Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh

As I've mentioned before, Relief Society is in Italian in our ward. Occasionally we have a sister who will translate for us, but yesterday was not one of those days. So we, two of the American sisters, were excited when the teacher started playing a video of one of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's talks, delivered in his very American voice.

And then the teacher, who had apparently printed out a copy of the talk in Italian, started reading the talk in Italian. Reading right along with Elder Holland. Reading louder than Elder Holland. Making it very hard for us to hear Elder Holland giving his talk in the original English.

All we could do was look at each other and just laugh. That's church in Italy for you.
