Roma - 4

One of the dangers of using self-timer.

It was so funny. We were all planning to go swimming at this gorgeous lake. When Jeffery came to pick us up he was wearing normal clothes so we were like, “where are we going?”. He then took us to this gorgeous village on this hill. This is not a place many tourist go because it is far from Rome and hard to get to but it was amazing. We took a look around and enjoyed every part of it.

This is one of many views from the top. How cool would that be to wake up to this every morning? This is their backyard.

This place was great. Even though it was a very hot Italian summer outside, down here in the wine cellar it felt like it was heavily air conditioned. We need to build a room like this onto our house in St. George.

Oh, Jeffrey. And look how happy he is about it:

Jeffery is the man!

So I did this back flip without stretching my ankles which kind of left them stinging. All of a sudden I hear this Italian yell, “Do it again! Do it again!” He had his camera out so of course I had to do it one more time. The second time felt the same way but it was worth it to please my Italian brotha.

We had a contest to see who could throw the fruit the farthest. Try and find it in the photo! It was hard to judge the distance of our throws, but naturally we can just assume that I won.

This was my first Gelato in Italy! It was so good.

Dima is the craziest driver. He is worse than Spencer which I thought was impossible. I would just have to sit in the back and close my eyes and once in awhile pray so that I would live. If you notice in this picture, the speed limit is 50. Dima made the excuse that he thought it said 70. Well even if it was 70 check out how fast he was going in the next picture….

Jeffrey was on edge the entire time! haha. Eventually he traded me seats because he couldn’t handle sitting in the front. I was already used to it because I served with Dima in Gela and we had a car there. He drives really fast, but it’s safe.

This is one of Zac Zabriskies companions. He talked up my homie Zac and said he loved serving with him. We also talked about how Zac always kept us in line. Joseph was also the Zone Leader to my cousin Sam.

The whole purpose of this meal was to watch Portugal play the Czech Republic. Ronaldo scored, life is good.

His name is Jeffrey, he speaks English, Spanish, Italian and a few other languages. He’s a return missionary, and he’s single. If you want his contact information, shoot me an e-mail

We ran into Sorella Askew again!! (Caitlin..) That was fun! Unfortunately we didn’t see her until the end of our trip (just like last time. lol) Oh well, I’m sure we’ll find her again and hopefully have time to hang out.

  1. Clark,
    You waited until day 4 in Rome to have your first Gelato? Big mistake. I think we had it every day when were there. So good.
    I think Dima might be related to the Andrettis. What a great guy.
    Love the couchsurfing shirt in the last picture. haha
