He met Ryan and then had
several missionaries escort Ryan and the other 7 new missionaries assigned to
Milan, Italy Mission to downtown Milan to do a little bit of sight seeing- to
visit the Duomo (the Cathedral) and other sites in downtown Milan. He then will have dinner with the mission

Just a few more photos of the city of Reggio Emillia, Ryan's first area.
The mission
president said that his area includes Parma known for its parmesan cheese and
prosciutto. The area also has a lot of immigrants and many of the people interested in the church 
are not from Italy. He is near Modena known for
the source of balsamic vinegar and Lamborghinis. His ward is in the Verona stake(the Reggio Emellia ward) his ward includes he and
his companion and a set of sisters also serving. 
Reggio Emillia is between Parma and Modena and two hours south of Milan (by train) and one hour 45 minutes north of Florence.
His companion is a convert from Florida and a college
graduate and a karate black belt who, according to his mission president is out
for the right reason, humble, sharp and one of his best.
I am so excited for him.
