Italian FHE at Young's

Saturday after I had been out and came back home, Lenore told me that Michelle Young had called and said and Italian Saint was here visiting in town and would we like to come over for a Family Home Evening Monday night. Lenore couldn't remember who it was. So, I was a little surprised to arrive monday night and find Giuseppe Pasta. You would think that Lenore could remember the name "Pasta."
We had an enjoyable evening with Brother and Sister Pasta and the Burrups, Ashbys, Bensons and Youngs.
I most likely met Brother Pasta on mymission when I was in Torino, before he moved to near Bergamo.
Brother Pasta told us how things were going in Italy. He has served as the Church Public Relations head for some time. He has previously served as Stake and mission President. Last June he was at Palazzo Chigi for the signing of an agreement that further formalizes the Church's standing in Italy. This is one of the hurdles that needs to be cleared before a Temple can be built there. It still needs to be retified by Parliament. He said that there really aren't enough members attending the Madrid and Swiss temples right now to warrant a temple in Italy. Most of the people who attend the Swiss temple are Italians.
