Dear Family and Friends,
We were delighted with the arrival of your missionary, Elder Snow, here in the Baguio Mission. He is excited about his mission and enthusiastic about entering the Lord’s service in this area. He has had an orientation session and is now serving in his first assignment with a trainer.
Your missionary is assigned in the Agoo 1A Area in the Agoo Zone. The enclosed map will enable you to locate this area and follow each future transfer. We have also enclosed a photo taken at the Mission Home.
We urge you to write your missionary regularly each week. Include encouraging news of family events and achievements, spiritual experiences and other matters which will bring joy and deeper commitment. Omit mention of family problems or other matters which can only bring worry or concern.
May I point out that Missionaries serve with an eye single to the Glory of God. This means that their focus is entirely on the work of the ministry and they do this with great intensity. Please do not mention how much time they have remaining to serve nor special things you may have planned to do with them when they return home as it will only distract their attention from their service to the Lord
This is a wonderful country and your missionary is in for one of the greatest experiences of his life. With your support and encouragement he will mature and progress beyond your expectations. He will develop a great love for the Filipino people. The people here have great love and respect for the missionaries as they strive to teach a better way of life.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with your missionary. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you or Elder Snow . We love your missionary and want this mission to be a great experience for your entire family.
Sincerely,
Bradly A. Oldroyd
President, Philippines Baguio Mission
