  • Elder Massimo De Feo: ‘Welcome to the Lord’S Temple in Rome’
    Elder Massimo De Feo: ‘Welcome to the Lord’s Temple in Rome’ Elder Massimo De Feo and his wife, Loredana Galeandro, pose for photos at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City Monday, April 4, 2016. April 3, 2016, will forever be a historic day for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints in Italy. For the first time, one of their own was called to be a senior Church leader. While Elder Massimo De Feo’s recent assignment as a General Authority Seventy signaled a key moment in Church history, his own introduction to the Church was far more commonplace. When missionaries knocked on the De Feo family’s door in Taranto in 1970, 9-year-old Massimo and his older brother Alberto were taught the gospel and were later baptized. While Massimo and Alberto’s parents never joined the Church, they were supportive of their sons as they became active in their new faith. “Our parents never accepted the gospel, but they felt it was good and they felt good about their two children growing up in the gospel with good principles,” Elder De Feo said. Alberto and Massimo’s beliefs were challenged outside the home. They were the only members in their school in a community with deep Catholic roots and centuries-old traditions. The brothers made it a point to avoid contention and looked for opportunities to explain The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with others. Although the Church in Taranto was small, Massimo said leaders, teachers and youth advisers always made him feel he belonged.

    PIONEERS IN EVERY LAND LATTER-DAY SAINTS IN A LEGACY Italy OF FAITH By Lia McClanahan he history of the Church in Italy begins in New Testament times, when the capital of the Roman Empire was home to a group of faithful Christians. T The Bible doesn’t record who originally took the gospel to Rome, but a branch of the Church had been there for “many years” (Romans 15:23) when the Apostle Paul sent a letter to the Romans in about a.d. 57. Paul described the Christians in Rome as “full of goodness” (15:14). He was acquainted with some of them, and his epistle contained a long list of beloved Saints to whom he sent greetings (see 16:1–15). Paul extolled the faith of those Christians and told them that he prayed fervently for them. He longed to see them and hoped God would grant that he might visit them soon (see 1:8–15). When he did at last go to Rome, it was as a prisoner, but the Church members’ anticipation of his arrival was such that some of the brethren traveled 43 miles (69 km) to meet him at the Appii forum. Seeing them, “he thanked God, and took cour- age” (Acts 28:15). Later, Paul suffered martyrdom in Rome, where Christians were severely perse- cuted by Nero and other emperors. Eventually the Church fell into apostasy, but the early Roman Saints left a legacy of faith at the center of the empire, setting the stage for Christianity to spread throughout the world.

We were the products of war-weary parents who themselves had been children of the Depression era. But the end of the war signaled a period of economic growth and development that put the United States on track to be the world’s richest and most powerful nation. We grew up in a time of plenty and our parents continued to expand our families for almost two more decades. Thus we became the “baby boomers” – a term first seen in an article in the Washington Post in 1970 – and therefore we were named and classified. We had power from the get-go, in terms of sheer numbers, wealth, and educational achievement. We have been described as a swallowed pig moving through a boa constrictor, changing the shape and perspective of the host. Our generation was seen as living in a Norman Rockwell world.

  • Temple Gives US
    THE Temple Gives US By Jean B. Bingham Relief Society General President ome of our most vivid and significant memories of living in the midwestern United States as young parents are of yearly visits to the temple in Washington, D.C. At the time, it was the only Stemple in operation east of the Mississippi River. Knowing that temple ordinances are essential for all of Heavenly Father’s children gave a sense of urgency to our efforts. Like many of you, we arranged for friends to care for our small children, traveled through the night with a busload of fellow mem­ bers, spent a couple of precious days doing as much temple work as we could, and then rode the bus home through the night so we could attend our Church meetings on Sunday. Those trips did not seem to be sacrifices; they were cherished because of the spiritual uplift that fed our souls for months afterward. A few years later, we were thrilled to welcome the Chicago Illinois Temple, the first temple built in the North America Central Area since the Cardston Alberta Temple 62 years earlier. With a temple only 45 minutes from our home, it was a joy for us to attend more often than once a year and to receive that spiritual food on a regular basis. Yet today, though some of us live within closer reach of a temple, we may still find it difficult to attend frequently. It may be that the easier availability of a temple lulls us into thinking, “I’ll go tomorrow, when I have more time.” It is easy to become distracted by immediate pressures and let more important opportunities slide away.
