St. Peters - Stake Conference - Mother's Day

We had the priviledge to be Elder Donaldson's guide in Rome.

Elder Donaldson was the presiding authority at the Rome Stake Conference and he had only 4 hours on Saturday morning to see a bit of Rome and he choose to see St. Peters.

The magnificent dome created by Michelangelo.
In Peter's hands are keys but the one in possession of the keys is standing just below him.

After the meeting we went to see the flowers at the Spanish Steps.

It was especially wonderful to be remembered on Mother's Day by each of my children.
