Castle Sant'Angelo in the background. "The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as the Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building in Rome. It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum."

Children dress up in costumes for Carnival (a festive season that happens 40 days before Easter) and throw confetti and silly string at each other.

Transfers means the mission home entry is filled with worn out luggage.
Very sad to say good-bye to the Crawfords.
The Kellys, Burts, Marcuccis and Crawfords.
The Rome missionaries at a good-bye dinner hosted by the Crawfords.
President Kelly is soooo busy, he seldom gets to take a break. Lucky for us he had about 2 hours to "relax" and go bowling with us on our p-day.
The camera just caught his fantastic spare.
Sister Kelly a.k.a. Bowling Queen!
Sister Kelly scored 184! Hum, that almost doubles my score!
I'll just have to keep practicing :)
My Valentine Tulips.
I found a drinking pitcher at Prima Casa that matched my tulips perfectly!
your hair looks so cute like that mom! Looks like you are having too much fun over there!
ReplyDeleteWe only have fun one day a week :) It helps to sooth our continual home sickness!
ReplyDeleteSo the other 6 days of the week are no fun? man...that stinks.
ReplyDeleteThe other 6 days are full of work, work, work - but missionary work carries with it a great amount of satisfaction and joy (which also helps to easy our home sickness).
ReplyDeleteClaudette~ I agree. Your haircut is awesome! I'm glad you are still finding fun things to do on your P-days. It must be a welcome break from your mission work. We are getting pretty excited for you to come home soon. Love and miss you. ~Debbie
