New Missionaries Arrive! (Feb 2018)

It's an unusually beautiful in Milan 
for February.
The sun is shining, the weather mildly cool
and our new missionaries are arriving.
We first receive two from the MTC in Spain
and then the next day all go to welcome "home"
the seven coming from the Provo MTC.
Even after the long journey they are smiling 
and anxious to do what they came to do...
"Preach repentance and baptize converts".


Now - some excerpts from the moment they arrive.
Our Spain MTC missionaries




The next day we return to receive our Provo MTC group.

One last picture before they go.


Another group has arrived safe and sound.
They came to be missionaries.
they were given great trainers to help them
do their best.
We are looking forward to serving with your 
sons and daughters in the Lord's beautiful Italian vineyard.
Thank you for your continues love, prayers and support.
We have a family saying that comes from Shakespeare....

"It's work, but it's good work"
(and then we add)
"because it's the Lord's work"
