Rome Mormon Temple

The current Mission President in the Rome, Italy area is President Jeffrey Acerson, from Lindon Utah.  He himself served as a missionary in the Italy Milan and Italy Padova Missions.

Prior to his calling to preside over Saints and friends of other faiths in the Rome area, President Acerson served as a counselor in the Lindon Stake Presidency (a stake is an area that includes multiple wards or congregations of believers).    While serving as counselor, without pay, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do, Jeff Acerson also worked as Mayor of the Lindon City.

President Acerson shared in one of his final meetings as counselor in Lindon, his impressions through the Spirit, that this sacred call was imminent.  Those feelings were ratified when the actual call from the leaders of the Church came to him and was extended in the presence of himself and his wife, Karen.

Karen has served in many capacities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (”Mormon” church), including as counselor in the local women’s organization, or Relief Society, and as President over the young women of her stake.  Karen is originally from Moab, Utah.
