Does anyone have the lyrics to Called to Serve in Italian? Our Young Men are going to sing it in three languages and I wanted them to sing it in Italian if we can find the words. If you have the words or can lead me in the right direction, please let me know. drewsparks@gmail.com

Anziano Mark McCurdy was my first companion in Italy. I know he's from Portland, OR and last I heard he was there in Portland working as a Physical Therapist. If anyone has any additional info, I'd appreciate it.

My first missionary companion, Michela Zuin Botta is the choir director in her ward in Bergamo and is searching for the Italian translation for the song, "I’ll find you my Friend." If anyone has that or has the ability translate it, I'm sure Michela would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

To ALL Italy Catania Mission Alumni!:
Cari Anziani e Sorelle,
My name is Patti Landes Adams and I served in the Italy Catania Mission from January 1980 to July 1981. Yes, that was a long time ago, and some of the few things that have not faded from my memory are my memories of the dear people in Italy and the amazing missionaries with whom I served.
The one thing that most people who visit this site have in common is that they served as a missionary in the Italy Catania Mission. You may have returned weeks ago, or decades ago. The other commonality we all share is that we left behind a people we grew to love as we shared with them the message of the restored gospel. Some were baptized; some were not. But we loved them anyway.
Many years ago President Lorenzo Snow dedicated the land of Italy for proselyting and said that it would one day blossom as a rose. We have not seen this blossoming like the countries of South America have enjoyed. Although Italy is growing, it is not growing as fast as it could. This is also true in Catania. President Gambarotto told me once that the mission would grow when an entire generation would be raised in the Church and then serve missions. This is happening frequently. The problem is that many of these young people who will be great leaders are moving to the larger wards in the north, probably mainly for economic reasons. The other challenge in the mission is that so many members go inactive, either succumbing to familial pressure, or weakened enthusiasm or isolation when their missionary goes home.
We cannot do much about what is happening with members moving away. People must make a living. But we can do something about families who have gone inactive - maybe.
Project: Rose Blossom has been created as a way for you to help the Italy Catania Mission to blossom as a rose. We have spoken with President Bryan Colton, current president of the mission, and he has agreed to assist us in this endeavor. Here is the project.
We are asking willing alumni (You are not former missionaries, only “released from full-time service missionaries”), to do the following:
1. Look in your journals, mission notes, minds, and hearts, to find the names of the people you taught and baptized. For now, the focus will be on baptized contacts unless you can provide an address of former contacts.
2. Write them a letter telling them what it meant to you to be a part of their conversion. Then share your testimony and any other message you would like to share. Ask them to reply and stay in touch with you. You may ask if they are attending Church, and if not, invite them back. Express your love for them, the Savior, and the gospel. Include a picture if possible - one of you and them, and a current one of you. Do not worry if you do not still speak Italian. We have others who have returned more recently who are willing to translate your letter. We do want to send your original letter with the translation.
3. On your envelope, write the person’s name, the city where they lived when you knew them, and the approximate date when they were baptized. You don’t need an address (unless you have one). We will do the rest.
3. Send your letter (or letters - we hope you write several) to:
Operation: Rose Blossom
c/o Pauline Clayson
1228 East Bridle Trail Rd.
Draper, UT 84020
(Pauline is the mother of an anziano currently serving as a Zone Leader in Malta.)
She will place it in a new envelope with a correct address, sort everyone’s letter, and forward them to the appropriate missionaries, who will then deliver your letter personally. This will be a gift from you to the Italian member, will help current missionaries invite inactive members back to Church, and will possibly open the door for part-member families to be open to hearing the gospel from the full-time missionaries.
We hope you will choose to participate. We also need more missionaries who are willing to translate letters from English to Italian. And for those of you who have lost the language, you might just want to drag out that purple LTM/MTC grammar book. When the mission blossoms, (and it will) you may be needed to go back to Italy with your spouse. Che pensiero dolce!
Buon lavoro e buoni battesimi!
IMPORTANT: Please email me to update your personal information so that we can stay in touch with you. Also, forward this on to anyone you know who served in the great Italy Catania Mission. If you feel so inspired, a donation of $10 will allow us to purchase postage to contact alumni. All time and other resources are being donated. Mille grazie!!!! Mail donations to

We had a young lady from Bologna come in to our ward yesterday. Her name is Ermira. She is in Utah taking an English course until August so she can apply to BYU. Her host family kicked her out and left her in a Mexican home that was very abusive. She doesn't understand much English but needs a place to stay so she can finish her class. She is also looking for a job so she isn't just freeloading on anyone.
Ideally we are looking for a family in Provo who speaks English but understands Italian that can host her. I know this is quite a request, but right now she is staying with a single sister - who doesn't speak Italian - here in Eagle Mountain. We would like to get her closer to Provo and in a situation where she can work and learn English.
Please let me know if anyone can help.

Thanks,
Josh Sorensen (Catania '98 - '00)

I love reading what people post. But since there are only 5 messages, I'll try to plant a seed. I love the mission update. I want to know what's going on in the mission.
There is a sister missionary from my ward who is in the Catania Mission now. I loved telling her how cool Southern Italy is. She ate it up. And I loved that she ate it up. She'll be home in April and then it will be her turn to tell me how cool Southern Italy is.
