Went to a 5+ hour Stake Primary Activity today
I've seen Outer Darkness.
It was a French holiday today so the Stake decided to take it from us. Typically French: a grand idea, way too much talking and lecturing, 4 hours too long, boring, generally disorganized, a few moments of "very good," and plenty of dehumanizing discipline and corporal punishment. There were even some white French children made up in black face. You don't see that everyday. (That said, black face in France really isn't what it is in the U.S.)

Sorry to hear that.
How soon until you're liberated from the clutches of the French and able to return home to the only true country on the face of the earth?

As much as I love Italy and know that it contains much truth, it still doesn't have all the truth.
USA! USA! USA! Hyper-patriotism is a way of life for me.

Well at least Italy doesn't play baseball, it has that for it.

Most would go to a soccer stadium, but baseball is picking up speed in Italy.
