Stake Conference and Jeffrey Visits Slave Lake

Outside the Hotel

Bus Load of Saints

On Saturday night, November 8 we had adult session of Stake Conference for the Rome East Stake. It was very well attended. In fact, it was very crowded in the chapel.We had excellent speakers. Of course it's all in Italian, but I understand it well. The next day we met at a hotel near Villa Borghese. It was so beautiful hotel. I was so impressed when we got thereto see  a bus load of people who had just arrived from Pescara to attend.  It was nice tot be in the hotel because we had so much more room. I'm sure everyone can't wait until the new Stake Center by temple site . I wander if I is completed. I hope I will still be here. I hope so.


In the ditch

Also this weekend Jeffrey decided to go up to Slave Lake to visit his brothers and family. He went alone and had a really good time. The weather however, was nasty and he slid and went into a ditch. A family was able to drive him the last half hour to Timothy's house. They later got the car out and there was no damage and Jeffrey was fine. He met up with Andrew as well. Andrew was in St. Albert but returned on Sunday before Jeffrey had to leave.

Timothy took him to the fire hall and Jeffrey got to put on the full gear.

 I was so glad to hear he made the trip and then made it back safely.

I'm also so glad that here in Rome we are still enjoying a beautiful fall season. The high during the days is about 15-19, low 9. Saturday was another warm day. Just wore a sweater. I could get used to this. :)
