(Oct 24 2011) Mission News: Elder Ramos and I have been more focusing on less actives this week. We
will probably continue to do so cause Elder Nelson, who is the area 70
here, said that the first presidency wants to see real growth here in
the Philippines. Last year we baptized 700 people here in the Philippines Naga mission and 80% of them our active, which is the
highest active recent convert percentage in the Philippines. But our
sacrament attendance did not increase. So that means that lots of people
went inactive too. Elder Nelson said real growth is more active
members. So a lot of the missions focus is being switched to less
actives. There's a ton! In our ward we have 40 to 50 active members with
around 350 members on the ward list. So there's lots of work to do. We
still have investigators, we just don't do any tracking.
(Oct 18 2011) Mission News: Elder Taylor is on his way to his new area and I'm with Elder Betalas right now, one of
the zone leaders. He's Filipino. I'm staying in Talisay for another
transfer (6 weeks) and I'll be getting my new companion tomorrow. When I
had my interview with President 2 weeks ago he said I would probably
have a Filipino companion. It'll increase my language
skill really fast.
