Philippines Manila Mission

Vision: We will help bring Heavenly Fathers children back to Him by having every companionship in the mission
complete one Conversion Indicator every week. These conversion indicators are Baptism, Full Activity in the Church,
Temple Preparation and Temple Ordinances. We will do this by focusing on the Atonement of Jesus Christ, being exactly
obedient and being completely humble. We will work closely with our local leaders and members. We will plan effectively,
use our time wisely and invite for baptism in every lesson.
