L'Aquila, Italy - Earthquake Fund
We want to thank you all for your kindness, concern and willingness to help those who have been affected by the L'Aquila earthquake. The church is very involved (as they always are) in helping those who have lost their homes and other personal things. After communication with the local priesthood leaders, we have been counseled that the best way for you to help would be to donate money on Sunday, in your ward/branch, on a regular Donations Slip. Place the contribution under OTHER and write 'L'Aqulia, Italy - Earthquake Fund'. Any donations other than money would be difficult to get into the area right now, but with the money, local leaders can purchase the items that are needed! Please continue to keep Italy in your prayers, together with missionary work, the building of the Rome Temple and for those in L'Aquila! Lord bless you all and GRAZIE! President & Sister Pacini
Vogliamo ringraziare tutti voi per la gentilezza, la preoccupazione e la volontà di aiutare coloro che sono stati colpiti dal terremoto a L'Aquila. La chiesa è molto impegnato (come sempre) per aiutare coloro che hanno perso le loro case e altre cose personali. Dopo aver communicato con i dirigenti locali si raccomanda che il miglior modo per aiutare sarebbe donare soldi attraverso il proprio rione/ramo uttilizando il cedolino (donation slip) normale per le offerte. Dove il cedolino permette la possibilita’ donare ad una cosa speciale in fondo, si scrive “L’Aquila, Italy – Earthquake Fund.” Con il denaro i dirigenti del sacerdozio possono acquistare cose necessarie e consegnarle direttamente ai bisognosi. Vi preghiamo di continuare a preghare per l'Italia, il lavoro missionario, la costruzione del Tempio di Roma e per quelli a L'Aquila! Possa il Signore benedirvi sempre! GRAZIE! Presidente & Sorella Pacini

Da Giuseppe Pasta
Madrilena ed io siamo appena tornati da una visita al tempio svizzero di Berna. Durante questi giorni tutti i presenti hanno sempre pregato per il popolo dell'Abruzzo, e noi abbiamo ricordato in particolare i nostri fratelli e sorelle che si trovano in difficolta'. Io ho diretto tre sessioni di endowment e nel corso della preghiera all'altare ho pensato intensamente a loro con tanto amore. Giuseppe Pasta
Da Loredana De Feo...
Ciao a tutti, questo gruppo è veramente bello. Oltre ad essere un punto d'incontro per gli ex missionari ed i membri che hanno nel cuore il ricordo di quel periodo, si è mostrato tanto utile in questi ultimi giorni, a causa di quello che stà avvenendo all'Aquila. Voi avete potuto avere informazioni utili, e noi abbiamo sentito il vostro sostegno e le vostre preghiere. Voglio anche ringraziare quanti di voi mi stanno inviando le e-mails che domenica darò alle famiglie Hibo e Melone. E' una piccola cosa, ma sono certa che vedere che sono nel cuore di tante persone darà loro più forza.
Un saluto a tutti

A visit to L'Aquila
Da Loredana De Feo:
Volevo dirti come è andata la visita a L'Aquila. Le figlie di Hibo e Melone sono state felicissime di vedere Denise e Dalila, hanno passato del tempo insieme, hanno mostrato dove dormono, mangiano, la doccia ecc.tutto nelle tende. Gli hibo vanno a casa per prendere qualcosa ma è pericoloso. Le ragazze sono state felici dei regalini che Denise e Dalila hanno preparato per loro, erano serene. Denise è rimasta molto colpita da come stanno affrontando questa situazione, del fatto che la notte del terremoto, le ragazze dell'Aquila fossero preoccupate per quelle di Roma, infatti Arianna Hibo ha telefonato a Denise quella notte per essere sicura che stesse bene. Sono giovani speciali, hanno un grande amore l'una per l'altra, e sono grate, nonostante tutto, di come è andata. Un grande esempio da piccole donne.
From Loredana De Feo:
I want to tell you how the visit to L'Aquila went. The daughters of the Hibo's & Melone's were thrilled to see Denise & Dalila. They passed the time together, showing where they sleep, eat and shower, etc. everything's in the tent. The Hibo’s go to their house to get some of their things, but it is dangerous. The girls were happy with the gifts Denise and Dalila brought them, they are calm. Denise was very impressed by how they are addressing this situation, the fact that the night of the earthquake, the girls form L'Aquila were worried about those in Rome, infact, Arianna Hibo called Denise that night to be sure that everything was ok. These young people are special, they have great love for one another, and are grateful, nevertheless, of how things went. They are a great example of little women.

From Michele Calabrese:
Ciao Julie, this morning I heard brother Melone and Annamaria Hibo. They are ok. They also are grateful for the bretheren that yesterday went to L'Aquila to bring something necessary for this period of time. Today I know that Pres. De Feo e Brother Vardeu and their daughters are in L'Aquila to bring some comfort to them. I gave my help to have their daughters to my place but they said no because their daughters don't want to leave their parents.
All of them are in our prayers like your family and all the members in the world.

From Loredana DeFeo: We just learned that the roads are reopened. All Members in L'Aquila have found accommodation, the family Hibo chose to stay there, and remain together. We are talking with the family Melon, they too have chosen the same thing. They prefer to be assigned a tent, we respect their choice. We are ready to go. Thank you for your prayers.
Abbiamo appena saputo che le strade sono riaperte. Tutti i membri a L'Aquila hanno già trovato una sistemazione, la famiglia Hibo ha scelto di restare lì, e di restare tutti insieme. Stiamo parlando con la fam. Melone, anche loro hanno scelto la stessa cosa. Preferiscono farsi assegnare una tenda, rispettiamo la loro scelta, siamo pronti a partire. Grazie per le vostre preghiere.

One of President Pacini's Mission Presidents.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Radman family!
Ivan Radman 1928 ~ 2009 Ivan Radman passed away March 14, 2009 in the arms of his wife and children, blanketed in the love of 30 grandchildren, 19 great-grand-children and dear friends.Born, March 22, 1928 in Radmani on the Dalmatian Coast of Yugoslavia to Joseph Radman and Natalia Stefanic, Ivan learned early the value of dedication to task, wisdom in choice as well as the perils of totalitarianism. His young years were spent tending the family's farm and animals as well as serving in their small village grocery store. World War II brought turmoil and destruction to their region with friends and family members suffering the ravages of war. Forced from his family and homeland in his teens as a political refugee, Ivan sought asylum in Italy for the duration of the war before migrating to Australia in 1949 on a program for displaced persons. Ivan met and married the love of his life, Janet Tredrea, whose love has enriched their 56 wondrous years together. They were subsequently sealed in the Logan temple for time and all eternity. Six children were born to their union, Peter, Martin, Jordan, Donna (Smylie), JoAnne (Crook), Bronte (Clarke). Ivan became a member of the LDS church in 1952 and has engaged in faithful service as a home teacher, bishop, mission president of the Italy Milan mission and the New Zealand Christchurch mission, as well as many other callings. Ivan cherished his experiences with his missionaries and has held dear in his heart each one individually. His love of, and devotion to gospel principles has been the cornerstone of his life. In 1978 Ivan, Janet and family moved to the United States, settled in Salt Lake City, built a home, started a family business and eventually became proud US citizens. Ivan embraced life with enthusiasm, boundless energy, abiding respect for his fellow man, unwavering confidence in the resiliency of the human spirit and indomitable passion in all his endeavors. He loved sports, especially tennis and squash. In all his pursuits, Ivan brought his best game, a generosity of spirit, relentless effort and determination. He taught by example, inspired through actions and encouraged with exhortation and compassion. His greatest joy came through interaction with his family, friends and associates. Ivan loved life, lived each day to its fullest, always maintained a sense of humor through adversity and rose to meet every challenge. He will be dearly missed. The family extends a special thanks to the doctors and nurses of the ICU at SL Regional Medical Center. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 21 at 12 p.m. at the LDS Mount Olympus 2nd Ward located at 3862 E. Oakview Drive (4342 S). Friends may call Friday, March 20 from 6-8 p.m. at Memorial Mortuary, 5850 S. 900 E. Burial will be in Holladay Memorial Park, 4900 Memory Lane (1900 E.)

From Anziano De Mattos - an update on his little girl
Carissimi Presidente e Sorella Pacini:
Come state? Appena tornato al lavoro vi scrivo per darvi delle notizie sulla piccola Costanza.
Venerdì scorso le hanno fatto un' eco doppler per misurare il funzionamento del cuoricino e dei polmoni. Ci siamo sentiti molto benedetti quando il cardiologo ci ha detto che la situazione non è gravissima. Da adesso in poi dovremo soltanto controllare lo sviluppo e la crescita della bimba. Se continua a crescere senza problemi non faranno niente, almeno per il momento.
I problemi sono:
Ci sono delle comunicazioni tra le auricole e tra i ventricoli, inoltre una delle valvole ( quella dell'arteria polmonare) non funzina del tutto bene. Niente però comporta un rischio di vita. Attualmente i problemi cardiaci non provocano una maggior pressione ai polmoni. In chiesa sono stato chiamato consigliere nel vescovato. È una grandissima opportunità di progresso. Nel nostro quartiere c'è il presidente di palo e l'Anziano Etchegaray, Settanta Autorità di Area, la cui presenza alle lezioni del sacerdozio e della Scuola Dominicale ci arricchisce sempre.
Ia prima domenica di gennaio abbiamo fatto la benedizione di Costanza e abbiamo scattato la fotografia che vi spedisco. Vi voglio ringraziare per le vostre preghiere e per la fede di tanti cari amici aggiunta in favore di Costanza.
Vi voglio tanto bene. Un forte abbraccio a tutti,
Alberto

PRAYERS FOR ANZIANO DE MATTOS' BABY GIRL
We wanted to share with you this email
that we just received from Alberto,
please keep Costanza in your prayers!
Carissimi Presidente e Sorella Pacini,
Salve! Come vanno le cose? Spero molto bene. Ho visto salla pagina della missione il vostro bell'albero di natale. Che meraviglia!
Vi scrivo per chiedervi una cosa molto importante. Come sapete il 29 ottobre (26 giorni fa, se non sbaglio il calcolo) è nata mia figlia Costanza. Fino a giovedì scorso andava tutto bene. Giovedì l'abbiamo portata dal medico e lì hanno scoperto che ha qualche problema al cuore. Non sappiamo ancora quale sia il problema. Dobbiamo fare degli accertamenti per stabilirne la gravità e sapere quale sarà la condotta a seguire: lasciare stare, usare dei medicinali oppure operare. In questi giorni aspettiamo per poter fare quegli accertamenti, che speriamo saranno entro la fine del mese o in linea di massima i primi di dicembre. Nel frattempo vi chiedo di unirvi noi in preghiera affinché Costanza possa guarire e possa andare tutto bene. Siamo consapevoli che comunque vadano le cose si farà la volontà di Dio. E anche preghiamo per poter accettarla se essa non si rivelasse come noi ce l'aspettiamo. Noi preghiuamo per la sua guarigione e confidiamo che le cose andranno per il meglio.
Io so che la fede apre le porte del cielo, non abbiamo visto tanti miracoli accadere?

To our dear family & friends,
We write this to you with great excitement and thanks to our Father in Heaven for answering all of our prayers! We were thrilled when we heard the announcement that a Temple will be built in Rome, Italy!
Ironically, we were probably the last to hear about it as we are presently in Indonesia, on the island of Bali. We spent a week with our son Joseph and his family in Hong Kong (where they live). Their children are out of school, so we all came here to Bali for a vacation. It has been wonderful, topped off with this great news!
President Monson made the announcement while we were sleeping and upon waking, Joseph asked if we had heard the news. We didn’t know what he was referring to, he then said that Aaron had emailed us, but we hadn’t checked our emails and then Joseph told us about the news of a Temple to be built in Rome. Craig’s arm went up into the air and he said “YES”! Then we were all filled with emotion as the reality of this news came to us, something we have been praying for for many years, has come to pass! Later, in the evening, we down loaded President Monson’s talk and once again, we were filled with emotions as we heard him announce that a Temple will be built in Rome, Italy!
We are thrilled for the Saints in Italy and know this will be a great blessing to Italy, as well as to the world. This Temple will serve the Italian people and the whole Mediterranean area, as well as the Middle East. Many lives will be touched and blessed because of it!
Since leaving Italy (over 6 years ago) we have seen the spirituality of the Italian people grow, as a Stake was organized a few years ago, and now a Temple will be built in Rome.
We were thankful to all of you who wrote to us and told us of your experience as you heard the announcement. You will eventually receive an email from us, but at the moment I (Julie) am unable to have my emails send out, though I am receiving them. I am not sure what is happening, but know that you will eventually hear from us! Thanks also, to those who called, Ashley and Benjamin told us of the many phone calls!
This is what Barbara Ventura wrote to us about hearing the announcement at church in Rome:
"Sister Pacini...can you believe it? Oh I wish you all could have been here with us...that you could have seen and heard our astonishment turning in joy.. hear the shouting of joy...everyone emotional and smiling and crying...and running out of the room to call on the phones all those that weren't there...I can't express what I felt, I don't know how to explain the heart stop beating and being there in a limbo for what it seemed an everlasting second... and then starting to beat happily crazy...the time it took to be able to breathe again...We have been blessed with the miracle we have been praying for so long...The work of the Lord is going forth and nothing will stop it….Love, Barbara"
Thank you Barbara, it was so fun to read what you wrote and to feel the joy of the Italian members!
Tomorrow we will return to Hong Kong and then we join up with a tour group and go into China for 2 ½ weeks. From there will return to Hong Kong to spend some more time with Joseph, Rosie, Joshua, William and Elizabeth, before returning home.
We are having a wonderful time and seeing the beautiful creations of our Father in Heaven. We are on the island of Bali, possibly the only members of the church here, if there are others they are small in number, we couldn’t find them! There are 3 million people on this small island and I know that Our Father in Heaven loves each of them as much as He loves us. I know that they need the Gospel in their lives and with a Temple now to be in Rome, it is another evidence that the Gospel is going to the world. Someday there might be a Temple here in Indonesia. It is a wonderful thought that there is at this time a Temple in what was once East Germany and there is one in China, Hong Kong. The Lord moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. It is up to us to be good examples and to live the Gospel to the best of our abilities, and then blessings come and touch the lives of the Saints and bless the world!
Lord bless you all and know of our love for you!

Abram Antonucci asks for your prayers:
Recently my father was working construction on his job site and fell off a roof and landed on his neck. Fortunately my brother was nearby and was able to perform CPR and brought him back to life long enough for the paramedics to asssist him and life flight him to a hospital. He received serious damage to his spine and was temporarily paralzed. We still do not the extent of damage. He has some feeling in his legs and can move them a little. The power of the priesthood is responsible for keeping him alive. If you can please let my fellow missionaries and Italian families know of his condition and remember him in their prayers. He is the strongest physical and spiritual man I know and he has a lot to live for. His accident has already touched many lives and will touch many more. His name is John Anthony Antonucci, he is a son of Italian immigrants to this country. He will walk again.

Anziano Nathan Scott Von Niederhausern
12/30/1977 ~ 8/29/2008 Nathan Scott VonNiederhausern, 30, a remarkable young man, was called home early, Aug. 29, 2008, after a courageous battle with unexplained lung cancer. He was born December 30, 1977 in Salt Lake City, UT to Richard Scott and Esther Sharp VonNiederhausern. He was raised in West Jordan, UT and graduated from West Jordan High School. He was an active member of the L.D.S. Church throughout his life. Fulfilled a mission 1997-1999 to Rome, Italy. He was currently serving as Elders' Quorum President in his ward. Worked for Otto Bock Co. Married Kristy Carlile March 23, 2001 for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. Nathan was a quiet, unassuming, gentle, kind, friendly person, quick to learn and willing and ready to serve others. He was a good-natured tease with a great sense of humor. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, reading, building things for his family, artistic painting, and, most of all, spending time with his wife and two sweet sons. He was an Eagle scout who lived the scout oath, slogan, laws, and motto to a "t" and endured nobly until the end. He was certainly always prepared in life and for death as well. He had a strong testimony of the Plan of Salvation and of the Savior Jesus Christ. He is survived by his loving wife, Kristy, sons Casey (3) and Clayton (1), his father and mother; brothers and sisters: Bryce (Karlene), Bountiful, UT; Anthony (Lauri), Logan, UT; Cameron, and Melissa (Peter) Houston, West Jordan, UT; LaDawn (Jeffrey) Vermeeren, Calgary, Canada; Kristy's father and mother: Lonnie & Sue Carlile; and her brothers and sisters: Carie (Chris) Landell; Kale (Jennifer) Carlile; Ken (Kim) Carlile; and 20 nieces and nephews who will miss Uncle Nate. Funeral services will be held Wed. Sept. 3rd at 11 a.m. at the Hillsdale LDS Ward building located at 3175 S. 3450 W. where a viewing will be held 9:45 -10:45 a.m. prior to the services and Tues. night 6-8 p.m. Burial will be in the Taylorsville Cemetery located at 4500 S. Redwood Rd. In lieu of flowers, contributions could be made at any Zions Bank location in his name. GOODBYE, NATHAN, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL EXAMPLE. WE LOVE YOU.
