We have had a whirlwind couple of months! Lots going on and really, lots of interactions with APM friends!
We started March with the sealing of Caleb Leonhardt and his bride Elizabeth. It was a beautiful day and so fun to meet his family!
Truly one of our favorite RM activities!!
We were able to meet up with Jason Hutchinson one evening for dinner. Great to show an older RM where he ended up on the quilt that he never saw completed!
Great to spend time one on one!!
Ava playing with our farm animal set! She is ADORABLE!
President Taylor left a day early for our ITALY TRIP this month in order to cover the placing of the MORONI on the Italy temple! Beautiful experience for him!
We were able to stay with our dear friends, Mike and Susan Pickerd in the Rome Mission Home! We attended church with them and were surprised to greet about 10 of our former MTC missionaries, two of which we had just been in church with the previous Sunday in Provo!! What a blessing!
We enjoyed touring Rome, then Floerence, then Venice...
...then Milan where you can see we spend an interesting Sunday!
We started on the rook of the Duomo in our Sunday clothes for a walk! It was incredible!
Then we took a couple trains and a bus to get to the MILAN MISSION HOME to meet the Allens. We watched General Conference with them and their assistants, which we also had in our MTC branch when we first started in that branch!
Here we are after conference with 4 of the missionaries we had in our branch at Provo MTC currently serving in Italy Milan.
Then we spent about 5 days in the CInque Terre area of Italy for wonderful hiking each day and enjoying the sweet little city so peaceful when all the day tourists would leave at night!
We hiked about 13 miles a day and loved it!
We came home for a few days and then turned around and went back to Europe to FRANCE!
Scott got to cover the Open House for the new France Paris Temple. It is stunning!
What made our trip the most meaningful was meeting up with former APM missionary CHristie Mejia! We spent the day with her touring Paris including a boat tour of the Seine River and all the incredible sights along it!
We had a traditional AMAZING French dinner with her family and a wonderful evening just visiting! Oh what a miracle to see one of our foreign missionaries again!
And of course, we spent time getting in some sights of our own including going up in the Eiffel Tower at night!
Back in Provo, we are in the season of weddings!
We were headed to Andy Marble's sealing when we heard s "Hey, President Taylor!" We see Nick Egan and his wife Courtney also at the Payson temple. We finally figured out that we were headed to the same sealing! Andy married Courtney's cousin Rachel!
Beautiful couple coming out of the Payson Temple.
Us with Andy and Rachel.
Another reception the same day for Jessica Turner marrying Dillon Selee. We also saw Emily and Adam Murry, Corinne Coleman, Sarah and Logan Williams, Kadee and Caleb Arave.
SO FUN!
