Dear Brother and Sister Fivas,
We are pleased to inform you that your daughter, Sister Fivas, arrived safely in Urdaneta earlier today. They left Manila late due to the heavy traffic and the inability of the group to secure bus tickets coming to Urdaneta and so their departure from Cubao was delayed for about 3 hours.

The group arrived at approximately 4pm and were picked up by my Elders at the pick-up point promptly and brought to the Mission Home. After dinner and a short rest, we held a small meeting for the missionaries, together with my wife and 5 children for them to get to know my family and I better.
They have now been ferried to the various apartments where they will spend a night before they meet their trainers and will be assigned an area tomorrow at our transfer meeting.
Attached is a picture of your daughter with my wife and I at the Mission Home. Rest assured that your daughter is in good hands. I will email you again when your daughter has been assigned an area and a trainer.
Sincerely,
Ernesto A. Deyro Jr.
President, Philippines Urdaneta Mission

Dear Brother and Sister Fivas,
We are delighted with the arrival of your missionary, Sister Fivas, here in the Urdaneta Mission on December 30, 2015. She is excited about her mission and enthusiastic about entering the Lord’s service in this area. She has had an orientation session and is now serving in her first assignment with a trainer.
Your missionary is assigned in Aguilar 2B Area, Aguilar Zone, and her companion is Sister Latorre. 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

We appreciate the opportunity to work with your missionary. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you or her. We love your missionary and want this mission to be a great experience for your entire family.
Sincerely,
Ernesto A. Deyro Jr.
President, Philippines Urdaneta Mission
