Transfer Week...Coming & Going, October 2012

This is our group going home in October!  From the left, Sister

Baladad, Elder Torres, Sister Roque, Me, Sister Gabonada, 

President, Sister Villiasis and Elder De Young.

We had a wonderful Home Evening with them the night before

they were leaving.  They all bore powerful and sweet testimonies!

We always have great hopes for our missionaries who have finished

their missions and gone home.  President has always told them that

the most important thing for them to learn on their mission is the 

reality of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how it helps people 

to change and find true happiness in their lives.  

My advice to them was to continue the consistency of prayer,

study and serving others.  If they let go of those good habits, 

they could lose their testimony and their way back to our

Father in Heaven.  I love these missionaries! 

This is our fresh new batch of missionaries!  They are coming so

well prepared...or so it seems!  Anyway, they are always so

excited to get to work!  From the left, front row, Elder Green,

President, Sister Banzali, Me, Elders Discanso and Pioquinto.  

Back row, Elders Malit, Reynolds, Cordova, Geronimo, 

Saunders, Rayos and Aguilar.

  

This is just a shot before going to Transfer Meeting of Elders

Caubalejo and Caling.  Elder Caubalejo is a Zone Leader and

Elder Caling a new trainer!

We are getting ready for breakfast on the morning of Transfer 

Day.  Elder Aguilar was always helping to set the table or clear it

or wash dishes!  He is very kind and service oriented!  We usually 

have a good breakfast of scrambled eggs with melted cheese,

fried rice and pineapple juice. 

This is some of the new batch standing by the Completed Families

Board.  We had a goal of 200 completed families in 2012.  So

far, we have 167 reported completed families. Their pictures are 

placed on the board.  A completed family is a family where all 

the members of that family that can be baptized (8 years old and 

above) are baptized and working together to be sealed as a 

family in the temple.
