New Missionaries Arrive & Duomo - Nov 2017

Remember the store of Moses
and the Children of Israel...
They wandered in the wilderness very much
dependent on the Lord for their daily sustenance...
...manna.
"it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like 
wafers made with honey."
~Exodus 16:31~

Our newest missionaries have joyfully accomplished
their exodus to the Italy Milan Mission,
and we certainly consider them a blessing... 
...like Manna.

The following are moments from their first day.
They were able to place 11 copies of The Book of Mormon
and received almost as many referral opportunities.
Manna is sweet.

 Enjoy!

 First arrivals on Tuesday from the Spain MTC
Anziano Ariante from Naples and Sorella Flores from Bolivia

 Welcome!

Welcome committee for our Provo MTC group.

 And they come!
Full of smiles and faith and high anticipation!




















First group on their way to Duomo.
The metro is a wonderful opportunity to find people to
invite to come unto Christ.














Pictures only give you a glimpse of the grandeur. 













Next group...
This time our proselyting will be contained to the metro.
I do not have pictures of all missionaries 
due to my inability to travel between metro cars.
They were ever bit the equal of the first group
and our success was not hampered by our limited opportunity.











Dinner time.
Ensalata, pizza, lasagne, gelato.







Now the day is over;
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Still across the sky.

Good night and God bless.

New Missionaries! November 2017

This post will be quick.
We have received our wonderful new missionaries
and look forward to serving with them.
They are with their new companions and are on their way
to their first area.
More pictures will follow.
I just wanted to let you know they are safely here
and doing very, very well.
Just a little tired... but happy.
We love them all!


They are happy and well.
More to come!

Benvenuto Presidente Mossimo Botta!

Exciting news!
Presidente Massimo Botta has accepted the call 
and been set apart
to serve as a counselor to President Allen in
the Italy Milan Mission.

Presidente Botta was recently released as 
President of the Verona Italy Stake
and we are looking forward to having his expertise
added to the strength of this mission.


President Botta is a Family Counselor
and a carpenter of fine furniture.
He and his wife are parents of five children
and live in the Bergamo area.


Sorella Botta is currently assisting with housing contracts
for our missionaries and will continue in that effort.  
She is an institute teacher 
and, we have recently discovered, a very fine cook
and talented in embroidery handiwork.

We are indeed blessed
and will enjoy serving with them.

Benvenuti!
