southeastern part of Italy. It was used as the main route for military supplies and transporting troops from small cities to Rome in the 4th century.
In talking to Daniele, I commented on his English and asked him where he learned to speak so well. He told me he served a mission in Calgary. He began to tell me how much he loved it and really wanted to find a Canadian girlfriend when he got off his mission and then said, but his brother beat him to the punch. I quickly said, "Is your brother Fausto?" To which he replied yes, how do I know him. I told him I really didn't, but my sister-in-law's niece in Cardston is dating a man from Italy. I quickly made that connection and I was right. Man! What a small world.
