Letter from the Mission President


Dear Parents and friends.
Our new January missionary group arrived today from the United States!  They were tired and hungry but after we fed them and they perked right up.  We are so excited to have them here with us and serving in this wonderful land of Chile.  Your son, or daughter, will be writing to you tomorrow once they are up and running.  We have asked their trainers to take them to a Cyber shop so that they can write to you and let you know of their new assignments.  Unfortunately, several of them are traveling overnight (right now) to their new area which for most is a 7 to 12 hour bus ride……..  A lucky few were assigned to serve here in Antofagasta so they will not have to endure the lengthy bus ride.  Here is a summary of the assignments made today for your missionary:

Elder Skinner (assigned to Elder Ceballos in Arica)
Elder Sepe (assigned to Elder Marroquin in Antofagasta)
Elder Stokes (assigned to Elder McCusker in Tocopilla)
Elder Osorio (assigned to Elder Garrido in Arica)
Elder Stratford (assigned to Elder Newman in Arica)
Elder Church (assigned to Elder Richards in Tocopilla)
Elder Silvester (assigned to Elder Congelton in Antofagasta)
Sister Catron (assigned to Sister Van Meter in Iquique)
Sister Gorge (assigned to Sister Nuñez in Iquique)
Sister Kennedy (assigned to Sister Cram in Antofagasta)

I have attached the photos of our first day together below (just click on “view photos”).  We feel so blessed to have such a great group of missionaries join us!  Thank you for your great sacrifice and dedication to the gospel in allowing your missionary to serve the Lord at this special time.
