And Here They Come...

Welcome to the Philippines Cauayan Misison--what we think is the best mission in the entire world! It's full of hardworking and happy missionaries who are making a huge impact on the lives of each other, the members and investigators.

Our theme is "No Regrets" and we always help new missionaries to start off right by accounting each night in their nightly prayers and asking "Do I have any regrets today? Did I do my best today?"

We were so excited at the airport and I have to admit I was crying as I welcomed each one of them.

And fresh from the Provo MTC are Elder Hepworth, Doney and Bahr

And Sister Stabenow and Elder Heumann

President explains the events of the day and welcomes to this great work!

I think they actually were awake during the orientation! (Not like those before who came off an overnight bus trip!)

We can tell this is a great batch of missionaries!

 After orientation, initial interviews with President Carlos, photo taking and lunch we headed over to the chapel next door for our transfer meeting.

 Elder Samar, Daniels and Golightly did one of the musical numbers for the meeting. It was absolutely fantastic! They are so talented!


The new batch sang a musical number during the meeting! Wow, were we all impressed.

Fresh from the Manila MTC come Sister Broqueza, Fanugao, Perlas and Acoba

After a few talks, assignments were given, testimonies shared and it was time for missionaries to head to their new areas and get back to work! (Sorry I didn't get one good group shot of these folks!)
