Elder and Sister Edwards arrived in Cauayan for a Mission Tour. He is the President of the PHilippines Area Presidency. They live in Manila. The first day they spent training us on our duties--we learned so much from both Elder and Sister Edwards. That night we invited The Marcos family for Family Home Evening. She is a newly baptized member and they are newlyweds. We had a fun lesson that helped us all to think about our priorities. We sang songs, and played games and then ate dessert.
The next day we headed out to Santiago where the Nueva Viscaya and Santiago zones joined together for a Zone Conference. Elder Edwards started the day by having a one hour session with our district and zone leaders. Then we all joined together for a 4-hour block of training. It was so fascinating to listen to him share his wisdom and command for the scriptures that they time flew by. He called on several missionaries to speak on various topics and to bear their testimonies. The meeting was followed by a catered lunch.
On Wednesday we had another zone conference for Roxas and Alicia Zones. It was Sister Edwards birthday and we had a cake made for her at "Sweet Nothings," a great little European-style bakery just down the road from the Mission Home.
Thank you so much for your pictures and blog...it is nice to see the mission from a different perspective.
