Becoming the Lord's Missionaries

Becoming is such a great word. . . it is a word filled with potential and promise.

And progress.  For, becoming the Lord's Missionaries is a work in progress 

and one that we are grateful to share.

Three weeks into their missions, our new missionaries and their trainer/companions 

come in to Cauayan for additional training, assurance,

and a chance to reconnect with their batch-mates 

and MTC districts.

It's feasting on the words of Christ and friendship in one great day.

It's learning to become. . .

Over mountain, or plain, or sea.

I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord,

I'll be what you want me to be."
