MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ROME!!!

We want to send our love to all of you and hope you feel our love and prayers!  We are very thankful for this opportunity to serve a mission!  We miss all of you but we are happy to be here in Rome and serving our Heavenly Father!  We went on a little trip to downtown Rome and visited a beautiful place, Piazza Navona, and the Fountain of the Four Rivers, sculpted by Bernini, with an Egyptian Obelisk, a very tall tower set on top of the fountain.  The church with the dome next to the fountain was so beautiful!  We went inside and we were amazed at the art, columns, gold and marble everywhere!  This is such a beautiful place!  We hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

                                         This is a "live statue", I am standing next to!

                                                  The detail of the fountain was amazing!!!
                                                Notice the palm tree!!!  (Oh! and Larry too!)

                                          This is a beautiful palace close to the Piazza Navona.
