The final zone conference in Milan was powerful. So many of missionaries I had counseled were there. They expressed love and appreciation for my help. What a tender mercy to finish our mission with a trip like this. The Brownings were so generous with their time and attention trying to help us have a great experience. Our hearts were so full for the privilege it has been to serve the Savior in Europe.
We had one day off before we had to fly back to Germany. We spent it seeing a few of the popular sites in Milan. The Duomo is a spectacular cathedral in it's design and detail. You can walk around on the roof and get a close look plus enjoy the views from on top.
The Galleria shopping center next door to the Duomo was a great place to have lunch.
Leonardo DaVinci left a powerful legacy in Milan. This statue to him along with other visionaries of the area was great to see.
DaVinci's Last Supper mural was something we had to purchase tickets well in advance to see but was worth the effort.
We enjoyed being hosted by the Brownings in the mission home and spent our last night with them having dinner and enjoying some fun games. What a marvelous trip this was!
Leaving Milan at the airport we were greeted by another representation of the DaVinci Last Supper mural.
In appreciation to the Brownings for their invitation to the zone conferences and their hospitality, we sent them one of our favorite wood carvings from our favorite craftsman in Germany, Tony Sauer.
President and Sister Browning were thrilled to get this carving of Moroni.
