Here are the elders who are in our district.  Elder Bryant from Las Vegas is on the left.  He serves in Casttledemmare with Elder Bailey on the far right.  Our Battipalgia elders are in the middle.  Elder  Carr is second from the left and he is our district leader.  He does such a good job organizing and leading our district meetings each Monday.  He has been out about six months.  You can tell that he comes from a great family.  He has many other brothers wh have served missions.  He follows the spirit and testifys of the truth often.  Elder Taylor is short in height but is a giant in enthusiasm and spirit.  Elder Taylor is from Idaho Falls. He goes home in two months. We really like both of our elders and hope they both get to stay after this next week's transfer.  Elder Taylor has a younger brother who has just left on a mission to Washington state.  That reminded me of a couple of our boys who didnt see each other for almost four years. Roland and Mike, and Dan and Tommy.  Elder Taylor said he has been to Afton's Fourth of July parade many times.  We showed him the YouTube of the Star Valley welcome home to our girls and boys basketball teams who both won the state championship last week.  The fire engines going down main street with all the cheer leaders and team players riding on top, was fun for us to watch.
Congratulations to all the kids from Star Valley.  We are very proud of you!
On the way back from Casttledemmare we stopped for a picture of the Amalfi coast.  It was kind of rainy and so these pictures are a little dark.  I will try to take some more another day.  A man came up to me as I was taking pictures.  Paul spoke with him for quite a bit.  I ran back to the car and got a Book of Mormon out, to give to him.  When I offered it to him, he quickly said no that he didn't want it.  I felt bad that he didnt want it, but Paul talked with him another ten minutes or so and they had a good exchange.  So here is a picture of the person who I tried to give my first Book of Mormon to.  I am sorry it didn't work out, but  I did try.


Here are a few more pictures of the pretty town right on the coast below us.
