We are back, here is Rome, Italy

We are finally back, and I am so happy to be home! I missed eating my food and having laundry done. Here are some pictures of our fews days in Rome before our cruise. I really did not care much for Rome, very dirty. At one point a taxi driver refused to take us to our hotel which was 10 blocks away. They told us to walk with all our bags and kids. I was not happy, but we walked. I lost all feels for taxi drivers after that until the end of our trip. We, as in someone in our family, left our bag with the kids and my passports in a taxi driver car. With no faith they will return our bag, I paniced! This was the night before we were expected to fly back home! First thing Dane said, lets say a prayer. My testimony of the priesthood has grown so much. Dane went outside our hotel and waited for the taxi driver to return. After what seemed to be 1 hour, I walked outside to tell Dane to come inside, no hope. As I got out to see him by the road, there was the taxi driver with our bag with everything in it giving it to Dane. I just started to cry! Dane offered him 20 euros for bring it back, and he refused it. There are good people out there! I am really thankful to have Dane in my life to show me these little priesthood miracles. It is hard to explain this all in a blog, but I hope you understand. Here are some pictures.

I'm so glad that you got your stuff back. It was a blessing, for sure.
