Incoming and Outgoing Missionaries - May 2017

We welcome our new missionaries.
Believe the following:

As an authorized representative of Jesus Christ, you can 
teach people with power and authority that 
"redemption cometh through the Holy Messiah," 
and that no one 
"can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through 
the merits, mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah. 
(2 Nephi 2:6,8).

As your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ grows,
your desire to share the gospel will increase.  
You will feel, as Lehi did, the "great ... importance to
make these things known unto the
inhabitants of the earth"  (2 Nephi 2:8)

This is a great day!
New missionaries are arriving! 
We are prepared and excited to meet them.
Lets go!
(Sometimes we have a bit of fun also.)

Our "meet and greet" group below.  
We make certain this is a welcoming time.
The challenging logistics of this day are taken care
 of by this great team of Anziani.  
They are capable, dedicated and so very hard working.

Thank you!


Arrivi!




 From the airport and directly on
to the great Duomo of Milan.  
We share the gospel as we go - 
everywhere we go.
















Every one of these missionaries said this was a 
frightening experience to share the gospel with 
strangers on their first day.  Each one 
said it was wonderful!


Trained and fed, the weary travelers willingly 
step forward in this new way of life.
Thank you for joining us in this sacred and important work.
The prayers and faith of many goes with you.


And then ...
we send a group home.


President Ezra Taft Benson taught:  
"We are commanded by God to take this gospel to all the world.
That is the cause that must unite us today.
Only the gospel will save the world from
the calamity of its own self-destruction.  Only
the gospel will bring joy, happiness, and salvation
to the human family".

Well done!  You will each be missed!
