Because my camera was stolen from my coat pocket at the metro (underground train) at the duomo of Milano on Saturday night, I bought a new one on 9 March 2016 at a large Wal-Mart like store next to a large grocery store near our home. It was on sale for 100 euro, which is about 112 US dollars. It is a very small Canon point and shoot, which will nicely fit in my pants pockets, which I think would be harder to pick pocket.






Early morning from the balcony of our bedroom overlooking the street on which we live. Ring necked doves come to our balcony and coo me awake.












Myrna making pancakes for the 14 missionaries going home on 10 March, this was done in the mission office in the kitchen adjacent to our office.









Missionaries in the conference room.  They came from all over the mission and arrived at different times, so some had eaten and were playing Uno while others were eating pancakes and waffles.  They were here across from our office and around all day, we took them to a restaurant for dinner and a hotel for the night.  Most fly out about 6 am tomorrow, although the third from the left elder is an Italian from the island of Sardinia.
