Malta Week 41

Malta Week 41 - Finally, a week to get caught up!

We have been so busy.  The extra trips to Rome have really taken a big bite out of our time.  That is why I am so far behind on this blog!  But this week, we didn't have as much going on and it was nice to be able to have time to work on lessons and try to get caught up. 
Monday Night English Class

Tuesday Night Institute

Wednesday Night English Class

On Wednesday we decided to go to Mauricio's Restaurant, Don Edward.  He was so excited that we came!


While we were out checking on some other things, we found a new beautiful spot in St Paul's Bay.  
I'm always amazed at how clear and beautiful the water is here.

On Saturday, we went to Mama Mia's for lunch with the Beck's.  We really enjoy their friendship.

YSA Game Night Saturday Night
For our game night this week, the YSA leaders planned several challenging games.  This one was too intense for me.  I had to drop out.  It was a form of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, but at some point, the leader tells them to grab the cup and the first one to get it wins that round.
It was crazy, but everyone had a good time and then we moved on to "Do you love your neighbor?"

SUNDAY
Sister Alvarado, Jenson & Hoyt sang in Sacrament Meeting on Sunday.  They all three have beautiful voices and they performed exceptionally well. 

I'll end with this cute picture of my Grandson Vince.  He's a Deacon and he is giving his first talk in Sacrament Meeting in his ward in Albuquerque.  We feel so blessed that we were able to zoom in and hear his talk even though he is on the other side of the world.  He did an amazing job!  Way to go Vince!

Part 2: ROME On Wednesday afternoon, we took a flight to Rome accompanied by Shane and Sam. A member of our Branch was celebrating their wedding in Rome and invited us to join. Having Shane and Sam with us made the trip even more special, allowing us to enjoy Rome together. We packed as much as possible into the brief two days we spent there. Upon our arrival, it was raining. Our Airbnb was conveniently located just outside the Vatican. We discovered a quaint cafe for dinner and later strolled to view the Vatican by night. It resembled a scene from a fairy tale, with lights reflecting off the glistening pavement. Even with the drizzling rain, it was a beautiful night. We had to try some Italian Gelato, so we found this charming little restaurant to indulge. The following day, we located the Metro and made our way to the Coliseum. I had no idea this was Sam's first subway ride! As we came out of the subway station and stepped outside, the immense Colosseum stood directly before us! ...

Malta - Week 35

This week's highlights include a Zone Conference in Rome, a visit from Shon Hiatt, Gozo and more! After a great weekend with the Morrises, we dropped them off at the airport on Monday afternoon.  We had to fly to Rome that same day for Zone Conference on Tuesday, so I don't know why they didn't book us on the same flight. Our flight was just a few hours later.  So after dropping them off at the airport, we drove home, finished packing and headed back to the airport.  That's when the drama began.   As we were driving to the airport that evening, we got a call from the Elders saying that Elder McPhie had forgotten his passport, so the two elders went back home to get it.  At this point they couldn't make it to the airport on the bus on time, so they needed us to come get them.  That wasn't too far out of the way, so we went and picked them up.  We lost a little time, but we were once again on our way to the airport, when we got a call from the Siste...
