Stefano felt like first class when the steward offered him a lemon wedge with his drink. Doesn't he look first class?
So I was bragging in Elders Quorum about Ally's amazing Italian cooking when they ended up asking us to teach the Elders Quorum how to make a complete Italian meal...luckily, Ally was very accommodating and here we are!
San Francisco was incredible! We fell in love with this beautiful city.
A windy day in Washington D.C.
There were many moments, during our courtship, that we felt that we weren't going to make it. There were many obstacles that we encountered and had to face that, at times, made things very difficult. I know that there were times that we wanted to give up, but, thanks to Heavenly Father's guidance and support, I feel that we finally were able to make everything work. So many things strengthened us and helped us know that we were doing the right thing. I was blessed to have an amazing job at Societe Generale that helped pay for all of our housing expenses. Ally was able to teach English in various schools. We were able to live modestly in our little apartment in Muggio'. I studied, with Ally’s help, to pass the TOEFL and did. I was then able to apply and get accepted to BYU. Thanks to a lot of help from Ally’s grandpa, I was able to get a Visa and become a permanent resident. We were both able to find great jobs when we moved to America, especially Ally working at the Center for Women and Children in Crisis as the Rape Crisis Team Coordinator. Her job took her to some neat cites on business trips (Washington DC, San Francisco, Long Beach) and I got to come along for the ride. Through all of these blessings, we realized that they couldn't have happened on their own. If it hadn't been for Heavenly Father's hand in our lives we wouldn't have made it to where we are today. We are so grateful for all of our blessings.
