My companion and I had a field trip today...

We drove to SLC so he could speak with the Italian Consolate 

He was excited for the change of scenery, the outing and mostly the opportunity to meet a few people from his District.

the Missionaries headed to Italy, they are split into two districts...

These are just the ones who live within an hour of SLC

The two boys on the left are from Kaysville, then we have Sandy (he's going to Milan) Then one sister from Cache Valley (not sure where the other one is from) and then the two Elders next to Carson are from Lehi and Lindon.

We hear there are about 40 missionaries, who have been reassigned earlier, waiting to get into Italy...

Italy is open, but they don't have the apartment space for all of them at once.

So, we will be patient, but it sounds like it will only be a transfer or two in Kansas, then he's off to ITALY

We have been sampling as many Italian restaurants in the area as we can.

This one was Brio Italian Grille in City Creek!

Good food, yummy warm chocolate cake at the end.
