July 2025
It has been a while since we last posted a blog about our mission
activities. We continue to stay busy
with our family history record preservation efforts, mission support and
apartment ministering work. We often
wake up on Sunday morning and think, it’s Sunday again. Where did this week go?
After reading one of our blog posts, my oldest brother Phil commented, “Make sure to take some time to just wander around!” Well, I’m happy to report that we’ve done a little of that.
Our daughter Katie made a quick trip to visit us in May this year for her birthday and for Mother’s Day. As we traveled around a bit with her, she commented that she felt like she was “living in a post card”. I think that is a really good way to describe the beauty that we enjoy here in Northern Italy as we serve in the Italy Milan Mission.
Towards the end of 2023 before we left for our mission, we made an 18-month calendar with bird photos that we had taken. As that calendar ran out at the end of June 2025, we decided to make another calendar for the next 18 months. This time we decided that we would make a calendar of landscape photos.
So, in the spirit of “wandering around”, “living in a
postcard”, and updating our 18-month calendar, I thought I’d create a blog post
sharing a sampling of photos that we’ve captured in 2024 and so far in
2025 and that we've used for our updated calendar.
We hope that you enjoy!
