Jordan and Lindsey Wingate




Lindsey and Jordan live in our Sigonella Branch.  They opted to live off- base in a little city called Costasaracena-Castelluccio, a charming little hamlet between Sigonella and Syracusa. They do not have an address, Lindsey dropped a pin on my phone so we could find their house. They live right on the beach and have the luxury of a black sand beach on one side of their house from the volcanic ash and also a regular pebble beach on another side of the house.  Their house is exactly like a house you see in a European movie; similar to  the “Mama Mia” Italian houses.  A good choice from the base-housing complex.  It takes about 25 minutes to get to work each morning from their house.

Jordan is an Air Force pilot by profession but is here on NAS Sigonella as a NATO RQ4 RPA(remote pilot aircraft).  Currently there are only a few actual RPAs assigned to Sigonella, so Jordan spends large chunks of his time writing regulations coordinating with the Italian Government and the NATO agreements.  He is doing the NATO set up foundation to prepare for the squadron of RPAs that will eventually arrive at NAS Sigonella.  Jordan calls Bangor, Main home.

Lindsey grew up in Southern California and Oregon.  She met Jordan in Oregon just before she left to serve her mission in Brazil.  Jordan joined the church while Lindsey was gone and they were married after she returned. She finished up her degree from the University of North Dakota where their first station was Minot AFB.  NAS Sigonella is their first PCS together. Lindsey is currently the Field Office Assistant for the Red Cross at Sigonella.

Lindsey is the organist/piano specialist in our branch and Jordan teaches Gospel Doctrine.  They introduced us to the best pizza place ever in Carlentini!

Pistachio and white chocolate  dessert pizza!

Kitchen and cooks work hard at keeping the pace of delicious orders.
