Welcome to our nine newest Elders and Sisters!
This is the smallest group we have welcomed since the opening of the Cavite Mission in July 2013. We could immediately tell that this is a faithful and strong group. The 7 who came from the Provo MTC arrived in the Philippines a week ago and have been staying at the Manila MTC getting all of their immigration papers taken care of. It was there that they met the others and became a batch of 9. They came to us today ready to get away from MTC life and begin serving the Lord as full time missionaries.

Elder Cahan, looks like he got some air, but the cameraman cut him out. Thanks to President I had the best jump of the day and didn't hurt my knees at all.
Orientation
We gathered the new missionaries and their trainers at the Molino chapel for orientation. Right before lunch we joined them into companionship's.
Elder Coffey and Elder Durfee are the AP's and they spoke about the 12-week program.

Sister Tye, thank you so much for all of these pictures. We haven't seen a picture of Elder Boam since we dropped him off at the MTC. It does my heart good to have him in your watchful care, and serving under the direction of President Tye! We love you!
