Here: Lampugnano

Date: Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 4:01 AM, Part 1

We tried to talk to a lot of people in the airports, and nobody was really super interested, but I handed out a BOM with my testimony inside, but the guy left in on his chair in Heathrow. Va beh. Our layovers were actually really short, and before I knew it, I was in Italy. When we arrived, we got picked up by the president and his wife and drove to Opera. (Roads are terrible in Europe and so is this keyboard), I was sweating like crazy in my suit. Lucky for me, I only have to wear suits Sunday now. After we ate a small lunch (way better than the MTC) we headed on the Metro to the Duomo, the most famous place in Milan. We began contacting, and I was rejected like 40 times before 2 hours were up. We went to bed early that night, and woke up at 6:30 like normal. This is when we received our trainers and areas. My area is the Lampugnano Milan area, and my companion is Anziano Crowther from Colorado.

The mission is the heart of Milan, and the whole mission. It's pretty much the entire west half of Milan and the outlying towns around. When you see a street, feel free to Google Street View it. First things we did after arriving in Lampugnano was I got cash, an abuonamento (city public transport pass), and then we went finding in Parco di Trenno, a huge park here. We found 2 guys, GianLuca, and Fernando. I didn't say much because my Italian is not that good apparently. hahah, ok. I'm getting better very quickly. This place is wonderful. (TIP: Italians hate being helped, there is almost no service, and NEVER ask to help Italians with the dishes, they will not let you)
After finding in the Park, thursday night, we went to "English Class", nobody showed up really, but the church is only 2 km away from our apartment. This is where I met the rest of the district.
