Outgoing Missionaries November 2017

Time in missions is not normal - ever.

Days can drag and weeks can speed by,

or days speed and a transfer can be gone in a blink.

The end always comes before we are ready - always.

Each transfer we send home wonderful missionaries who

have taken their time of service very seriously.

These are some of our very best - again.

Words cannot express our love and appreciation.

This group has been 

Dedicated, diligent, exemplary, secondo, obedient, loving, joyful!

And their service will be remembered - forever.

Ci vediamo e' vi voglio bene!

Match and First City!

Anticipation is high!

In less than 24 hours after arriving in Italy

these wonderful new missionaries will receive 

their first companion and first area.

It is more than exciting...

...it is inspiring,

because much prayer, preparation and inspiration

was involved in these decisions.

Now is their opportunity to finally, finally

be the disciples of Jesus Christ

they came to be.

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.
