New District Leader Training

The District Leader...

Where "the rubber meets the road".

We depend on our district leaders to give front line

leadership and inspiration

to the members of their districts.

They also conduct baptism interviews and give others

the opportunity to feel the Saviors love as they take

the step towards baptism in His church.

They will do a wonderful job!

We welcome our new District Leadership.

~Mission Leadership Council~

We are always grateful for the opportunity 

to serve with our missionaries

in whatever capacity possible.

They are capable and committed to excellence on a level

that is inspiring and even humbling.

We depend on them to guide their fellow missionaries

in excellence of service as they all

strive to be the disciples of Jesus Christ they 

have come here to be.

Thank you for your great examples!

Missionary Couple's Seminar

We recently enjoyed our annual Missionary Couple's Seminar in Milan.

Our days were full and our association so very enjoyable.

Our couples are spread far and wide in the mission

to better meet the needs of our young missionaries 

who are also spread far and wide.

They are invaluable to us, the missionaries and the wards/branches

in which they serve.

Their assignments range from military support,

local membership support, Young Single Adults, Pathway

and beyond.  

They feed many ... VERY many ... and do all they do with a

dedication and generosity that speaks well for each of them.

They mean a lot to those they serve.

We include ourselves in the list of lucky recipients and want to say

"Grazie mille"!

The first day begins with a lunch of Minestrone Soup and garlic bread

Prepared by the Griffiths, our office couple.

Then ... off to Duomo ... via the metro!

In line to take the lift up to the rooftop.
It's a lovely day.

Picture taking opportunities are literally everywhere!

I call the rooftop the "Milano Beach" because on a wintry sunny day
it is warm and toasty.

Now - on the the Duomo interior
with it's underground remnants of previous churches.

Duomo proper was amazing.
We see why it took over 400 years to build.

2,000+ Euro purses in the Galleria

 Day ends with diner at the mission home
and devotional.
We are feeling blessed!

Day two begins...
with RHO Fiera
It is hard to explain the immensity of the fair and the many
buildings filled with crafts and foods from all over the world.
We split up to see what we each wanted to see and then met at the
determined time and place with our packages in hand.
What an adventure!

On to Como and a ride up the Funicolare to see the vista of this
beautiful place.

Internet samples of what we saw.  

Projected lights on the buildings.

 
On our way home.

Final dinner - pizza, of course!
All great occasions in Italy need pizza.

Dear Missionary Couples serving in the Italy Milan Mission...
we hope you know you are loved and appreciated,
because you are.
Grazie mille!
