It's a great day to be a missionary!

LIke many missions across the world, our mission is growing.  These are the numbers that are of interest to us right now: 

 21  156   220   22   91   46%   17   13

21:  the number of missions in the Philippines, 4 new ones this July.

156:  the number of missionaries in the Cauayan Mission 1 year ago.

220:  the number of missionaries by this October.

22:  the number of Sister missionaries 1 year ago.

91:  the number of Sisters by October

46%:  by October, the number of our missionaries that will be on their mission six months   
        or less.

17:  the number of new apartments rented between July and October.

13:  the number of nationalities represented in our mission.


In Doctrine and Covenants 88:73, the Lord said, 


"Behold, I will hasten my work in its time."

We are in that hastening time, a great time to be on the earth, a great time to be a Latter-Day Saint, and a great time to be a missionary.  This is our privilege and we are humbled and honored to be a part of this great work.  It is a great day to be a missionary!


Mission Leadership Council
and Specialized Training Meetings

Part of our August Mission Leadership Council and Specialized Training Meetings were focused on how we will grow along with our numbers.  These excellent Sisters and Elders have great thoughts and insights and we are grateful for them. Together we look forward to the exciting growth of the Philippines Cauayan Mission--

"This is an historic time.  There have never been so many missions and so many missionaries.  This is your day.  This is our day.  God is hastening His work and we are privileged to be a part of it.  Only history will tell how well we are using this opportunity."
