Missionari di Ottobre

What a wonderful time of year in Italy!  The days are getting shorter and cooler, but the enthusiasm for missionary work is going strong!  We were excited to receive sixteen new missionaries including two couples.  We are grateful for them and the dedication of their time to the Lord's work.

The first Anziano came in at Malpensa on Tuesday  morning

The second Anziano came in at Malpensa Airport in the afternoon on Tuesday
