We are so
excited to have your son join us in Durban! President Thompson and I picked up
all 14 missionaries yesterday. Given the large number, we brought four cars to
fit everyone (including the mission van).
This group of
missionaries have been the most impressive we have received in the year we have
been serving. Thank you for raising such a faithful young man!
We have a
missionary blog where I have posted photos of our meeting and first day
together. You can see photos of your missionary at:
Feel free to
share the blog with family and friends. We welcome comments on the blog as
well.
We had the
BEST testimony meeting (to date) last night with these wonderful new
missionaries! All fourteen shared their feelings, and the spirit was strong.
They also
received their first assignment last night, and this morning most have met
their new companions. Elder Whiting has been assigned to the Berea area, not
far from the mission office! It's growing and a great area to serve!
The people
here are prepared to hear the gospel, and those who are already members are
extremely faithful and committed! Some walk 13 kilometers to church every
Sunday! They are extremely articulate when they bear testimony - it is such an
honor and blessing to be among these faithful people of South Africa.
If you should
ever have any concerns or questions, feel free to email me.
Best wishes,
Sister
Thompson
