Week 42.. Typhoon Koppu... Oct 21

Typhoon Alert...

Good morning Angeles Mission Parents and Friends:



This morning Typhoon Koppu is pushing its way across the Angeles Mission. The storm came ashore at 1 a.m. local time near the city of Baler. This is the far eastern edge of Angeles Mission. The storm made landfall as a more powerful and intense typhoon than had been predicted.


Thankfully, we have prepared for a strong storm and as of 8:30 a.m. local time, all missionaries are accounted for and safe. Missionaries living along the eastern coast (Baler and Dingalan), were evacuated well ahead of the storm and will spend the next several days in cities safe from the storm surge.

Missionaries in the eastern portion of the mission are experiencing strong winds and moderate rainfall at this time. In the western half of the mission, winds are moderate as is rainfall. Forecasters predict winds to decrease and rainfall to intensify throughout today. The storm will weaken over land and as it turns to the north.

We are constantly monitoring weather forecasts and the situation with each missionary companionship. Our mission emergency preparedness plan is in place and each missionary has a copy of it. Approximately 20 typhoons pass through the Philippines each year so this is not an unexpected event.  Our missionaries live in homes constructed of concrete and/or brick.  They are good secure structures during a storm.

We already see the hand of the Lord in caring for our missionaries and moderating some of the possible several conditions that may come to the mission. Your prayers are being heard and very much appreciated.

The Philippines Area Presidency is closely involved with the five missions impacted by Typhoon Koppu. We are grateful for their concern and wise counsel.

We love our missionaries. They are obedient, faith-filled and safe.

Love,President and Sister Clark

Philippines Angeles Mission "Where Only the Finest Serve!"

Elder Adrian Brandon Naylor Dear Elder Naylor:
Congratulations on your assignment to serve as a District Leader! This represents a significant accomplishment in your progress as a missionary, and I am proud of you and your efforts.
Your responsibilities as District Leader are substantial. Please carefully study the duties and responsibilities of a District Leader in the Missionary Handbook, pages 55-62. Read and ponder these carefully so the duties will become part of your mind and heart, thus enabling you to fulfill this stewardship in the most effective manner. As the Lord entrusts this stewardship to you, I urge you to fully recognize its significance.
You will now have the responsibility for the effectiveness and well-being of those missionaries assigned in your district. The most powerful factor in your success will be your ministering to others in harmony with the Savior’s teachings (Missionary Handbook, Pg. 57). This influence and your example will help other missionaries to excel in their work. Pray to the Lord every day to strengthen and guide you in fulfilling your assignment. Remember to love and show love to the missionaries in your district. When they know you love and care for them, they will be able to grow and progress more rapidly and more completely.
This experience can be of great value for your growth and development and will equip you to handle significant responsibilities in your career, your family, and in the Church. Apply yourself and make the most of it! It will provide great blessings in your life and in the lives of others.
I am informing your family of this accomplishment. I know they will be most pleased with your appointment as a District Leader. May the Lord bless you with continuing success in His work!
Sincerely,
Scott B. Clark President 

Transfer day!
