New Missionary/Trainer Orientation

We invited our latest batch of new missionaries back for a little more training. They came with their trainers and we had a wonderful time together. This batch was so excited to see each other after been in the mission field for a few weeks. They had so many stories to share with each other! With 24 great new missionaries we are so excited about this mission!

 Elder Doney and his trainer Elder Delector

 Elder Sarcauga is training Elder Ceguadrau

 In the front  row is Elder Volpe and his trainer Elder Allen and then there's Elder Bangal with his trainer Elder Betancourt

Elder Maagad and Elder Linnell are inspired to work hard because of their LOVE of CHRIST.

 Elder Volpe and Elder Allen were very creative with their "Many are Waiting" poster

 "Forget Yourself and Go to Work!" What a great slogan Elder Doney!

 Sister Stabenow and her trainer selected "Listen with Love!"

 Elder Bahr's motto is "Never Back Down!"

Elder Hepworth's is "Never Give UP!"

 I love this motto: Trust in God by Elder Labetoria and his trainer Elder Odom

 Elder Bangal and his trainer came up with this great motto: It's about them!

 Keeping "Him in Mind" will certainly help Elder Rumbaoa

 Someone has great talent for doing lettering. Is it Elder Manabo or his companion? This motto is Come unto Christ!

 Elder Dariagan and his companion believe that OYM is Fun (Open your mouth!)

 Raising the Bar is what Elder Belaro and his companion are planning on doing during their 12 weeks training period.

 Inspiration, hydration and communication is important to Elder Rocamada.

Elder Ceguadrau explains his very philosophical poster.

Sister Carbaquil will "Work For Miracles!"

 Sister Fanugao and her trainer Sister Gardoce are going with Walk with Purpose

 Sister Broqueza and Sister Phillips pledge to serve with smiles!

 It's pretty simple isn't it? Just Love One Another and the work will go forth. Thanks Elder Masacayan!

 Sister Alicando and Sister Flory plan to "Seize the Day!"

 Elder Camain believes we should Love One Another

 "Just Work Hard" will get the work done, won't it? Elder Cabaltica's great motto.

 Sister Perlas and Sister Diola will Serve with Love

I'm not sure why we don't have a photo of Elder Heumann, he is such a enthusiastic and prepared missionary. We love him to death! We will have to get some photos of him! We feel so good about this new batch of missionaries. The work is in good hands. It will be hard to say goodbye to them in a few months!
