Roger and Edie DuPaix received their mission call on February 22, 2012, to serve in the Philippines Quezon City Mission as Public Relations Specialists. They were to enter the MTC in the summer but a call from church headquarters the next day asked them to come much sooner. After checking with his principal and the school district, it was determined that Roger could leave a week before school ended so they will enter the MTC for a week’s training on May 28 then fly to the Philippines. They will have monthly training here at church headquarters before they leave. Their mission will be for 18 months.
Quezon City is the former capitol of the Philippines and its largest city. Located on the island of Luzon, Quezon City (popularly known to Filipinos as QC) is one of the cities that make up Metro Manila, the National Capital Region. The Manila Temple and MTC are located there. Rogers and Edie will work with another senior couple under the direction of a church employee and will work with all of the missions in the Philippines. (The Church is building its third temple in the Philippines; this new one where Justin Keetch served his mission.)They will live in a modern apartment building across from the Manila Temple. Six days of the week they will be in their office and on Sunday they are to go wherever the mission president sends them. They have much to do quickly in preparation inasmuch as they are leaving two months earlier than they had planned. Sarah and John Southwick and Stephen will be living in their home in Sandy while they are gone. Roger and Edie will be a great asset to the work and they and their family will be blessed!
