New Missionaries & Trainers Orientation and Training (and reunion!) November 11, 2015

We usually bring our newest missionaries and their trainers back into Cauayan at 4 weeks. But with a mission tour and changed Transfer Day, it ended up being 5 weeks instead.  They all look great and are doing well.  We spend the day in more orientation, had a great lunch, took lots of pictures and answered questions.  It was so good to see everyone again and to feel that rejuvenation to go forth in this great missionary work.

Gathering for the day in
the mission office...

Lunch makes us smile!

Go Forth With Faith Part 3 Transfer Day "I'll go Where You Want Me to Go"

Along with departing and arriving missionaries, many of our missionaries are transferred to a new area and companion.  We have three transfer points in our mission, and the missionaries being transferred go to one of the points and then travel to their new area.  Following are some pictures from transfers at the Cauayan point.  

Every Transfer, missionaries across the world faithfully say, 

"I'll go where you want me to go…"

as instruments in the hands of God for His work.

"Let them go two by two, and thus let them preach by the way…"

Doctrine and Covenants 52:10

"The Lord will reward and richly bless you 

as you humbly and prayerfully serve Him.  

More happiness awaits you than you have ever experienced 

as you labor among His children."

The plane from Manila has landed, bringing our 13 new missionaries.

And here they are!

 Luggage loaded, pictures taken, and off to the Mission Home.

 Lunch (yay!), a personal interview with President Rahlf, orientation with the Senior Couple missionaries and Sister Rahlf, and then it's time to meet the first companion--

 Brand new Companionships
(sorry I missed getting Sister Talara and Sister Tupou)

A new pillow, materials from the commissary, grab the luggage and off to the field!

A huge thanks to our Senior Couples in the commissary--they keep it all together for us!
