Why I screamed out loud during General Conference

A Temple in ROME, ITALY!

Wowzers. I couldn't be more ecstatic than if it were in my own backyard!
I've dreamed for nearly 10 years for this day.
But the members of Italy have dreamed of this for a lifetime or more.

I'm screaming too! Everytime they announce new temples I always hoped that they'd announce ROME. Finalmente!!! So, so exciting. I just can't stop smiling and feeling so grateful to have served my mission there. WAHOOO!

I found another blog with a gal who served her mission in Rome, maybe you know her...I'm so bad, I can't remember when you were there. It seems like another life, you know?

Zoie-
It was so great to hear from you and your blog is too cute.

We were so excited about Rome and of course the other 4 temples too. How are you? So glad I can read your blog and know what's going on with your cute family.
