Jose Rotellini, Sculptor

His parents also live in the same ward. Both Bishop Rotellini and his father, Jose Rotellini, are sculptors. Yesterday we were given a guided tour of some of his sculptures around the city.

Skousens recently arrived from Flagstaff, Arizona. They were the Mickleson's neighbors and now live in what we think of as the Mickleson's apartment. They also have the same mission call as the Mickelson's: auditors.
