Just a brief note to let you know your missionary has arrived! I apologize for the group email, however, we were at the orientation late yesterday and only in the office for an hr this am before we go to the bahn station for transfers. Your missionary is getting his-her companion right now and area assignment. We are excited to have them. Truly this is cream of the crop young adults! They come with such fluency. We love them and thank you for preparing such wonderful young adults to serve the Lord. They managed to stay awake and got to their hotel room about 6pm. I know they slept like rocks!!!
Please view the blogspot, located in my signature, to view updated photos and activity. You are welcome to view this throughout the mission and distribute it to family and friends.
Remember, mail is our biggest challenge! It is very undependable and unreliable to say the least! Cushion anything that rattles (like m&ms) to keep it quiet to avoid customs check because they think it is medicines! Also do not send any beef jerky or animal product. It will be confiscated. Please send anything you want to arrive in a timely manner 6-8 wks in advance. Especially Christmas. Don’t procrastinate!!
We promise to take good care of your missionary! We love them!!! Another correspondence will follow, maybe early next week, to give you your missionary’s address and other follow up. Bear with us! These are big numbers of missionaries to follow up on! All the data has to be entered into the IMOS system to merge companion/address information, etc. By June we will have received 100 new missionaries and by November we will receive another 100! Our mission should end up to be about 275 +/-.
