We are grateful for the blessing of serving with President and Sister Acerson. They love their missionaries!
President Acerson signing documents at Elder Burt's desk.
Sister Acerson noticed this Elder needed a trim, so during our Zone Conference lunch break she quickly turned the President's office into a barber shop.
I love spring! Rome's wisteria is in it's beautiful fragrant bloom.
Wednesday, when we were done with our office work we went to the Caravaggio exhibition.
My personal favorite is the basket of fruit.
This is Culture Week in Italy.All state museums and monuments are free.
The National Museum of Rome.
St. Angelo Castle
The castle was originally built as a mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian in 139 AD. Since then it has played many roles: a military fortification, a prison and a place of safety for the Pope during times of political unrest. A corridor links the castle with the Vatican Palace.

Saturday, Sister Iorfida picked us up for an outing with Marisa.
Marisa bought bread for our meal at this fabulous bread and pastry shop.
Marisa's delicious kindness.
Arichoke hearts and finocchio.
After dinner, Marisa took us to place called Rocca dei Cavalieri (rock of the calvaliers). It is a modern version of a medieval castle.
A wonderful day, with wonderful friends.
