Because of the hard work, determination, faith and love of Elder and Sister Atkinson who are serving way down in Quezon, Cabar, and Brooke's Point in Palawan..... FIVE missionaries left Palawan and flew for the first time to Manila where we were able to meet with them so President Ostler could set them apart for their missions before they entered the MTC. The words, "There is hope smiling brightly before us" have new meaning. The sisters' names literally are Joy and Happiness. They match their names. Their mission presidents will be glad to get them! They all come from tiny little branches in remote places, but their faith is strong. The world is in good hands with missionaries like them!
