New Missionaries Arrive!

One Anziano and ten Sorelle!

We welcome our eleven new missionaries

with grateful hearts and open arms.

They have come with a desire to serve Him,

Jesus Christ.

They come with testimonies and hope of

great experiences... even miracles!

Today we taught that if they have faith,

are obedient and work hard they WILL

see miracles.

New Missionary Training - March 2018

We enjoyed gathering 

our newest missionaries today.

Nine great missionaries and their

companions came in to Milan

to continue training.

It is a wonderful time of reunion.

Unlike the day they all first arrived,

there are no new faces here.

They are now part of the mission family

and we love them and

are grateful to share this great experience

with them.

Our activity stressed the importance of working with our companion.

Missionary work requires teamwork.

It also requires a good relationship between companions.

One person is not MORE than another.

It really does take two.

Feeling blessed.

Zone Conferences - March 2018

Sometimes it is time...

time to remember WHY...

why the Book of Mormon is so very important

to the work we are trying to accomplish here

in the Italy Milan Mission. 

Without the Book of Mormon

we are just another religion

with an incredible story

that is no longer credible.

WITH the Book of Mormon

we can boldly walk into the world

and help others also hold truth

~TRUTH~

in their own hands.

WITH the Book of Mormon

comes the Spirit of the Holy Ghost

who teaches each willing reader

directly from heaven to heart.

WITH the Book of Mormon

we can prepare others

to enter in the 

"straight and narrow way"

And be baptized.

That is our goal.

The Book of Mormon

and the Spirit of the Holy Ghost

are our tools.

Meet our zones.

Zone Conference Topics

Presidente - Conferences are important to gather and edify.

Teach simply, teach well.

Principles of obedience.  Keep music appropriate.
Elevate language usage. Keep relationships with fellow missionaries
appropriate.  Do not take cell phones into the bathroom. 

Leaving our nets behind to serve.

Find.

Zone Leaders - Utilize the Book of Mormon in all our teaching.
There is power in the book.  Hold it.  Study it.  Use it.
Testify of it.

Sister Trainer Leaders - The First Vision is important.

Always teach it in a reverent, sacred way, from your  heart.

Assistants - In what way can we use the Book of Mormon.
How can we be personally blessed by it's contents.

Presentation of our current statistics of finding, teaching and baptizing.

Sister Allen - Presentation of our mission scripture

D&C 18:44  "And by YOUR hands I WILL work a marvelous

work and a wonder..."
We are His hands as we find, teach, baptize.
Be clean, productive, diligent.

We were also blessed with lovely musical numbers as well as

spiritual thoughts by our great missionaries.

This was a conference to remember.

First, because it was inspirational, and

second, because we MUST remember what we have learned.  

Our goal is to baptize.  

To bring others "into the fold" of Jesus Christ,

of Him whom we testify by the power of

the Book of Mormon,

~~~

 

Conference was wonderful.
Your sons and daughters are wonderful.
