Go Forth With Faith Part 1 Departures: "To Be Continued…"

"To Be Continued…"
Departure Days November 3-4

Tuesday, November 3
The gathering begins!
This day our missionaries gather in the mission office to have their final interview with President Rahlf, along with weighing their luggage, closing out their finances, getting 
their itineraries for travel, and happily recounting their missionary days together.






We call this day "To Be Continued…" because we meet together and talk with them about all they have to look forward to as their lives go forward, blessed by a great foundation they gained in their missionary service.






Friends are invited to join with us for our Departure Fireside and Testimony meeting.  How blessed we are to know that these friendships are for eternity.
















We spend the evening together in the Mission home, with dinner and then 
the Traditional Tie/Material Cutting ceremony.

Mission Tour with Elder and Sister Schwitzer October 27-30

We just had the wonderful blessing of hosting Elder and Sister Schwitzer for a Mission Tour.  They flew into Tuguegarao on Tuesday, October 27 and were with us until Friday morning.  We visited hospitals and missionary apartments and held two zone conferences. They were both very complimentary of our missionaries and the spirit within our mission.
As well, we were taught by two great teachers and we all gained new insights and perspectives.  Ask your missionary about C*A*S*H; about the Basic C's of missionary work; and about the powerful principle of repentance in true conversion.  We are so grateful for their visit and the time they were able to spend with Cauayan Mission.

We are deeply grateful for the time Elder and Sister Schwitzer 
were able to spend with our missionaries and for the 
tremendous spirit we felt while being taught and uplifted by them.

It's a great time to be a missionary!

of the Lord's redeeming love."
