A distant cousin (oral surgeon) and spouse are serving a medical mission at the Philippine MTC. They report long hours, extreme shortage of qualified volunteers, and the poor dental health of the young missionaries. He also serves to perform patriarchal blessings as many of the young trainees have not received their blessings. The whole subtext sounds like a giant cluster f… to me.
They do report the Philippine temple as inspiring, but make no mention of the BofM, JS, or true church. There are several upfront references to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Their down time is spent at private resorts and they seem to take no advantage of learning about the diverse cultures and social challenges of life in the Philippines.
What is LDS inc accomplishing in the Philippines?
