It was fairly chilly today, but the sun was out, which helped. Church was very enjoyable, with some good talks and lessons. There was a young family from Utah with two small kids, visiting Europe for a couple of months; they stayed for the whole time, which was quite impressive since there wasn't English translation for the last hour. We sat with the younger Perego kids during Sacrament meeting since their mom is out of town; as a result, we missed some of the talks, but it was fun.😊
I was asked to speak in Sacrament meeting next week, which will be enjoyable for me, with a topic of my choosing. My wife will speak in a few weeks, since she's already teaching Relief Society next week. We're a bit surprised it took this long for them to ask us, given how small the ward is, but we are delighted to take our turn.
My cough seems to be pretty tame today, though perhaps my wife is coming down with it. If she gets it, it will probably last two or three hours. That's how she is. I'm jealous.
I spent much of the afternoon working on my talk and lesson for next Sunday. My wife was in the kitchen, preparing a ham and cheese pasta casserole for a senior missionary potluck dinner at the mission home this evening. The dinner was very enjoyable, getting to know the folks better, including some people who work full-time at the temple construction site. They had us and the Balzottis introduce ourselves, since it was our first time. There were lots of laughs and lots of good stories all evening.
