June 28-29, 2014
We have been able to attend church in all of the Branches in the Calabria District excect for Reggio di Calabria. As soon as transfers were complete, we boarded a plane and flew to Reggio di Calabria where we spent two days with the senior couple assigned there. We spent one day sightseeing in the area and talking about what was going on in the Branch and how we could help them. We even attended a production put on by one of their English class students. The following day we spoke in church, had lunch with the members, and then flew back to Rome.
