Conference in Rome with Elder Bednar

Yeah dad gave me the update on Ian and his robotics team! It’s crazy how
good they did and I’m so proud of him! Sounds like you did really good
in your 10k run! That’s seriously so awesome! I’m sure you will do just
as good in the marathon run too! Idk what else to really comment on
now. I’m so tired, I didn’t sleep a lot last night cuz we took a night
train down from Rome to Palermo and like, yeah, I didn’t sleep a lot haha
and I played Frisbee today cuz i got the Frisbee :) so I’m like super
tired so I’ll give you the update on the Conference.

So Monday they flew us up to Rome. We left and it was sunny and blue
skies in Palermo but 45 min later we were trying to land in Rome. I
say try because we didn’t get the landing on the first try. There was a
huge rain storm and the turbulence was so crazy! We were coming in
for the first landing and like 500 feet from the ground the pilot
threw the thrusters on full and we almost went straight up into the
air. I was like " well guess we aren’t landing right now" and then at
the top of the climb the plane went into a 6 second stall which felt
like going down the first big drop on a roller coaster except on a
plane. It was an experience. After we landed the pilot was like
talking to us and he was breathing like he just ran a 5K. It was cool
hahahahahah but after that it was good! The next day was the
conference and it was so amazing in every aspect. Bednar was amazing!
He was very chill with us but also very spiritual. He bore testimony
about how proud he is of every senior couple missionary that is
serving and the spirit was soooo crazy strong when he did that
everyone was just jaw dropped or balling. Seriously, so good. After the
conference, though we walked around Rome a lil bit before we took the
overnight train home to Palermo. We went and saw all the cool sights,
even though it was pouring rain it was an experience but I’m happy to
be back in Sicily! I love it here!

Well that’s pretty much it for this week! I’ll email you again on Monday
when p-day goes back to normal! I love you all so much!
