In this picture we are in front of the mission office. The big banner was designed by your Aunt Tania. On the left of the sign is a round design that is our mission logo. It says "Success Through Obedience". These missionaries are the new "batch" that came to us on August 9. The Elders are all Filipino, but Sister Lilo is from Tonga. She was in the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah for two months to learn how to speak Cebuano before she came. The Filipino missionaries go to the MTC in Manila and they don't learn any language there. In the Philippines the national language is Tagalog but almost every province has a different dialect. Filipinos learn some English in school too. So when they come to us some of them already know three languages!
