May is off and running!

First of all--a very, very Happy Mother's Day to our wonderful moms!  

We couldn't do it without you!

Happy Mother's Day from Philippines Cauayan

We've had a very full week in the mission…and a very good one too.  Our missionaries are working hard and with their hearts and many are being taught the restored gospel.  We are so thankful for our Elders and Sisters.

Mission Leadership Council

May 4

We had a great day of meetings with the mission leadership council (MLC). We focused on working more effectively with members, missionary dress standards and receiving revelations through prayer, as well as addressing needs and issues of the mission.  We are grateful for these missionaries taking their turn to serve on the council to help our mission keep improving and going forth.

Role Practice makes

the best missionaries!

New Trainers Training
May 5

We have 11 new missionaries
coming on May 11 and we spent
a morning with their trainers.  Our
new missionaries will be in 
very good hands.

Career Workshop
May 5
We also have 11 missionaries returning home at the completion
of their missions.  Before they go, they attend a Career Workshop that
teaches interviewing/resume skills and gets them prepared for their great future!
The two groups meet up at the lunch break.

and they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying:
We do not doubt our mothers knew it."
