Christmas Every Day in the Italy Milan Mission

Usually, two out of every three months, we have zone training.  At Consiglio (Mission Leadership Training) we spend some of the time planning and discussing what will be taught in the Zone Training.  The Sister Training Leaders and Zone Leaders then teach and conduct the training in each of their zones a few days after Consiglio.  This December the training in each of the zones was held between December 16th and December 23rd.  President and Sister Dibb were able to attend in all the zones and observe, enjoy and wish a "Merry Christmas" to each of the missionaries.  A bit of extra time was added to each meeting so that the missionaries could have dessert and a bit of Christmas celebration with their zone.  The Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders did a fabulous job in planning and carrying out this training and Christmas celebration.

What a joy it is to be with the missionaries of the Italy Milan Mission at this Christmas season.  Of course, as President Dibb says, "Every day is Christmas on a mission" because we have the privilege of teaching the Doctrine of Christ every day.

Buon Natale and Buon Anno!
